The Creatures Wiki is a cooperative attempt to record information of use to the Creatures Community. Yes, that's a broad statement! If it's related in any way to the Creatures series, chances are it's worth mentioning on the Wiki. There are 5,962 pages right now, but we could always do with more! You can make that happen.

Requests

Please remember the following things as you work to improve the wiki:

No personal attacks

One thing - there has often been and probably always will be conflict between people and groups within the community. It would be nice if these conflicts did not spread to here. Please do not use the Wiki as a platform for your personal disagreements. If you think something you type is likely to be taken as a personal attack, or derogatory to another person in the community, please consider whether you could phrase it in a more neutral way. If in doubt as to how to do this, ask one of the administrators how to word it, or even to add it in for you.

Keep it appropriate

Remember the rating, or Pai Gon will thwap you with her starry wand of pain!

In addition, please remember that this is a site about a game intended for children, and we are very likely to have 8, 9 or 10-year-olds surfing around the wiki. Write appropriately!

With regard to the future and the things it holds

Finally, when posting information relating to future projects and mysterious secret happenings, keep in mind: "Do I have anything to offer to readers of the wiki besides secrecy or general lack of information?" Often, if you're trying to keep something secret or have not decided much about your project, it is likely better to wait until it isn't secret anymore or until you have something to show the general public before posting it on here. This will prevent the wiki from ending up with a collection of dead pages about projects that were started but never saw the light.

Thank you for reading. :-)

Statistics

There are several forms of statistics that can be viewed if you're interested:

  • The wikistats give a good idea of how we're doing, both singly and compared to other wikicities
  • Google Analytics is used to monitor sitewide web usage patterns, and gives a variety of information on how users get to the wiki, where they go, and much much more. Please contact GreenReaper if you want access to these (you need to get a GMail or other google account first).
  • The web usage statistics used to give good information on what pages people are going to, and where they're coming from - useful for knowing who has linked to the wiki and how much it is being used. Unfortunately, they're now disabled.
  • The Alexa stats give another idea of how the site is being used, although the ranking covers the whole of wikicities.

Creatures Wiki also scores a 5 on the Google PageRank calculator - pretty nifty for a fan site!
