Revision as of 19:12, 28 January 2010
Brickipedia, located at lego.wikia.com, is Wikia's largest LEGO wiki, which was founded on March 4, 2005. Brickipedia's goal is to provide a free online encyclopedia on LEGO. More than four years after it was established, Brickipedia has reached a size of 40,005 articles, and has had over 500 contributors (with 88 of them active ones).
As an encyclopedia about LEGO, Brickipedia's main focus is on the documentation of official LEGO products (such as sets, games and minifigures) and related subjects (themes, history etc.).
History
The first days of the LEGO wiki
When this wiki was first created, Brickipedia was obviously small. The only user was the first administrator, Darth smith. However, Darth smith left this wiki and other wikis alike, and has been inactive since October of 2007.
After that, roaming editors would make some edits (even 50 edits were alot, considering the amount of articles then). However, after a period of time, Bahnpirat was declared an administrator of this wiki due to there being no active administrators around, and led the comminuty in various projects until becoming relatively inactive later on. Soon after this, Nighthawk leader (who is still active) was elected to be a bureaucrat for the wiki, with MarioGalaxy2433g5 as an adminstrator (who has since relinquished his administrative rights due to commitments to other wikis). Kingcjc was elected adminstrator not long after this, and the wiki continued to grow. Cpatain Rex then joined the admin team some time after this.
More admins and users
Of course, more and more users edited this wiki. Two of whom started editing a year ago or less, they are now top admins! These users are LegOtaku and Ajraddatz. More users have become dedicated to this wiki, now having many active users at the moment.
We have also had users who are either admins or current users on other wikis. Some of our most dedicated users even come from other wikis, the most common being My LEGO Network wiki.
Policies
As what should be the case with all Wikia wikis, Brickipedia attempts to enforce any policies or rules that are in place, most notably on this wiki being that to have a registered account, you must be over 13 years of age.
Brickipedia today
Today, Brickipedia is a popular, well known website with users who strive to edit to show off their knowledge for LEGO. We even have articles based on sets from the next year coming!
We also have votes and forums on voting for different things, such as Brickipedian of the Month, Featured Article of the Month (which now has a new Review Board), and even Userbox proposals, so that you can spice up your userpage to look even better than before! You can also ask for items or pages to be deleted.
If you have any knowledge of LEGO, or even just want to help out on a wiki, come join us! We want to know how much you love LEGO ourselves.
