Hello! I am the current owner of this wiki. I live stream on [https://www.twitch.tv/hoshcof Twitch] and archive my live streams on [https://www.youtube.com/hoshcof 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.
Hello! I am the current head admin of this wiki. I live stream on [https://www.twitch.tv/hoshcof Twitch] and archive my live streams on [https://www.youtube.com/hoshcof YouTube].

=== The Wiki's Previous Owners ===
=== The Wiki's Previous Admins ===
This wiki was founded on April 21, 2008 by [[User:TheMG|TheMG]], also known as MarioGalaxy2433g5. After [[User:TheMG|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 [[User:Bommercannyboskov|Bommercannyboskov]] (quite a mouthful of a username if you ask me haha) and a user named [[User:TacticalMaster|Tactical Master]] started making edits to the wiki<sup><ref>https://chibirobo.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Bommercannyboskov?dir=prev&target=Bommercannyboskov Bommercannyboskov's edit history</ref><ref>https://chibirobo.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/TacticalMaster?dir=prev&target=TacticalMaster Tactical Master's edit history</ref></sup>. [[User:Bommercannyboskov|Bommercannyboskov]] was granted ownership or at least Bureaucratic privileges at some point and was a really good owner from what I can tell. [[User:TacticalMaster|Tactical Master]] made a lot of good edits too around this time. [[User:Bommercannyboskov|Bommercannyboskov]] noticed Tactical Master's good work and made Tactical Master an Admin right before Bommercannyboskov went on hiatus or something like that<sup><ref>https://chibirobo.fandom.com/wiki/Thread:3343 A discussion between [[User:Bommercannyboskov|Bommercannyboskov]] and [[User:TacticalMaster|Tactical Master]]</ref></sup>. Bommercannyboskov edited every now and then over the years but not super consistently, same as Tactical Master.

=== How I Got Here ===
=== 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<sup><ref>https://chibirobo.fandom.com/wiki/Thread:2888 My first message to Bommercannyboskov</ref><ref>https://chibirobo.fandom.com/wiki/Thread:2891 My conversation with Bommercannyboskov</ref></sup>. 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<sup><ref>https://chibirobo.fandom.com/wiki/Thread:3384 Message from Fandom staff member</ref></sup>, 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 [https://discord.com/invite/ND7yP2 Chibi-Robo Discord server] and the [https://www.reddit.com/r/ChibiRobo/ 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!
