Hello! I am the current head admin of this wiki. I live stream on Twitch and archive my live streams on YouTube. I've written a brief history of the wiki below. Most of this history is what I have learned from reading edit logs, user pages, etc. and since I wasn't there, this is mostly speculation.
The Wiki's Previous Admins
This wiki was founded on April 21, 2008 by TheMG, also known as MarioGalaxy2433g5. After TheMG abandoned the wiki in June 2012, I guess it was just sort of vacant for a while? A few users came and added stuff, but TheMG was still the head admin, despite being inactive for 2+ years. In January 2014, a user by the name of Bommercannyboskov and a user named Tactical Master started making edits to the wiki[1][2]. Bommercannyboskov was granted admin or at least Bureaucratic privileges at some point and was a really good head admin from what I can tell. Tactical Master made a lot of good edits too around this time. Bommercannyboskov noticed Tactical Master's good work and made Tactical Master an admin right before Bommercannyboskov went on hiatus or something like that[3]. Bommercannyboskov edited every now and then over the years but not super consistently, same as Tactical Master.
How I Got Here
Back in 2015 I went looking online for some bit of Chibi-Robo trivia and came across this wiki. The wiki not only lacked the information I was looking for, but the site also looked awful and was poorly organized. I did my best to help a little bit here and there, but it wasn't enough to make an impact. I realized that if I wanted to get this place cleaned up and looking good that I would need some more than basic user rights so that I could move and delete pages. I talked with Bommercannyboskov about how I wanted to help the wiki and rebuild it from it's terrible state, and what I'd need to get it done[4][5]. They emailed me and agreed that the wiki was in a bad state and granted me admin rights. Sometime in March of 2019 I sent a request to FANDOM or Wikia or whatever they are called to adopt it and was given Bureaucratic privileges. I requested to adopt the wiki, and the request was accepted by FANDOM in June[6], making me the new admin, but Bommercannyboskov still helps out every now and again.
I took it upon myself to rebuild this wiki from the ground up, but I have had a lot of help from the amazing people on the Chibi-Robo Discord server and the Chibi-Robo subreddit. Please feel free to add any info you may have to the wiki. Every single edit helps us get closer to having a complete, comprehensive encyclopedia for the Chibi-Robo! series. I want everyone to be able to learn about Chibi-Robo!
Spread the happiness.
