Club Penguin Wiki:About

The Club Penguin Wiki aims to create a large database for all there is to know about the popular online game, Club Penguin. The wiki was founded on December 20, 2006 By V-Rex.

Webmaster Era (2007 - 2009)
After V-Rex quit the wiki, our wiki was governed by a webmaster system. Which means, led by two leaders (commonly known as Webmasters). During 2007 - 2009, TurtleShroom and Barkjon were the webmasters. In 2009, TurtleShroom resigned from his position and Barkjon was inactive. Due to that, two 2 new webmasters were appointed. They were Sharkbate and Hat Pop, in which they were webmasters for about 2 months only, as the system wasn't really successful.

Democratic Era (2009 - present)
After the webmaster system was seen unsuccessful, Tigernose and Seahorse started a campaign to get rid of the webmaster system, due to many reasons among them a little voice for the common users in the wiki. An official vote was conducted, causing the end of the system. After that, a new democratic system was declared, which means users have a voice in the community, like voting on new policies and other changes. Seahorse made a new policy system, which provides a summary of the rules and policies of the wiki. Admins were given there rules via the policy (votes and all) rightfully, rather than seen as a ruler. This caused the wiki to be more stable and the no. of edits had increased a lot. After votes, that part of the community finally moved off Wikia fully.

Events of 2010
During 2010, Wikia decided to change the skin rolling out to a skin called "Oasis". This skin was disliked by many users in the wiki, claiming it was limited and was mandatory. This caused the old community to move to another wiki, which is independent.

Events of 2011
During 2011, the editors in the wiki decreased due to some moving to the new wiki. As for that, many vandals took their move and vandalism where sometimes not reverted due to no admins present. But, soon after that an user called ShrimpPin, re-founded the wiki, as he got admins and bureaucrats rights. He promoted some admins along with them are Bman2007Jazz, Awesome335, also The Plush. They started cleaning up again, along with bringing some activities back to normal, although many pages were cleaned, these admins didn't continue fully, as most left to another wikis, some quit and some were inactive during September. This made it a hard job for the rollbacks who were present as no admin would helped them out. The wiki went through two months with really few users editing, while no admins were present. During November 2011, one of the inactive admins came back promoting two users two admins in order to help him, PenguinStorm300 and Sdgsgfs, as they also promoted some other admins among them, Happy65 and Penguin-Pal. They brought back many activities which were successful that time, along with cleaning like half of the wiki. During, December the wiki became full of editors and really became more active.

Events of 2012
By January of 2012, the wiki was cleaned up and rebuilt, but however still lacked information. Various new users joined, made their mark, and made this wiki better. Penguinstorm300 was demoted due to inactivity and users Mixer2301 and Dps04 were promoted admins in February and March respectively. The wiki improved day by day, but had quite a lot of problems in the chat etc. A new promotion titled the "Patroller" was installed and 3 users got the job. In mid 2012, a treaty was proposed between the both wikis, which resulted in a fight, which was later resolved. In Late 2012, the wiki faced various problems like sockpuppet issues, but was put to an end in December. The admin Happy65 quit followed by ShrimpPin, which resulted in Shurow (a returning user), Apj26 and Hey.youcp being promoted. By December, the wiki improved 4x than it was in the last year, and really became to it's highest peak and became how it was before 2010.

Events of 2013
The wiki had a massive growth and was ready to face 2013. Seahorseruler was promoted to an administrator as he is the selected ambassador from the new wiki and Cp kid (also from the new wiki) got a patroller promotion.
