'''Wikigrounds''' is a wiki started by NG [[User:Fire]] and initially run by [[Forum:HELLO_PEOPLES|a Newgrounds user team from the previous wikiwikis]] to gather information about www.newgrounds.com. The wiki started in December of 2006, shortly after the old one hosted at www.o3studio.net closed down. Although it fell into a period of stagnation, it was kept afloat by [[User:Inclusivedisjunction|Inclusivedisjunction]] alone for two years and has been active again since November 2009.
This version of Wikigrounds still suffers some vandalism, but most pages are open to editing by all users, in the spirit of Wikipedia.
== Promotion and a new Beginning ==
The various editors decided to try and snowball attention and editing on this wiki to the point where it was self-sustaining. Previous attempts to do this on this and previous wikis were stymied by vandalism and apathy. It was decided in 2010 to make a [http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1144519/1|club thread] on Newgrounds, which all BBS post could direct to; an on-going series of monthly competitions; contact with [[Forum:Related_Wikis| other NG-related wikias]] and contact with [[Staff]]. Also, toThe tryteam examined the wiki from the point of view of the viewer and reachconcluded that there was too much editing beyondby people just writing pages about themselves etc. Theso the team focussedwrote onabout aspects of Newgrounds other than people and submissions, creating pages about the working and finance of NG, related websites, and pages about all the features, pages and awards etc. as well.
