Wookieepedia Turns 10

We wanted to let you know about the 10-year anniversary of Wookieepedia, a chronicle of all-things “Star Wars” launched through Wikia, which was this past Wednesday, March 4. Designed as a Star Wars community aggregator, the wiki-style site features official and fan-generated content —blogs, in-depth Star Wars lore, exclusive images and videos.

The site has been wildly popular, and with this turning out to be “The Year of Star Wars,” Wikia is doing some really exciting things, including a Qwizards contest in conjunction with Lucasfilm at Star Wars Celebration (April 16-19).

At the event Wikia superfans will play a special live anniversary edition of Wikia’s Qwizards game show, testing their saga knowledge against Leland Chee, the Lucasfilm Story Group’s “Keeper of the Holocron.” I’d love to work with you on a story that looks at the 10-year history of Wookieepedia and reports on the multi-pronged approach Wikia has put in place to commemorate the event.

Wookieepedia currently boasts over 2000 contributors and over 117K pages of content, which sees continuous growth year over year. This year, Wikia will build on how it engages with Wookieepedia’s passionate fans through:

• The development of an interactive timeline that annotates important real world Star Wars moments against Wookieepedia moments; fans will be able to add points to this at any time

• “Predict the Madness,” Wikia’s predictive bracket counterpart to “This is Madness,” the StarWars.com character tournament. As of March 6, logged in Wikia users will be given a week to submit their own online bracket predicting the outcome of each matchup in the StarWars.com tournament. At the end of “This is Madness,” all of the submitted brackets will be compared against each other, and whoever has the best predictive skills will win the contest – with prizing provided by SMS Audio

• “Master the Madness” — a Star Wars Character Trivia Challenge – will also run March 26-April 1 as a part of this program

At this year’s Star Wars Celebration, Wikia will have a large footprint, including a presence on the show floor representing 12 Star Wars communities and close to 7 million Star Wars fans across multiple countries; support of the fan props/sets on display through the use of interactive museum plaque-style signage that pulls relevant info from the appropriate Wookieepedia article page; and hosting a special Star Wars Celebration edition of its Qwizards game show, attended by Leland Chee, the famous “Keeper of the Star Wars Holocron”

Wishing you Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust
