There's probably MUCH more to say than I've said, but hopefully this'll be a decent groundwork for someone with more knowledge to expand. |

History
The idea for RayWiki was initially posited in December 2007 by administrator Hunchman801 as a replacement to his RaymanEnyclo facility.[1]. The idea was met with encouragement, leading to a beta version of the Wiki opening in January 2008, under the name WikiRayman, with individual English and French wikis. Content from the old RaymanEncyclo was brought in to the new Wiki, in addition to new content written by Pirate Community users, who were now able to contribute to a Rayman encyclopaedic resource.
In February 2008, the name of the Wiki was changed to RayWiki, after a vote was made in favour of the new title[2][3]. The Wiki continued to function as a beta until October 2008, where it was announced it was moving out of beta and into final release[4][5].
A German version of RayWiki was added on March 12th 2009, and a Hungarian version on June 22nd 2011.
As of May 2014, RayWiki contains more than 2,294 articles in four languages. The English version is the most complete, with more than 1,331 articles.
