Wikidot: Official Documentation | Wikidot Discord server | NEW: Wikiroo, backup tool (in development)
I just received an email back from one of the teachers at my old school. She tells me that they have blocked Wikidot.com from being accessed by students :(
She can't access this wiki, or any others.
I'm working on getting it unblocked, as I knew the systems administrator when I was there. Hoping someone else hasn't taken his job since.

How stupid. Wikidot can be an outstanding tool for school projects.
There's very much communal activity (don't know if that's the right term, I mean the social stuff) involved in Wikidot (which is an essential part of it), maybe they're comparing it to Facebook or some similar waste-of-time activity.

Best of luck with this Shane. I had the same discussion with an organisation last year and did manage to get it unblocked. There is a misconception in some IS departments that Wikidot is synonymous with spam and dodgy sites. How wrong they are, although with any platform there will always be those who abuse it. Phil Chett is currently doing some very good work to purge wikidot of such sites that do exist and as of yesterday reported
I agree with Janne: Wikidot is used to very good effect in education for lesson planning, timetabling (no more bits of paper pinned to the school noticeboard), lecture notes, assignment submission and so on. And there are several schools that as part of an IT course have the creation of a site about a specific subject, the research and drafting of content as an assignment in its own right.

It would be interesting to understand why. Possibly, Wikidot has been flagged by someone as a wiki farm and thus not safe. I'd also like to know whether it's the IP address or the domain name that is blocked.
I.e. is www.wikify.me accessible?

Robs post above refers to "Profiles". Not sites.
Peiter has started to make some inroads on deleting "sites"
I am not at all surprised that wikidot is banned from lots of schools and the likes.
I can imagine any reponsible IT manager googling wikidot and ?????
And then banning it because of the number of negative results.
Unfortunately Wikidot also suffers from the fact that a lot of other sites do not employ a "clean up" system, and we will suffer from the consequence of this for a while.
Here is my proposal: http://blog.wikidot.com/design:28
