# As much as I like memes and share them myself, I don't think this is the correct place to "preserve" them. This is a wiki dedicated to documenting the franchise, not necessarily its community and opening up community power like the Fandom wiki did would make this wiki so much less quality imo. We already have a reputation for being "empty but reliable", our problem we should be focusing on at the moment is making more reliable pages on the aspects of the franchise we haven't covered thoroughly yet. We shouldn't be swaying from our stated goal just to "be well received by the community". Also, what exactly counts as "widespread" anyways? Are we just going off of popularity on Reddit, what about other platforms? --[[User:Planterror|Planterror]] ([[User talk:Planterror|talk]]) 22:48, 15 May 2026 (UTC) | # As much as I like memes and share them myself, I don't think this is the correct place to "preserve" them.

#I don't think this is a good idea. This wiki's goal is for people to get questions answered or to provide documentation. Memes and trends do not do either of these things. It would also be way too much of a hassle to do and would divert time from the large amount of pages that are still bot generated or stubs.

Fandom Bloons Wiki exists for collections of Bloons stuff. [[User:Qwertyxp2000|Qwertyxp2000]] ([[User talk:Qwertyxp2000|talk]]) 03:21, 16 May 2026 (UTC) | :: To elaborate, unless there's clarity to what counts as a notable meme/trend or not, I don't think it'll be easy to moderate what memes enter the memes/trends page(s), even with the influx of new editors. The amount of effort required to balance out what gets included or not can be tricky. I'm not going to strongly oppose a trends/memes page if there's a way to make it unambiguous what should be included or not, such as if Ninja Kiwi endorses a meme (and not just a moderator of r/btd6), but for now I will go Oppose.
