Wikia Highlights

Featured Wikia

The Star Wars Wikia, known as Wookieepedia, is an online encyclopedia devoted to collecting information from the Star Wars films, novels, comics, video games, animated series, and more.

The site launched in March 2005 and has grown to over 42,000 articles and includes versions in many other languages.

The Star Wars Wikia has a massive community and several community projects, including the Improvement drive, and the Wookieepedian of the Month. Both film and expanded universe information is welcome, and articles are generally written from an "in-universe" point-of-view.

Collaboration of the month

Collaboration of the month is a initiative to encourage edits to help new or quiet Wikia to make improvements. 

The Genealogy Wikia is designed for everyone to enter their ancestry and great-aunts, etc, and eventually link everybody. It has over 4,000 articles and a few thousand categories. It is attracting several enthusiasts with quite a range of pedigree lengths(!) and of computer skills.

What we really need help with is the development of features needed to improve functionality: features "critically" needed that require expertise with the development of extensions to the underlying program.

If you have knowledge of PHP and developing extensions, please read on...
