PokéWiki is a German language wiki that, like Bulbapedia, is a community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
History
PokéWiki is, like the other members of Encyclopaediae Pokémonis, an extension of a parent site, in this case, Filb.de. Since shortly after the initial development of Bulbapedia, various members of the FilbBoard proposed that there be a German-language version as well. Eventually, enough support came together to begin work on what would become PokéWiki itself in August of 2005.
Shortly after its inception, PokéWiki and Bulbapedia joined forces as the founding members of Encyclopaediae Pokémonis.
Like Bulbapedia finds a sort of mascot in Bulbasaur, with its logo being that of Bulbasaur's bulb with a Poké Ball on it, PokéWiki finds its mascot in a green Pikachu aptly known as Greenchu.
Server seizure
In late August of 2008, PokéWiki and its parent site, Filb.de, had their server seized. Upon this, PokéWiki put up a notice explaining the situation. This is an excerpt of the notice left up:
As you might know, not only Filb.de and PokéWiki are operated on our server. Due to the high cost of a "root server", we have been sharing the server with a few other people. Because of the actions of one of those people, the complete server was recently seized.
This has expressly nothing to do with Filb.de or PokéWiki! [...]
By September 6th, 2008, PokéWiki was partially restored using an old backup, with registration and editing locked. This notice appeared upon partial restoration:
Warning: This is an outdated and read-only version of PokéWiki.
All articles are from a backup dated to March 8th, 2008 because we still haven't got the data of the seized server back. You'll find more information about that here.
For consistency reasons, editing of articles is currently locked. As soon as we get the data of July back, you will again be able to find and write about the latest information. Until then we're asking for your patience and thank you for understanding. Your PokéWiki-Team
As of April, 2009, PokéWiki is still not fully restored, but it is set to re-open soon:
Demnächst wird das PokéWiki neueröffnet werden. Bitte habt noch ein wenig Geduld!
PokéWiki will re-open soon. Please be patient just a little longer!
