Interesting Facts

 * Creatures Wiki has spawned a nation over at NationStates called The Dictatorship of Creatures Wiki. While civil rights and the economy are very strong there, there are few political freedoms.
 * The site was requested at www.wikicities.com on the 28th of December 2004. Request was accepted the next day, but Sgeo was offline that whole day. On the 30th, it was announced on JRChat
 * Sgeo only started the site. GreenReaper made a lot of its content.
 * ''But it would be nice if others made even more! :-) GreenReaper


 * Sgeo asked on JRChat (on the 28th, after requesting the wiki) what the title should be. The title, however, was never set according to that. The title was already Creatures Wiki when Sgeo launched the site on the 30th. Suggested titles:
 * WikiCreatures (Sgeo)
 * Wiki Creatures (Sgeo)
 * Wikicreatures (Sgeo)
 * Wikitures (JacketFan)
 * CWiki (JacketFan) (pronounced "quicky") - rejected due to possible confusion with http://www.creatureworld.net, although it has had some use in Sine
 * Crea-Wi (JacketFan)
 * Kiwi (flip8) A lot of people seemed to be in favor of this one...
 * KriWi (LilWashu)
 * The Creatures Wiki, So-Named Because None of the Other Names Worked (JacketFan)
 * Borrovan (LilWashu)
 * Fart Nugget (JacketFan)
 * Creatures computer game series (Meer)
 * Creatures Series (Meer)
 * W-CAS (LilWashu) Stood for Wiki Creatures A-life Series
 * Wikreatures (LilWashu)
 * Boring Named Creatures Wiki Because Sgeo Wouldn't Accept Any Clever Names (JacketFan) (note: Sgeo didn't seem to like any of the suggested names, causing this one...)
 * The Creatures Encyclopaedia (GreenReaper)
 * Creaturepedia (Sgeo)
 * CeePee (GreenReaper)
