"A while ago, there was a concept of server-side scripting on OWOT. it would allow you to create a script that allows you to have more control of the world on the server-side.
One would write a script written in a custom language and submit it to the world to be run 24/7 on the server."
— FP in 2021
Worlds with functionalities that are not found on regular OWOT pages(Ex. an augmented interface.) These features are usually achieved by having scripts that are embedded into the pages' code, and run by default without needing to be activated manually.
Generally speaking, these worlds can only be created by—or with the aid of—FP himself.
The scripts used in these worlds are stored under the https://ourworldoftext.com/static/files/[file name] URL[1].
Worlds by FP
As OWOT's head admin, FP is the only one with the authorization to create special pages.
/wottt
/wottt was created in June of 2022.
Each tile in the world facilitates a game of Tic-tac-toe, which can be reset once the game is finished.
A tile located at the edge of /wottt features a slot next to each of its sides that face open space. If a user types in these slots then a block of new tiles are generated in that direction.
Historically, the world has been expanded both manually and using scripts, with scripted expansions forming cleaner structures, while expansions by users create irregular shapes in the wider body of /wottt.
Unlike other worlds on this page, /wottt does not contain a https://ourworldoftext.com/static/files/[file name] URL in its code. It runs on a server-side script whose source code is not available to the public.

Worlds by Poopman
As one of OWOT's OG members and one of its most notable scripters, Poopman has created a number of special worlds.
The following pages all contain scripts that modify the site's UI along with its functionality. These scripts were then set by FP to autorun whenever a user enters the page.
/Halloween23 and /Thanksgiving23
Two worlds that also contain background images.
The cursor color blends into the background and is seemingly replaced by a random festive emoji, which hovers near it at all times. Users can reveal their cursor by clicking a checkbox at the top left of the screen.
In /thanksgiving23, leaves can also be seen falling down the screen. The script that facilitates this is stored on site at /static/files/thanksgiving23_v1.js.
/Halloween23 also has a script at /static/files/halloween-v1.js.

/tileAnimator
/tileAnimator is a world that allows users to make animations out of text. The script for this world is stored at /static/files/immta01.js.

/ms-paint
/ms-paint is a world that more or less replicates a painting software. The script for this world is stored at /static/files/paint_1699.js.
Worlds by InfraRaven
The following worlds are InfraRaven's experiments with XSS.
Special features are enabled upon opening chat.
/toast
/toast is a world with a background image.
Opening chat enables a squeaking sound effect that plays every time you click on the canvas.
This world's chat showcases a feature where admins can embed files in chat messages. It also contains a button that users can click to activate a browser pony script.
/spacejunk
Opening chat in /spacejunk automatically runs Poopman's Space Fighters script, which allows users to control unicode spaceships and shoot bullets at one another.
The script no longer seems to function properly as of 2024. A soundtrack will play and UI elements will still appear, but the game itself will not start.
/cat
/cat is not to be confused with /cats, which is feature further down on this page.
Clicking the chat button opens a parallel chatbox in the bottom right corner of the screen, where users can chat with an exasperated cat on "Adult Cat Finder".
The script for this can be found here.
/WOTDguessr
/wotdguessr is a world created by AndreiXYZ(along with a team of collaborators) in 2023. It is a quiz featuring all 116 WoTDs that have been chosen at the time of its creation.
The script for this world is stored at /static/files/wotdguessr_helper.js?v=2, and gives you a space to submit answers all while creating a scoreboard at the top of the screen.
Technically speaking you do have to activate the script by clicking "PLAY." However doing so runs it automatically, and does not present you with a confirmation menu like normal scripts.

/impossibleway
/impossibleway is a platforming challenge created by e_g. It runs on a physics cursor script which is active by default, after e_g. requested FP to make it so. The script for /impossibleway is stored on the site at /static/files/impossible-v1.js.
/cats
/cats is a world created by Fern which features a pixelated cat that follows your mouse.
The cat was taken from a GitHub script, which was added to the world by FP on February 2nd, 2024.
The files for this world are /static/files/oneko.gif and /static/files/oneko_script.js.
