Creeperopolis and several other LCN members, including [[Calamari]], Greater Sacramento, [[Willdavie (politician)|Willdavie]], and Terranihil, joined IIWiki's Discord server to appeal the ban. The appeal escalated into spam, with LCNers repeatedly posting "server coup" surounded by crab emojis and "Terraconserva Frog Front". The IIWiki moderators initially tolerated the spam; however, after Terranihil posted an image of an old white man with a submachine gun on a bicycle chasing down a tribal African child, the moderators banned most LCNers from their server.

After the dispute with IIWiki, many LCNers became discontent with IIWiki. Greater Sacramento stated that the LCN should have its own wiki. Most people did not show immediate interest. Terranihil initially dismissed the idea as unrealistic. However, after talking more with Greater Sacramento, Terranihil decided a private wiki for the LCN was a good idea. Progression with the project was delayed for a time because Greater Sacramento was seemingly scammed by his computer provider. Greater Sacremento then sent a request to the [[Consulate of the Republic|Consulate]] to form a new private institution called The LCN Wiki Organization (LCNWO), with Greater Sacramento and Terranihil each owning half of the organization. Approval of the institution was delayed for some time, but it was approved around early March. Quebecshire offered to help pay for server hosting the wiki in exchange for partial ownership of the organization; Greater Sacramento and Terranihil agreed.

LCN Wiki is an online encyclopedia created and maintained as an open collaboration project by a community of editors using a wiki-based editing system. It is the largest and most popular general reference work in The League (TL). It features exclusively free content and no commercial ads and is owned by The LCN Wiki Organization (LCNWO), composed of Quebecshire and Terranihil. LCN Wiki was launched on 12 March 2020. It hosts the Terraconserva Roleplay and documents information about The League.

History

Background

Members of the LCN spamming "Assomble" since Creeperopolis cannot spell.

Before the creation of LCN Wiki, the Terraconserva Roleplay used IIWiki. Most role-players were content with IIWiki, until the IIWiki dispute on 25 January 2020. The moderators temporarily banned Creeperopolis for allegedly plagiarizing from Wikipedia to create the Morovan Airlines Cargo Flight 39 page.[citation needed]

Creeperopolis and several other LCN members, including Calamari, Greater Sacramento, Willdavie, Lyoa and Terranihil, joined IIWiki's Discord server to appeal the ban. The appeal escalated into spam, with LCNers repeatedly posting "server coup" surounded by crab emojis, "Terraconserva Frog Front", and Assomble. The IIWiki moderators decided to ban most LCNers from their server.

Founding of the company

After the dispute, many LCNers became discontent with IIWiki. Greater Sacramento stated that the LCN should have its own wiki. Most people did not show immediate interest. Terranihil initially dismissed the idea as unrealistic. However, after talking more with Greater Sacramento, Terranihil decided a private wiki for the LCN was a good idea. Progression with the project was delayed for a time because Greater Sacramento was seemingly scammed by his computer provider. Greater Sacremento then sent a request to the Consulate to form a new private institution called The LCN Wiki Organization (LCNWO), with Greater Sacramento and Terranihil each owning half of the organization. Approval of the institution was delayed for some time, but it was approved around early March. Quebecshire offered to help pay for server hosting the wiki in exchange for partial ownership of the organization; Greater Sacramento and Terranihil agreed.

Setting up the wiki

Greater Sacramento initally handled most of the coding and installation of the wiki and successfully set up the website. Terranihil handled setting up the website domain and certifying the website. Trouble arose with certification and a coding error led to the server failing. Terranihil spent several days attempting to fix the error. Greater Sacramento noticed that several unknown IPs were entering the site, which were traced back to other countries such as China and Israel. Eventually, Terranihil fixed the coding issue and certified the website.

  2. The LCN Wiki Organization has complete authority to allow or remove content on the LCN Wiki, as long as it is in accordance with CRL 14.
  3. Only approved users may make edits. Accounts that have not been approved by The LCN Wiki Organization will be blocked.
  4. Vandalism, defined as action involving deliberate destruction of or damage to the wiki and its pages, is not allowed. This includes vandalism intended as a joke.
