The Mega Man Maker Official Wiki is a wiki created by WreckingPrograms that gathers data about the video game Mega Man Maker and its community. The Wiki uses the MediaWiki code. The second version of the wiki was created by Goldstorm and Alex.

History

WreckingPrograms had shown interest in creating a wiki dedicated to Mega Man Maker. After fan support for the idea, the Mega Man Maker Official Wiki was opened by WreckingPrograms and added to the server on May 12, 2018.

To moderate the wiki, WreckingPrograms gave administrator powers to HoundBlue and MrKyurem.

To prevent the wiki from prioritizing streamers and YouTubers playing the game and to make the trivia more relevant to Mega Man Maker, WreckingPrograms established that streamers and YouTubers should be in the streamer namespace and that trivia should not be about obscure or unrelated things.

MrKyurem was demoted as a moderator on the wiki after he was demoted from the Mega Man Maker Official Server, while HoundBlue was demoted when he left the moderation team.

On July 9, 2019, WreckingPrograms opened public applications. Among the applicants, BigMaster, Justazag and ALUMOX were selected.

BigMaster worked with RollerC to update the Wiki policy and standardize the wiki. Roller would then leave the wiki moderation team on November 4, 2019 due to time constraints. While BigMaster amplified his scope in moderation, he resumed working on it.

Mad Man was promoted to wiki moderator on August 2, 2020.

Justazag was demoted as a moderator for the wiki on October 10, 2020 due to inactivity.

Uranus was promoted to wiki moderator on October 13, 2020 in a moderator call that is still ongoing.

BigMaster left the Wiki moderation team on October 28, 2020.

Midas Magnezone and Danikah were promoted to wiki moderator on January 26, 2021.

Due to continuous major spambot attacks, account creation was temporarily disabled from January 23, 2021 to May 17, 2021. It was briefly enabled on May 16, 2021, but closed momentarily and re-enabled the day after when a solution to the spambots was put in place.

Danikah left the wiki moderation team on May 21, 2021.

On July 6, 2021, the website along with the wiki and forums were lost due to a data issue. On July 11, 2021, the second version of the wiki was created while some team members were selected for the Wiki Strike Team to help with the creation and restoration of missing articles.
