Of course, every user can create a Wiki for any subject (and they do! Whether it's for shows or games or even someone's own creations), they tend to make these kinds of wikis (where a "major" Wiki already exists for the subject) generally because they want "revenge" (ie, they were blocked, they have issues with admins or editors on the bigger Wiki and they often try to "steal" users) they think they can do a "better" job, or they just want to build their own Wikia on their own time (and in their own way) as Onceuponatimeuser97 described.

It is overwhelmingly my experience, however, that these kinds of Wikis are usually abandoned after a few months-- making a Wiki is hard! Especially if you're doing it alone or with a small number of others, and especially with such an established subject like Once. This Wiki is fortunate that it's been around since the show started-- we've been able to build the site slowly, rather than being hundreds of articles behind. We've been able to grow our editor base as the show grew in popularity.

I mean, I'm an admin on another Wiki (for a show that has been over for about a decade) and there's virtually no other editors than myself. Not quite an abandoned Wiki, but it's definitely neglected.
