The Russian WikiFur (ВикиФур) is the Russian-language edition of WikiFur.
History
It was one of the first, alongside the Spanish WikiFur, to be launched exclusively on the wikifur.com domain, and is also, statistically, the fastest growing in article count. By March 14, 2010, the Russian article count numbered over 1000 (the 1000th article being Пинки и Брейн, or Pinky and the Brain), the first non-English WikiFur edition to cross that threshold[1].
Differences
The Russian WikiFur's rules were translated from English version, and the rule "You are the best judge of [what is related to furry community]" fully applies to Russian version. Only a small part of Russian furry community contributes regularly, so there is more tolerance for coverage of non-fandom anthro topics. Some of the most detailed articles describe topics not prominently featured in furry fandom, such as mainstream anthropomorphic races and characters; others describe borderline anthropomorphics, such as mythological creatures and monsters from RPGs. Otherkin, therian and dragons are considered sister-communities, and related articles are welcome.
There are fewer articles on people compared to English WikiFur[2]. Most non-species articles have one main author, usually the creator, with others only making minor changes or expanding a little. Due to article count, there are a lot of red links; some of them are superscripted with links to Wikipedia instead of direct linking, to encourage new contributions.
Initially the category structure was the same as in English WikiFur, but it had some revisions. Due to Russian linguistics, characters, races and people articles are placed in collective species categories (such as "Wolves", "Bats", etc.). They are differentiated by additional categories. Articles about movies, novels, games and other works are categorized by prominent species (sometimes several). Articles that describe characters (except for people) or something with characters have "character type" template that puts a bodytype icon in the top right corner (such as "anthro", "toon" or "mythological"); it also places the article in respective category.
The Russian WikiFur has several unusual traditions and extensions. Races and species article titles are written in plural to avoid confusion with furries that have the same name. There is a Portal namespace. As of July 2010, it contains just one portal: Felidae. It has automatic "Article of the day" block and sorted lists of felidae-related articles by various criteria (such as "People with jaguar fursonas", "Novels with felidae", "Fictional felidae species").
