Hello Everyone,

I have been recently working on several films depicting myths and folklore, the first being on the legendary Yeti. The film will be entirely in the Tibetan language.

I also plan on making films on Roman mythology in classical Latin and others on cryptids/mythical creatures. Updates coming soon!

Hey so when I realized in Philippine Mythology that there is no Bakunawa, a serpent-like creature in Philippine Mythology, I added the Bakunawa and trust me, when you read it, you will be amazed so, check it out now!

P.S. I'm not advertising, I promise.

Hello guys, im new to this wiki. Can you guys show me around?

I have added three new creatures originally from the Philippines, the Bakunawa, the Lampong and the Kiwig. Check them out now!

I made a post a few days asking for input. Since none of the other admins have gotten back to me I've decided to try turning off article comments to 1, Reduce inappropriate comments 2. Reduce admin work load 3. Funnel social interactions to the forum and user profile walls. If the other admins/bureaucrats have any issue, this is something any of them can reverse using the admin dashboard.

Hi, I'm an art student and I'm looking for interesting stories or characters from different mythologies and folklore. I'm working on a project and I use topics like imagination, our thoughts, death, and nihilism, dirt, sand, the ocean, and stars. if anyone knows about an interesting myth or folklore that connects to one of those topics (or even one that doesn't really connect but is very interesting from a philosophical point of view) it will be very helpful!!

thanks a lot !!

Just curious. How do you all feel about article comments? We already have this forum, message walls on our user profiles, as well as a Discord server. I'm not sure if article comments really adds that much to the experience. Many of them seem to be spam or vandalism, and it may help simplify things by limiting interactions to the forum. I'm by no means set on this idea, but if the other admins think it's a good idea we can turn off article comments as a feature of the site.

There's also an issue with people using the article comments to roleplay about mythological characters. I think that the articles need to be professional and scholarly content, and comments of people joking around or roleplaying kind of takes way from that. I also don't want to discourage people from using the site by being too much of a stick in the mud, so I think we should promote the user blog feature as the official place for mythology-based rolepaying and fan-fiction on this site, if that's what people are into. Let me know what you guys think.

please send me everything you people have on werewolves

When auto browser fixed

I planned to change the word creature

But I am confused what is better species or race

Species is separated kind of being and races are various forms of same species and all of them exist in this wiki

I prefer words like race and species because being, creature, animal, monster etc. are too specific and not applied to all mythical species because the word being used for exist and alive people, and the word creature for those whom created by someone and so on

But I want to know your opinion

So I want to ask the other admins on here what they would think about creating a new general category page called "Mythology by Subject Matter" or "Mythology by Subject?"

The category "Mythology by Subject" would then contain other general category pages of various subject matters.

For instance we can have a category called "Astronomical Objects" which contains all articles which relate in one way or another to astronomical objects such as the sun, moon, or stars.

Or we can have a category within "Mythology by Subject" called "Sky" which contains all articles which relate in one way or another to the sky, such as deities which represent the sky, or creatures that reside in the sky or personify it in some way.

I think that there will be some overlap with the categories "Deities by Association" and "Personifications," but "Deities by Association is limited to only deities and not creatures, places, or people, and as for "Personifications," not all things associated with the sky, for instance, are necessarily personifications of it.

What do you all think? I think this could help with navigation and act as a glossary of sorts. We could just call it "Mythology Glossary" for that matter!

Cheers!

Is there a category (or a similar category) about gods and goddesses who are weavers?

Hi there, I just wanted to stop by and say that the wiki is looking better than I ever remember it and you are all doing a great job. I'm glad to see the effort that has been put into reworking this wiki and its formatting!
