Re: In defense of all MUDs. Our genre's noteworthiness is being questioned.
It's not all that hard to define what's important if you look at the rules they have in place. The danger is that people look at a lot of the smaller articles and assume they set some sort of precedent, but they don't. So eventually they and articles like them will get deleted. The vast majority of pages on Wikipedia have plenty of discussion over their content but no real question over whether they're notable or not, because most have decent sources and more than a mere handful who care about them.
I'm not saying Mudpedia is a bad thing, far from it. Just that it doesn't help with the Wikipedia issue. With regards to this thread's title, "our genre's worthiness" is not going to be increased outside the mud community just because we put together a wiki about it. That would be another example of us looking forever inward, really.
