Creepypasta (for younger audiences)

For kids even though I read these when I was a kid 204.185.204.253 (talk) 14:04, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Creepypasta dot com is not exactly an "official" site, it's just the oldest one. Also why was the wiki removed? 170.253.167.114 (talk) 23:48, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

These changes are pretty recent.

Agreed about "official", and would go as far as to say that Creepypasta can't really have an official site. It's basically a mix of urban legends and horror stories published online from various authors with no connection to each other. For such a phenomenon, you can have a site that is good or popular, but not official.

The Creepypasta Wiki is a popular site that has been mentioned in the press. It was removed with the summary rm EL. I at least don't think it should be removed without stating a reason.

I will undo these changes. If anyone have a reason for why the Creepypasta wiki should be removed, please state it, so it can be discussed. /Jiiimbooh » TALK – CONTRIBS 12:14, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
