The Dogcraft Wiki is a project to create a comprehensive source of information for everything about the Dogcraft.net community and Minecraft server of ReNDoG.

The Dogcraft Wiki is the project to create a comprehensive source of information for everything about the Dogcraft Server, website and community of ReNDoG, that can be edited by all Cyberdogs, available as part of Dogcraft.net in the form of a wiki. Founded as a Wikia site in June of 2018 by prominent community member and player William278, the project was met with a positive response. By September of 2019, the wiki was made an official service on Dogcraft.net and continues to grow as it is edited by Cyberdogs.

History

The project was launched as the Cyberdog Wiki Project by player William278 on the 30 June 2018, as a wiki hosted on Wikia. It was announced in a Discord Server for the Survival Railway Network with the goal of documenting the history of the server. At the time, Dogcraft was amidst an identity shift away from being a forum-centric community, with web staff becoming increasingly inactive; the side effect of this being that historical information and site information was increasingly becoming outdated and at risk of being lost. These factors led to the idea to create an easily accessible and editable wiki to record information. This would serve as a place to learn the history of the server and find information about it, thereby fulfilling the needs of both new and veteran players.

The wiki was quickly popular among builders of the SRN and spread to other members of the community. A Discord was created to help organise editing efforts and William appointed SRN Conductor darparniox in February of 2019 to assist with administration. Near the middle of the year, the two drafted a plan to make the Dogcraft wiki official and submitted it to the Head Moderators. The plan was approved and on 6 September 2019, the wiki was migrated from the Wikia (now Fandom) site to the Dogcraft.net website and was made an official service of the site. In October of 2019, Domino_1 was also made a wiki administrator to assist with the transition and continue to curate high-quality wiki articles. To mark the end of the year and the start of 2020, a special reflections event was held to get players to write articles.

In March of 2020, the Dogcraft.net website underwent an overhaul and following consultation between site and wiki administration, the current site and wiki were changed to be much more closely integrated. For instance, wiki and website accounts were merged to make it easier for Cyberdogs to edit the project and a search bar was added on the main page, with further improvements made, particularly to the account system, in the website's December 2020 refresh.
