On March 12, 2019, an unofficial wiki page was created for OWOT by user happyworld392[1]. Dozens of pages have been created over the years, some dedicated to users and others dedicated to well-known landmarks within the main page. Empty or vague pages make up a significant portion of already existing pages.

Migration

The decision to migrate to a self-hosted MediaWiki instance was made on January 17, 2023 as a result of general dissatisfaction with Fandom among the Our World of Text administrators and its community. The migration was also made shortly after user JunoTehPlanet made a Wikipedia article on OWOT.[2]
