Creatures Wiki

The resource you're currently using (unless someone forked the wiki :-).

Summary of Content

History of Website

Some of you may already have heard of Wikipedia, the free online wiki encyclopedia which has now added a new section on Creatures here. I wonder if we'll all ever get wiki'd?
  • 11 July 2004: Laura has an idea which leads to the development of Encyclopedia Creaturica, still ongoing by the end of the year
  • 28 December 2004: Sgeo asked on JRChat about the idea of a Wiki for Creatures
  • 30 December 2004: The Creatures Wiki is launched
  • 10 February 2005: Over 100,000 words have been written at the Creatures Wiki
  • 2 March 2005: Gameware mention the Creatures Wiki in their studio diary
  • 28 March 2005: The Creatures Wiki is mentioned in the Wall Street Journal Online
  • 28 April 2005: Steve Grand praises the Creatures Wiki in his weblog
  • 13 May 2005: The wiki's 10000th edit is made, with 1500 pages containing an internal link
  • 21 August 2005: The 2000 page mark is reached with the addition of Random

Interesting Facts

  • Creatures Wiki has spawned a nation over at NationStates called The Dictatorship of Creatures Wiki. While civil rights and the economy are very strong there, there are few political freedoms.
  • The site was requested at www.wikicities.com on 12/28/04. Request was accepted 12/29, but Sgeo was offline that whole day. 12/30 it was announced on JRChat
  • 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, although it has had some use in Sine
    • 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)
