History

2005
5 August
  • Staz moots the idea of collecting Stars! knowledge in a wiki at HWF[1]
2006
18 January
  • With the creation of gible.net, the first Stars!wiki goes live at http://www.gible.net/wiki/ . Kindly hosted by Papabear on an old machine and with his somewhat overloaded DSL connection. It is almost unusably slow but Staz and Gible begin data entry anyway.
24 April
  • Papabear moves and is unable to continue hosting at his new address. Stars!wiki is down until a new host can be found.
28 July
  • Yanni is now hosting. Stars!wiki is faster, responsive usable and even has it's own domain http://wiki.gible.net but the data from the old host is inaccessible.
06 November
  • Abandoning the old data, the new wiki is announced[2] and work begins afresh entering data into the new wiki. Staz quickly copies in the structure of Stars!FAQ, and Stars!wiki gradually becomes not only usable - but useful!
2008
06 February
  • The Stars!FAQ article database is finally copied to Stars!wiki.
10 February
  • After just over two years of Monobook, Stars!wiki gets it's first makeover, and now looks like a Stars! website.
2009
26 January
  • Stars!wiki has moved to a new (faster) machine and is now professionally housed at a co-location center.
