White Wolf:Wikia tour/About us
From the White Wolf Wiki, the most complete White Wolf reference
- This page is part of the Wikia tour.
The content below is from About on this wiki. This page is all about us, and why we're doing what we're doing.
The WWWiki is a free White Wolf reference website that is being written collaboratively by the readers. Our goal is to become the largest, most reliable, and most up-to-date encyclopedia about everything related to the many White Wolf universes.
WWWiki is a WikiWiki, meaning that any fan may edit any article by clicking on the edit this page link that appears in every wiki article that is not designated as a protected page. This makes it very easy for any fan to share their knowledge and insight of the White Wolf universes and add to the collected information available.
The project was started in May 2005 by IanWatson. It was inspired by Memory Alpha, a free, open source Star Trek encyclopedia, and by the interest of many White Wolf fans in a website that provides timely and useful reference information on the White Wolf paradigm. There are 4,436 articles that are being worked on.
