With the right kind of encapsulation it wouldn't be an issue, but it seems impossible to convince people to stop categorizing their MUDs as 'mmorpgs', 'virtual communities', 'Role-playing video games', 'Fantasy video games', etc. There's the 'MUD games' category which should suffice.

In a way Wikipedia is ideal because it forces a handful of people to step up and properly source their contributions, on the other hand, the tendency of people to plug their MUDs beyond the mud categories is bound to get editors in the mood to delete the spam that crawls where it shouldn't.

This is why insignificant articles that stay within their niche survive, while 'bubba mud', that wants to be in the 'horror video game' category, gets nukes.

Can't get deleted if they can't find you.
