" My new project is a Cyberdog Wiki which will log the cyberdog server's worlds, builds, bases and more" 20.png William278, announcing the project

The Dogcraft Wiki is an official project to create a comprehensive source of information for everything about the Dogcraft Server, website and community of ReNDoG, that can be edited by all Cyberdogs. Founded as a Wikia page in June of 2018 by prominent community member and player 20.png William278, the project was met with a positive response. By September of 2019, the Wiki was made an official service on Dogcraft.net and continues to grow.

History

Initially hosted as a Wikia site (later renamed to FANDOM), the project was launched on the 30th of June, 2018 in a discord for the Survival Railway Network by player 20.png William278 as a start of a push to document the history of the server. Before the launch of the Wiki Project, historical recording of Dogcraft was poor, being limited to the increasingly deprecated forums and information for new players on the site was outdated. These factors led to the idea to create an easily accessible and editable Wiki to record information. This would serve as a place to learn the history of the server and find information about it, fulfilling the needs of both new and veteran players.

The Wiki was quickly popular among builders of the SRN and spread to other members of the community. A discord was created to help organise editing efforts and William appointed SRN Conductor 20.png darparniox in February of 2019 to assist with administration. Near the middle of the year, the two drafted a plan to make the Dogcraft Wiki official and submitted it to the Head Moderators. The plan was approved and on the 6th of September, 2019, the wiki was migrated from the FANDOM site to the Dogcraft.net website and was made an official service of the site. In October of 2019, 20.png Domino_1 was also made a Wiki Administrator to assist with the transition and continue to curate high-quality Wiki articles. To mark the end of the year and the start of 2020, a special reflections event was held to get players to write articles.

In March of 2020, the Dogcraft.net website underwent an overhaul and following consultation between site and Wiki Administration, the current site and wiki were changed to be much more closely integrated. For instance, Wiki and Website accounts were merged to make it easier for Cyberdogs to edit the project and a search bar was added on the main page, with further improvements made in the website's December 2020 refresh.

One of the key pillars of the project has been the ability for anyone to edit...
