==History==

This Wiki was the former Kid Dancers Wikia - <nowiki>https://kiddancers.fandom.com</nowiki>. - founded by LukasiakManiac and currently owned by ([[User:Spacetrain31|Spacetrain31]]) to give competition kids a platform where they or others could post contest results, upload photos and videos of their dances and document their success as dancers and many more. Many of them became later big stars as professional dancers, choreographers, actors or actresses, singers, models, athletes or social media personalities and the Wiki became to a sort of resume of some dancers who got public eye and became public figures. Other simply retired from dancing and moved on to other things. The number of dancers started to grow close to 1,500 dancers, when Fandom asked us to leave.

There were two problems:

# First, Fandom collected the Wiki into their commercial pool and this led into commercial liabilities and burdens to continue with the personal data from the dancers.

# First, Fandom collected the Wiki into their commercial pool and this led into commercial liabilities and burdens to continue with the personal data from the dancers when the COPPA was enforced in April 2020.

# And second, Fandom offered no features for entering new pages or data without reviewing first and it went public directly. In consequence, the reviews came sometimes late and some issues got never noticed. The escalation with Fandom started, when a group of parents, we did not get the names, complained that some kids or others posted their data without parents permissions. So Fandom wanted us to leave for liability reasons and more.

After leaving Fandom, the site was restarted on Miraheze - <nowiki>https://kiddancers.miraheze.org</nowiki>. Sadly during that migration a lot of data was lost, because the formats were not supported and we didn't get much time to download it all. However, recently Miraheze asked us to leave, and we shortly looked into SkyWiki~~, but~~ they had issues with hosting the wiki as well. So now we are running on our own fully owned VPS in the United States, no more data in Europe~~, there~~'s nothing to worry about for now. It will take some time to fix all gaps, adjust all formats and give the site a good new design. We made fast and good progress. So we think we will back online soon with all old and some new features. We are sorry for that and thank you for your patience.

After leaving Fandom, the site was restarted on Miraheze - <nowiki>https://kiddancers.miraheze.org</nowiki> - in the Netherlands and stayed for about four or five years. Sadly during that migration a lot of data was lost, because the formats were not supported and we didn't get much time to download it all. However, recently Miraheze asked us to leave without much argument, and we shortly looked into SkyWiki. But they had issues with hosting the wiki in Germany as well. So now we are running on our own fully owned Virtual Private Server (VPS) in the United States, no more data in Europe. There's nothing to worry about for now.
