What? Why?The Super Mario Wiki was created on August 12th, 2005, 13:47 EDT. On August 12th, 2006, this wiki was off to a good start, but still there was only a small amount of active users. On Saturday August 11th, 2007 with a userbase finally forming, we celebrated our wiki's existence with an awards show on 30 of our favorite Mario topics, including favorite games, music, items, series, moments, enemies, and more. Last year, we expanded this magnificent event by including much of our userbase with Userpedia Awards I, and on August 8th, 2008, it turned out to be an even bigger success. And you've bet we've grown some more since then – we reached an astounding 9 digits in the page view count (100,000,000!) and increased that total number, accomplished in almost 3.5 years, by 10% in just two months (110,000,000 and rising!). As such, the time has come again to plan another big event to celebrate the wiki – and hopefully bigger! Awards CommitteeAs veterans may have come here to do, it's time – Awards Committee sign-up! This is the only sign-up right now. What the committee decides over the next 10-12 weeks will influence what other sign-ups will come in June, but we will have exact dates of things for you well in advance, so watch this page to keep track of announcements. There are a few minimal requirements to be an AC member this year:
Mainly, the AC decides what awards will be voted on in June. However, there are important matters as well, see below the sign-up list. Sign-UpAnd now...the list! There is no limit to how many, but in my experience we never get past 20. :P Use ~~~ or {{user}} and state your chat and/or forum names if they are different from your username here.
Userpedia Awards and Game TournamentsVery sadly, the wiki farm Scribblewiki did not back up their servers properly – a big no-no in online business. When the warehouse where their servers were caught fire, their backups did not function properly, and they were forced to completely shut down in shame. Nothing could be recovered, and it left everyone irate. Userpedia, thriving still at the time, went to nothing. Since, after several wiki farm experiments failed, Userpedia has found a new home, but many users have been lost in the hopping from sucky farm to suckier farm. It is currently here, and relatively active, but it is nowhere close to where it was a year ago. Game tournaments was something that we hoped to materialize last year, particularly in Brawl, but it didn't pan out. But with each year, we grow, get more people, and do better...however... Neither Userpedia Awards II nor game tournaments are a guarantee for Mario Awards III. The Awards Committee will decide the inclusion or exclusion of these functions.
