History[]
2006[]
Founding[]
On January 23, 2006, Wikisein (notice the capitalization) was formed by Gimli. He made 62 edits until July 5, many of which were creating pages.
Mid-2006-2011[]
Inactivity[]
After Gimli left, the other users left too. For the next few years, the Wiki remained inactive, with many pages added by passersby and some semi-active users.
2011[]
New Bureaucrat[]
On April 12, 2011 Wendy gave DaRanger bureaucratic rights, as per an adoption request. Here, he made a background, and implemented badges on the Wiki. He also changed the Wiki name from Wikisein to WikiSein. Fandyllic also made a wordmark for WikiSein and wiki logo.
A Staff's Help[]
On April 30, Ohmyn0 (Trevor), a Wikia Staff member offered to help the project. Here, he made a color scheme for the wiki, which improved many pages and templates. He however left with some plans not completed, but were later finished by users.
Admins[]
During his brief absence, DaRanger granted admin rights to active users Frantik! and MrAwesome300. After his return, they kept their admin rights.
Spotlight[]
On August 30, WikiSein was approved for a Wikia spotlight to bring users in to the Wiki. The Spotlight ran, but was not shown very often, disappointing the users, and barely brought in any users.
Twitter[]
On September 19, WikiSein grew into Twitter. We can be followed @WikiSein.
Inactivity[]
During late 2011, WikiSein went inactive, but was revived by Staff member Christian in late December. He stayed for a while after making some aesthetic changes. Inactive admins Frantik! and MrAwesome300 were demoted.
2012[]
Anti-SOPA[]
On January 18, to oppose SOPA, WikiSein, along with other websites, including Wikipedia, used javascript to redirect the wiki to the anti-SOPA petition.
New Admin[]
On February 14, 2012, HOMR123 is promoted to administrator for his continuing work on the wiki.
