history

adoption

On 18 September 2010, Worms Wiki was adopted by Koenachtig, who was given administrative and bureaucratic privileges. On the next day, he promoted Orangitu to administrative status, and since then, the wiki has now reached over 200 unique articles.

the abandoning

On November 1st, 2013, when it reached its 307th article, it was abandoned by its administrators, now only 3 people are editing this wiki. No one seems to care about it anymore, but one day, people will come again...

Theme

The first logo of Worms Wiki was made by Orangitu. It was added on 20 September 2010. After 2 days, Orangitu added a custom artwork for the background that was made by a user named NitrousOxideSystem on DeviantArt.

During October, most wikis on Wikia switched to a new skin that required it's logo (wordmark) and background to be renewed. The logo and background was added on 9 October 2010 by Orangitu. The background was probably cropped and edited from the cover of Worms 2: Armageddon, which is the latest game before its extended edition, Worms: Reloaded.

On September 29th, 2012, the wiki's "cropped boxshot" background was replaced with the encircled W background. This was done by Orangitu, and his reasoning was that he thinks the old background was distracting, and was an eyesore.
