  • Sgeo only started the site. GreenReaper made a lot of its content.
But it would be nice if others made even more! :-) GreenReaper
  • Sgeo asked on JRChat (12/28, after requesting the wiki) what the title should be. The title, however, was never set according to that. The title was already Creatures Wiki when Sgeo went online 12/30. Suggested titles:
    • WikiCreatures (Sgeo)
    • Wiki Creatures (Sgeo)
    • Wikicreatures (Sgeo)
    • Wikitures (JacketFan)
    • CWiki (JacketFan) (pronounced "quicky") Rejected due to possible confusion with http://www.creatureworld.net
    • Crea-Wi (JacketFan)
    • Kiwi (flip8) A lot of people seemed to be in favor of this one...
    • KriWi (LilWashu)
    • The Creatures Wiki, So-Named Because None of the Other Names Worked (JacketFan)
    • Borrovan (LilWashu)
    • Fart Nugget (JacketFan)
    • Creatures computer game series (Meer)
    • Creatures Series (Meer)
    • W-CAS (LilWashu) Stood for Wiki Creatures A-life Series
    • Wikreatures (LilWashu)
    • Boring Named Creatures Wiki Because Sgeo Wouldn't Accept Any Clever Names (JacketFan) (note: Sgeo didn't seem to like any of the suggested names, causing this one...)
    • The Creatures Encyclopaedia (GreenReaper)
    • Creaturepedia (Sgeo)
    • CeePee (GreenReaper)
