<b>Category: Brickimedia</b> — Brickimedia was an open project to create the largest LEGO fan-network on the internet. The {{tag|dead|former}} Brickimedia website, found at <tt>[[Archive.org:20130402135706/http://www.Brickimedia.org/|www.Brickimedia.org]]</tt>, was a [[wiki family]], previously hosting a small number of [[What is a Wiki|wiki-sites]] about {{tag|LEGO}}s. It started with an English-language [[Brickipedia]] wiki-site (<tt>En.Brickimedia.org</tt>), along with a 'meta' wiki (<tt>Meta.Brickimedia.org</tt>), a 'customs' type of wiki (<tt>Customs.Brickimedia.org</tt>) for media uploads, a [[Lego Message Boards Wiki]] (<tt>LMBW.Brickimedia.org</tt>), and a [[LEGO Stories Wiki]] (<tt>[[Archive.org:20130402135638/http://Stories.Brickimedia.org/wiki/LEGO_Stories_Wiki|Stories.Brickimedia.org]]</tt>). A Dutch-language Brickipedia wiki-site subsequently joined. | |||
The Brickimedia <u>website</u> (not the [[Brickipedia]] wiki-sites) was last active [[Archive.org:20161225040148/http://Brickimedia.org/|end of 2016]], following the Brickipedia wiki-sites' move to [[:Category:ShoutWiki|ShoutWiki]] hosting. | |||

<b>History</b> | |||
<br> The very first version of [[Brickipedia]] was created on 4 March [[:Category:Founded in 2005|2005]], hosted under a [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]] domain. At first, it was a very vague and unorganized landscape, but quickly started to attract contributors and LEGO fans of all ages from across the globe, to add information on their favourite themes and to talk about the hobby. Brickipedia's administration team underwent many changes in the eight years since its conception, and in January (2013), the current team decided that it woud be best for the community to move [[:Category:Ex-Wikia|off Wikia]], and onto its own domain, for the very first time. | |||
Joining with other popular LEGO wikis that were similarly moving, Brickipedia became Brickimedia, an open project to create a large LEGO fan-network for all ages. | |||
<b>Donate</b> | |||
<br> As a private organization, we rely upon [[:Category:Advertising|ad revenue]] and donations to keep the website running. Every cent counts, so even the smallest donations help us to make a better site and a more successful network. | |||
