I explained this better long time ago but here (if you are talking about partly from Creator's comment):

For example, if one wiki breaks away from this one (because of dissatisfaction, either from admins or behavior, this happened before on other popular wikis like Althistory and Polandball wiki), Most wikis doesn't care unless the break away gets popular. This causes complications since both wikis has a significant drop of activity (If you notice there is a global ranking system for all wikis, sometimes they compete for a higher position). And no one likes inactivity, this causes wikis to try to compete for popular people. New Wikis can cause a split within the community which widens, as time went on, according to psychology, people would start to take this more seriously sometimes even an obsession as they accept this new situation, this also causes further split around people who has their own ways of solving the situation, which leads to arguments and conflicts. Even if the older wiki lets the new one go, this would cause a significant decline in the older wiki (Ex: a couple althist mentioned a decline in their wiki) Most of the time, this can lead to what you call "childish behavior", oh yeah there are also complications with clone wikis and wikis that copy others. Some other person can explain it better than me.

But basically: Competition



We have no serious complications at the moment, and we should not indulge in this. However, the only complications we have is people keep exploiting misconceptions that this wiki is childish in general (I understand that there are some childish behavior here and there but lets note that all communities have childish behavior, if you look around, at least half of the wikis on the wikia is even more childish than us, but hey each wiki has their perks)
