I judge wikis based largely on quality of information, lack of spelling mistakes, etc. Quality and quantity are not the same thing, mind you, because your site can have tons of pages, but the comma machine gun went awry, or the spellchecker malfunctioned, or you were Freud for the day, and as a result all those pages come out like a gigantic mass of weird.
I wasn't looking for pages relating to NATM characters on more general wikis, like Heroes or Villains, but rather a wiki specific to Night at the Museum alone. And it only seems like there's only the one: natm.wikia.com. There are a ton of pages, on literally everything, but apparently the spellchecker went out the window along with the butter dish, courtesy of the idiot who wanted to see a butterfly, because you're more likely to find a spelling error (minor or otherwise) than not. It especially doesn't speak well when there's a spelling error in a page title, as an aside to the people who make and edit these things. Add to that the fact that specifically their page on Larry Daley is incomplete, and he's the main character. We're talking about someone who's been going through character development for two movies now, and you can't be bothered to flesh out the sections on those movies? And who "ends up" kicking ass like that, even in the first movie?
But overall, it's better than some other endeavors I've seen. The Little Vampire wiki, for example, is such a shoddy effort that I'm almost afraid of it. This is a good start, but please, learn to love your spellchecker and learn to love your NATM.
