NGL the amount of Nascar/racing stuff filling up lost media sites is starting to get a little overwhelming, it doesn't exactly help that many of which are fatal car crashes too Just kinda bums me out when I'm looking at lost media stuff and just run into forty posts about car crashes where people died or got horribly maimed. It's easier to ignore gore searchers when it's once in a blue moon, but wow the car crash people just kinda blew up within a few months No offense to normal non-gore NASCAR fans, though

that's why I only go on the forums these days and don't even bother looking at articles anymore.
I know no one's posted here in 20 days but I just really hate the car crap and races that get pages on here now. Could not care less about them.
Yeah...tbh the bulk of racing content on the wiki is from one user. They're a VERY prolific contributor, and they have created some good wiki entries, but the bulk of their entries are motorsports related. Probably over a hundred articles dedicated to racing. I get that the topic is probably very important to them, but now there's so much of it taking up space on the wiki. I think it's time to consider if that content would be better off on a different site, like, say, a blog dedicated to finding and preserving sporting events. I'd happily help set up such a thing.

Media is media. The last thing we need is this site splintering into hundreds of hyperspecific wikis, especially when most of the content that belongs on those is going to be ending up on this one anyways.
"oooh, you're a- a freaked out child in the woods..."

I respect that perspective, but I feel that it would at least somewhat alleviate some users' frustration with having to scroll through so much specific content. Just yesterday, I was looking through the wiki for examples of lost media for a project, and I couldn't help but feel like the one specific topic I referred to in my comment, sports, dominated certain categories on the wiki. If not a "Lost Sports Media Wiki," why not a sports media category on this wiki? That would differentiate that sort of stuff from "incidents," as the wiki says, and other TV media.
I don't understand why a "Lost Sports Media Wiki" is, to quote you, "hyperspecific," though. It doesn't have to be exclusively racing content, and even the contributor I referred to doesn't exclusively write about that one sport. I feel like sports is a broad enough topic, as well as a topic that enough people care about, to warrant such a thing. Like I said, it's about finding and preserving recorded sporting events, many of which have historical value in the world of sport.
Why would there need to be separate pages for this or that? Here’s what it seems like to me: one person doesn’t like “x” topic, so they don’t want to see it here. Why not just skip over that particular topic? Look for the things you DO like. If no one else is discussing your topic, doing away with more popular topics is not going to make them come back… be it racing, NSFL or whatever. I responded once to this Nickelodeon thread and now I constantly get notifications for it. I don’t want them to leave. I’d maybe like to not get the Notifications for it, but it is what it is. Maybe I’m reading more into some of these responses.. forgive me if I am, but why does the answer always have to be the person one person doesn’t like, or that topic have to be moved to a completely different forum?
