otherkinnewsa little bit of backstory on this: in july-ish of last year, my dear cohost gained adminship over the fandom wiki of the same name. he worked hard at it, but a combination of rising investment in the longevity of the project and rising awareness of fandom's generally scummy business model lead us to the conclusion that eventually, we'd have to get off the platform. that time is now! ...okay, well, it was like a week ago. but you get the point.
Otherkin Wiki is an encyclopedia on the culture, history and experiences of otherkin and related alterhuman groups. It aims to be a highly visible, accessible and inclusive resource that represents the full truth and diversity of our communities. It's a little different than other wikis on the same topic in that it's a bit more Wikipedia-ish in its standards for notability and sourcing, but please don't let that put you off - we're actively working to make the barrier to entry and understanding as low as possible for users and editors alike.
Speaking of which, more contributors are needed! We're already gathering a good amount of steam, but in order to get the fullest picture of otherkinity and alterhumanity, we need a large and diverse community of editors and supporters. You can find basic information on how to help on-wiki already - there's a lot more to do than just directly writing articles, and even correcting a single spelling mistake is a meaningful improvement. You can also join the discord server to get guidance on all the stuff we haven't written documentation for yet (which is a lot, it's still early days). Even if you're not interested in directly contributing, you're welcome to join just to ask questions, make suggestions, or hang out.
Most importantly, you can help by simply spreading the word, and particularly by choosing to link to our articles when you're informing and educating other people. Really, our goal bridging the gap between us and the younger generations and non-otherkin/alterhumans, and ameliorating the years of mis- and disinformation that have arisen from not being visible in ways that we're in control of.
So to that end, please consider joining us, and help us build a resource that serves the whole community!
