Silent Hill Wiki has forums, a chat room, blogs, and polls for everyone to participate in and discuss anything they like. The wiki is also affiliated with many other fan sites.

Philosophy
Silent Hill is a very mysterious, personal series. Many things in the series are open to interpretation, or have origins left unexplained. Silent Hill Wiki is edited by fans, for fans. Fans tend to hold varying beliefs and opinions about the series. While there are given facts in the series, there is also a lot of mystery in the series. The wiki should never be used in a manner which tries to impose various beliefs on the reader, or else it risks being biased. The wiki should try to be as general and neutral as possible, and debates should always be respectful and dealt with accordingly.

It should also be noted that wiki is an unofficial fansite, which has been edited by hundreds of visitors. Just because one user edits an article, it doesn't necessarily represent the view of the entire community of the wiki. Information added to the wiki always has the potential to be incorrect, however, the success of the wiki is also built upon this risk-taking and learning.
