We're a diverse community, but we can all come together to celebrate this decade together.
It is with great honor that we at the Final Fantasy Wiki can announce that on Friday the 13th of this month this site will have been up for ten years. For an entire decade this fan-made community project to compile the greatest compendium of Final Fantasy knowledge had run strong. We, the wiki admins, are very happy to celebrate this milestone with all of you.
The very first edit was back on March 13th 2005 when our founder Shane613 created his user page, proclaiming himself "Creator of the Final Fantasy Wiki." Since that time much has happened, we have grown massively, to over 16,000 articles. This was always a massive project to undertake considering the scale of Square Enix's flagship RPG series, and every passing year they make our job much harder by releasing more games. But we have come through the wild years of filling up red links, and finally creating what we hope to be the best guide to the Final Fantasy games and the best collection of Final Fantasy knowledge available. This wiki has had character battles, Walkthroughs, Let's Plays, and all kinds of other fan content which we hope to continue to share with you all for another decade and more.
Obviously, this is not the end, this is merely the beginning. Final Fantasy continues to roar strong, with Final Fantasy XV just around the corner, along with more other titles than even our seasoned veteran editors can name. There is plenty to do, even in the older games, and if you want to join us, come right alone. The edit button is open to all. Be bold.
For now, at the end of this month we will be creating a fan video of our editors and readers who wish to join in. Deadline is March 31st. If you have anything to share with us our your experience or what this wiki has meant to you, do not be shy, send it right over. We can accept audio or video. (Please try to send your audio in .OGG format and your video in .WMV format, if possible. Every entry must be under a minute long, or it will be subject to ruthless but loving trimming. Make sure the file is small enough to be sent over email, obviously.) You can drop your audio or footage off at our collective email: ffwiki.ff@gmail.com .
However if you cannot be a part of the video or are just shy, you can leave your thoughts and well-wishes below. Please sign each entry.
Well-Wishes
Happy thoughts go here.

So I'm taking the lead on this project, I figure it's only fair to jump in myself and humiliate myself as thoroughly as possible: | |||

Congratulations, Final Fantasy Wiki! I am so glad to have been a part of this site for so long. I have met so many great friends, and I feel like this site has really helped me branch out. Plus, being on the IRC so much has helped me greatly improve my typing skills! :) Thank you for all of the great times, FF Wiki. Here's to another ten years! | |||
Since it Friday the 13th, I'd like to wish the FFWiki all the best: no vandals, plentiful of contributors, many activities, and another decade of faithful servitude! Is there an article you think is of an exceptional quality? Vote for it here! | |||
