User:Hoshcof: Difference between revisions

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.

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) and a user named [[User:TacticalMaster|Tactical Master]] started making edits to the wiki. [[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. 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. Bommercannyboskov edited every now and then over the years but not super consistently, same as Tactical Master.

Back in 2015 I went looking online for some bit of Chibi-Robo trivia and came across this wiki, founded by [[User:TheMG|TheMG]]. The wiki not only lacked info on the piece of information I was looking for, but looked awful and was poorly organized. Apparently, TheMG abandoned the wiki at some point and adopted by [[User:Bommercannyboskov|Bommercannyboskov]]. I helped a little bit here and there, but it wasn't enough to make an impact. I came back to the wiki in 2019, and realized that if I wanted to get this place cleaned up and looking good that I would need some more user rights to so 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. He agreed that the wiki was in a bad state and granted me admin rights. Sometime in March of 2019 I requested to adopt the wiki, and the request was accepted by FANDOM in June, making me the new owner, but Bommercannyboskov still helps out every now and again.

I took it upon myself to rebuild it from the ground up, but I 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. 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!
