If someone is actually interested in writing fanfic, they probably won't be content with just "writing a few lines". The intention of "writing a few lines" is to allow editors to write a little bit of backstory for their character, or introduce their roleplay persona, even if they're not interested in writing full-fledged fanfics. Making people aware that there is a dedicated wiki for fan fiction is the intended purpose, so I wouldn't agree that we are "just sending people to user pages". Judging by fanfics being effectively absent on this wiki and, well, fairly abundant on the player wiki, I'd say it's working as intended.

As I said, we do not operate on a favour-for-favour basis. We have the link on our main page and the notice in the page creator because we wish to cooperate with you in separating fan fiction and game information, and consequently we want to direct the appropriate traffic towards the player wiki. If the admins of the player wiki no longer feel that it's appropriate to link to the info wiki, or that our topics are no longer related, then that's fine too (although I'd very much like to see the argumentation behind that decision).

If you feel that our linkage to the player wiki is insufficient, please provide reasons why, as well as concrete suggestions for improvement. If you convince us your concerns are justified, we will be happy to accomodate these changes. Either way, trying to pressure us into changing something is definitely not a good idea.
