We can rebuild the wiki!

Hello! I am the current owner 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. "Ownership" of the wiki, at least in my opinion, is defined by whomever has Bureaucratic privileges, even though more than one user can have Bureaucratic privileges.

The Wiki's Previous Owners

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 still technically owned it, despite being inactive for 2+ years. In January 2014, a user by the name of Bommercannyboskov (quite a mouthful of a username if you ask me haha) and a user named Tactical Master started making edits to the wiki[1][2]. Bommercannyboskov was granted ownership or at least Bureaucratic privileges at some point and was a really good owner 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 granted ownership or given Bureaucratic privileges or whatever you want to say. And that brings us up to today, really. requested to adopt the wiki, and the request was accepted by FANDOM in June[6], making me the new owner, 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.
