Ratchetpedia is a wiki that functions as a community hub for the Ratchet & Clank series that anyone can edit. The aim of the site is to provide a community portal for fans of the Ratchet & Clank series by providing walkthroughs and basic articles about Ratchet & Clank, while linking to further Ratchet & Clank resources. The site was founded by Sove and UxieLover1994 on March 31, 2012.

The idea for Ratchetpedia came to UxieLover1994 around October 2011 while she was editing the now-defunct Spyropedia, and after several months of working with Sove — a friend of UxieLover1994 — the site finally came into existence.

History

Ratchetpedia was created by UxieLover1994 and Sove on March 31, 2012. It was originally intended to become an independent Ratchet & Clank encyclopedia, but after a partnership with the Ratchet & Clank wiki was created (ending several disputes) Ratchetpedia's role was changed to become a community hub, becoming a Ratchet & Clank resource site for fans. It was decided that Ratchetpedia would cover walkthroughs and other Ratchet & Clank resources, while producing simpler articles about key aspects of the series which linked to the Ratchet & Clank wiki for further information.

Communication

In addition to communicating on the community portal, discussion board and talk pages, the wiki has an IRC channel on freenode at #ratchetpedia (irc://irc.freenode.com/ratchetpedia). It also has a YouTube account: http://www.youtube.com/user/Ratchetpedia

-'''Ratchetpedia''' is an independent [[wikipedia:Wiki|Wiki]] focusing on the ''Ratchet & Clank'' video game series, developed by Insomniac Games (with the exeption of two games that were instead developed by High Impact Games). The site was founded by Sove and [[UxieLover1994]] on March 31, 2012. It is still a newborn wiki, and has yet to get it's own logo and banner, but it's mainpage is currently in the making. It's current goal is to get 1,000 articles "completed", as well as "perfect" it's templates and get it's own skin. It aims to become the best English source of ''Ratchet & Clank'' infomation in the world.

-The idea for Ratchetpedia came to UxieLover around October 2011 while she was working at the now-defunct [[Spyropedia]], and after several months, the site finally came to existance with the help of Sove, a friend of Uxie and a high member of [[Square Enix Independent Wiki Alliance|SEIWA]]. Today, Uxie works hard with Ratchetpedia, but due to being overshadowed by [[Ratchet & Clank wiki|the prideful Wikia counterpant]], very few people actually visit the site, and rarely does anyone even give out useful data of the series; as the leading admins of both wikis do not get along well, because of their different views (with Ratchetpedia following NIWA and the Ratchet Wiki following Wikia), the two sites share a bitter rival.

-*Ratchetpedia uses present tence, like most independent wikis. The Ratchet Wikia uses past tence, like most Sci-Fi wikias
-*Ratchetpedia uses it's own templates, with matirials borrowed from several NIWA and SEIWA wikis. The Ratchet Wikia uses Wikia's defult templates
-*Ratchetpedia's articles are strictly restricted to only those that need it. The Ratchet Wikia creates articles for even the most minor things (such as grass)
-*Voice actors have their own articles at the Ratchet Wikia. For Ratchetpedia, they instead link to [[Wikipedia]] (or [[Bulbapedia]]) for voice actors.
-*Character articles use their real names at the Ratchet Wiki (with the only exeption being XJ-0461, aka, Clank). Ratchetpedia instead goes by the name they are best known as.
-*Ratchetpedia has a strict spoiler policy, and it's admins will always check on pages to insure that it does not spoil much of the series. Ratchet Wikia's articles tend to actually spoil the games in their articles. Some wikis criticized their "poorly-written" articles as a result.
-*Due to all this, SCIWA ranks Ratchetpedia as "fair"; while the Ratchet Wiki is ranked as "unfair"
-Ratchetpedia tends to use a style similar to that of both Spyropedia and the [[Kingdom Hearts Wiki]], but with it's own added content. It wishes to be unique, with it's own unique templates and skin. The site is a strong follower of the IWAs, and wishes to be a part of an IWA one day. The site will be very happy to affiliate with any wiki that's independent, but will always turn down a site that's part of a wikifarm (due to their ongoing feud with the Ratchet Wiki).

-According to UxieLover, Ratchetpedia is to help start the fourth IWA group following [[Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance|NIWA]], [[Square Enix Independent Wiki Alliance|SEIWA]] and [[Sci-fi Independent Wiki Alliance|SIWA]]; this one for Sony Computer Entertainment, currently known as SCIWA. ([http://ratchetpedia.net/wiki/User:UxieLover1994/SCIWA UxieLover's article on SCIWA on Ratchetpedia]) Ratchetpedia also is thinking of doing a partnership with Spyropedia, currently known as the [[Insomniac Alliance]] (IA), as both series were originally developed by Insomniac Games.
