It also aims to be a 'time capsule' of sorts, so that lesser-known characters, mediums, promotions, or anything to do with the company no matter how small or taken for granted, do not become too obscure; in fact a lot is possibly not even on the Internet (or at least the public Web in terms of a search engine like Google) yet (e.g. merchandise bar codes). As such, there are many short articles, but adequate character profiles are provided for each character. The wiki is ambitious and having created 1000 new articles in about six months after long periods of dormancy - it plans to eventually become a well-known resource; next aiming for 5000 articles, then to double the article count each next goal until detail is more important. Perhaps this can be achieved with lots of focus and new merchandise articles (or inviting other friends who have the time/motivation and are interested with a serious passion for Sanrio); a sub-area that wiki has barely started yet. | It also aims to be a 'time capsule' of sorts, so that lesser-known characters, mediums, promotions, or anything to do with the company no matter how small or taken for granted, do not become too obscure; in fact a lot is possibly not even on the Internet (or at least the public Web in terms of a search engine like Google) yet (e.g. merchandise bar codes).
