-Creekers have been a part of Malevelon Creek since the first battle ended and we failed to take it. A lot of players, 32K in fact ( per the Helldivers Companion App ) stayed on Malevelon Creek for a period of 12 days after that because they liked it so much. If you dont like tying in the lore to it all so be it, but to completely remove the entire section of Creekers as if its not true, it certainly is, one can argue more than the nickname given to Malevelon Creek. Do a few searches about Creekers and its definitely more fact than lore.

- The staked and decapitated heads of fallen Helldivers are part of nearly every single base on Malevelon Creek, even torture chambers are included on some of these bases with civilians ripped apart while still being chained up. It was until much later that players started finding them and asking the developer about it, which they never confirmed if it was added before or after the first battle. Many reddit users believe it was done after we failed to liberate Malevelon Creek the first time. There a dozens of reddit posts and youtube videos showing these things being a part of the bases on the planet.

- A anagram is a wordplay technique to make different words from another, Malevolent and Malevelon have similar word structure and letters aka anagram. Ine M, two Ls, two Es, One A, One N, One V, One O. Only one letter is missing from each other, the T.

the very definition of the word Malevolent speaks directly to how some players described it to be. It is not fact, it is not lore. However it is an educated guess.

the definition of Malevolent is exactly how many describe the planet.

- Creekers was coined as a derogatory insult towards people who play on the Creek. It was never a self-proclaimed title and trying to turn it into one just isn't gonna work. I removed it not because the term exists, but because it's a toxic term and shouldn't be displayed.

- I've yet to see any stalked/severed heads, and I've got 181 hours played so far (most of which was against bots). I can't find any reference images online, or a single reddit post talking about such things. If you can provide proof, then I'll gladly allow it. Until then, it's a no-go.

- An anagram requires every letter from one word be rearranged to make a new word. Malevelon and Malevolent, as you've even pointed out, hold a different character, therefor it's not an anagram. If you want to reinterpret it to just display the similarities in the words, be my guest, however it's in no way, shape, or form, an anagram.

I promise I'm not trying to gatekeep or be an ass about this, but if it's not lore or widely accepted, it doesn't belong here.

About Creekers, that maybe your opinion but not the overwhelming opinion of the entire community.A lot of reddit posts are positive about Creekers and its term.

to the second about severed heads, you didn't search well enough then. I will provide multiple links to it.

( These are the torture chambers that I am referring to, look at the fence line primarily, thats where most of the body parts of fallen Helldivers are put, whereas the inside of this place had either SEAF personnel or citizenry)

Smaller version of whats on Malevelon Creek

Please go look up user PBvalve on Twitter, scroll down to his post on Feb 18 for the original photo. This was happening on a few planets. Not a photoshop.

I also think some of the buzzsaw robots have the severed heads of both helldivers and Seaf personnel / citizenry on their backs. I didnt add that because I couldnt confirm.

just took two pictures of staked bodies of Helldivers and heads of Helldivers on Menkent.

I stand corrected. You're free to add that information if you'd like and I apologize for opposing it.

New Community Manager
Hi! I'm ReverieCode, and I'm part of the Community Manager team at Fandom, focusing on gaming wikis.

I wanted to introduce myself as I've been assigned to be a point of contact and provide any support the Helldivers Wiki might need, whether it's technical help, bug reports, or answering any questions users here have about Fandom and any of its tools and features. I'll also be sharing updates from Fandom that are relevant for the wiki to know. (I was a Wiki Representative before this and am doing the same - just in a different role now.)

From what I can see, you're in the process of adopting the wiki, which is great to see - the game is blowing up, and the wiki could probably use all the help it can get. But yes, if you need assistance or have something to report to Fandom, please feel free to send me a message at any point! –ReverieCode 10:54, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Taking without credit
Very suspicious that you take files from the Helldivers Wiki on wiki.gg, sometimes simply reframe and apply a filter, but don't even credit them. The new reupload of the stratgem files for example, they're way closer to what the wiki.gg wiki has, and don't adhere to your wiki's standard at all. Makes me wonder what else you took without credit.

If this wiki is truly better, then why do you feel the need to take? StaleBread367 (talk) 16:06, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

-

I don't know why you guys over at wiki.gg are so fixated (and dare I say obssessive) on the fandom wiki. I've got people over at your wiki telling me that you guys are checking our edits daily and making fun of certain aspects; lets not forget the (failed) plot to get fandom removed from the wiki tab on the helldivers subreddit. You guys are becoming so unbelievably petty that you're looking for reasons to be a victim in every corner of this wiki and I genuinely don't understand why. As I've stated, the images I used that you're referring to were ripped straight from the game files, same as wiki.gg, and I simply cropped them and used the auto-enhance and a filter on them. They're not even the same shade colors as yours so on what planet could they be the same? I've put a specific rule on the Wiki Rules page that plagiarism isn't tolerated, and I'm actively going out of my way to remove copied text on our pages that were taken from wiki.gg

So tell me, why on earth would I do all of that and then immediately follow up with stealing images from wiki.gg? Especially when it'd be so obvious if I did? I had a run-in with the sample images being placeholders, but mulled it over with Betta and opted to remove them until I get my own sourced images out of respect for their wishes. Now that I've got 2 images that are coincidentally similar to yours (because they're pulled from the same source), you're going to continue to slander me with no definitive evidence?

I typically just ignore this kind of crap and let it go, but if wiki.gg users are going to continue to be ridiculously petty, along with constantly trying to leech our editors, telling everyone that we're still abandoned and outdated to entice users to go to wiki.gg, telling everyone that wiki.gg is THE wiki (when it's not, and never will be, our wikis will always exist along side each other and that will never change), then action will eventually have to be taken. It's not a route I, or I'm sure you guys at wiki.gg want, but it only happens if you guys don't stop.

I don't know which user you are, since this is clearly a throwaway account, but I strongly advise that you take this advice and to simply stop.

SynysterZackyV (talk) 22:21, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

No proof, huh? These two images were 1:1 a pixel perfect copy, down to the same exact color, of the second uploaded version on wiki.gg. I checked. I also cross referenced your standardized stratagem color, which weren't present on those two images. Plus, why did you feel the need to delete these images if they weren't a copy? In fact, why even ignore your own stratagem icon standards at all? That doesn't seem to be a smart idea for the wiki admin.

And to clarify, we're not shaming you for taking these images. All we ever asked for is to be credited. You seem to be hellbent on striking every record of the name from anywhere in this wiki. If you truly believe in a co-existence, you wouldn't act the way you are. StaleBread367 (talk) 23:12, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Again, the colors were not the same. I even checked via hex editor, they were close, but not the same. I have no comment on the pixels because I'm honestly not going to take the time to find out if that's true or not because I'm serious when I say I didn't take your images. As for "standardized stratagem color", I was testing different shades to see if having them more vibrant was a better idea and maybe overhauling the rest of the stratagem icons. I deleted the images altogether because you were complaining about their mere existence. Why keep them if all they're gonna cause is complaining from the wiki.gg community. I did it to keep the peace, plain and simple.

I told Betta, and anyone else who's tried to talk to me about fandom vs wiki.gg, I respect wiki.gg and I would rather be allies instead of adversaries, but when you guys are nitpicking any chance you get and slander the wiki to everyone you talk to, you make it very hard to keep it that way. We don't pay attention to wiki.gg, yet you guys are keeping track of everything we do and make sure you do everything you can do one-up it. It's childish.

If I ever have any intention to copy wiki.gg content, I would run it by you guys BEFORE doing so post-sample issue, but I don't have the intention to copy anything. It's tasteless and lazy. I'm leaving it at that.
