A wiki for specialized RPR lore has been a "some day" sort of idea. It's been discussed and kicked around as something that would be nice to have, but who knows when or if it'll happen. But behold - some day came!There is now SO much lore about stuff on the RPR -- Epic Week in particular is a lore-generation power house, but there are plenty of other things and recurring characters that people often ask about. Questions like, why are there walrus pets on this site? Wait, what the heck is a Many Headed Cyborg Dragon? Where is the Struthian Isle? It makes sense to have a place we can store our trivia, factoids and special RPR interests all in one place.
Our wiki is slightly unusual in that it is organized into Shelves, Books, Chapters and Pages, in the hopes that organizing it would feel intuitive for our book-loving userbase.
Every time I've had a low energy or a sick day since Epic Week I've been working on seeding information into the Wiki as a starting place, but I can't wait to see how it expands and what memories the community adds to it!
If you're interested in being an RPR Lore Wiki editor, you can read the guidelines and sign up here: https://www.rprepository.com/lore-wiki/become-a-wiki-editor
The link to access the wiki is currently housed under Help, as it's a big chunk of information. But I'm open to suggestions about where else it might work better.
I want to give a special shout-out to Zelphyr for their amazing work over the years catalouging Epic Week info over in their group The Armory - I drew on their notes heavily when seeding the wiki.

YES HYPE!
This is so so SO cool and fun. The RPR lore is awesome, and being able to look back (and make wild guesses about potential future plot/metaplot) is fantastic! ^v^
Hooray for the internal wiki!
I actually think that the "help" dropdown is a good spot for it, though I could see having it also under the "event" dropdown when Epic Week is live. Help is a good steady home for it though.
