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)
