The Historical Hastings Website started as a mapping site - hence the 'HistoryMap' domain name, but grew into a wiki-based site used as a research tool. The mapping functionality is still retained in the site and is gradually being increased, with categorised sections (for example Farms, or Cinemas) incorporating maps showing features referenced within the site. Funding for the site is entirely voluntary and any funds raised via donations or advertisements shown on the site are utilised solely for hosting costs. The research and content is provided by a small team of volunteers, although all visitors are welcome to make corrections and add personal or family histories to existing pages without requiring an account.

The '''Historical Hastings''' website is for the {{tag|history}} of Hastings, Sussex, {{tag|England}}, in the [[:Category:United Kingdom|United Kingdom]] (UK).  It started as a {{tag|map}}ping site, hence the 'HistoryMap' domain name, but grew into a [[wiki]]-based site used as a {{tag|research}} tool. The mapping functionality is still retained in the site, and is gradually being increased, with categorised sections (for example {{tag|Agriculture|farm}}s, or {{tag|cinema}}s) incorporating maps showing features referenced within the site. Funding for the site is entirely voluntary, and any funds raised via donations or {{tag|Advertising|advertisements}} shown on the site are utilised solely for hosting costs. The research and content is provided by a small team of volunteers.  When the wiki was originally created, all visitors were welcome to make corrections and add {{tag|personal}} or {{tag|family}} histories to existing pages without requiring an account, (aka an [[:Category:OpenEdit|open edit]] wiki). However, as of January 2022, the wiki was changed to require all prospective [[editor]]s to [[request account]], thereby rendering the wiki site to {{tag|ByInvitation}}.
 
For a relatively new wiki site, it is {{tag|GreatFeature|great}} to see the [[popular pages]] facility retained by way of the {{Mw|Extension:HitCounters|HitCounters extension}} from MediaWiki, as this provides the current data output required for its [[wikiFactor]] (wF) value.
