Yep, even this wiki has a page about itself. Cue Inception reference.

This very wiki.

The RetroMC Wiki documents various facets of its namesake, such as the villages/towns that exist on here, its inner workings, guides for readers to peruse through, and lore.

History

ℹ️ Notice: This section is W.I.P, and details are missing.

Fandom wiki (2021)

On May 15th, 2021, 16.png JohnyMuffin made an announcement in #announcements in the RetroMC Discord server where he would announce that that he had created a wiki for RetroMC, which would be hosted on Fandom. However, the RetroMC Fandom Wiki was largely inactive for most of its existence until on July 29th, 2022, when it would get deleted by Fandom, and so for 9 months there wouldn't be another RetroMC wiki until May 7th, 2023.

Re-inception on MediaWiki (2023 onwards)

16.png Ade1ie asking 16.png notsui to make a wiki in January 2023.


In a seecret staff channel on May 7th, 2023, 16.png notsui opened the wiki to staff members, with 16.png CruxyMC as administrator.
Soon, 16.png Noggisoggi created an account on there and made his first edits:

Early in the wiki's lifespan, there were barely any external extensions, image uploads were not enabled, and custom templates weren't created (including infoboxes).


On June 26th 2023, the wiki was opened to the public.
