This Wiki was the former Kid Dancers Wikia - <nowiki>https://kiddancers.fandom.com</nowiki>. - founded by LukasiakManiac and currently owned by ([[User: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. The number of dancers started to grow close to 1,500 dancers, when Fandom asked us to leave.

The were two problems:  
The were two problems:
1. 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.  
 
2. 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. Sadly during that migration a log of data was lost, because the formats were not supported and we didn't get much time to download it all. However, recently Mirahaze asked us to leave, and we looked into SkyWiki, however, 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. It will take some time to fix all gaps, adjust all formats and give the site a good new design. We are sorry for that and thank you for your patience.
