'''Metroid Wiki''' is an online ''[[Metroid (series)|Metroid]]'' encyclopedia that anyone can edit. We aim to be the definitive source of information on the popular ''Metroid'' Series. Metroid Wiki is independently owned and operated, and as a result there is a focus on building a community within the site.

There are plenty of articles at Metroid Wiki to be worked on and many that haven't even been created yet. Why not [[Special:UserLogin|create an account]] today, and become a part of this ever growing project?

==History==
The site was founded on January 27th, 2010 by [[User:Nathanial Rumphol-Janc|Nathanial Rumphol-Janc]] and [[User:Melchizedek|Dathen Boccabella]], as an idea that originated at the [http://forums.zeldainformer.com/ Zelda Informer forums], and was then officially launched on February 9th, 2010. Throughout the staff boards and the community boards at Zelda Informer there was a desire to begin a sister site, Metroid Informer. While this concept is yet to manifest itself, the idea of a Metroid Wiki was raised by Nathan, and with the widespread support it received at both Zelda Informer and other websites, the wiki is here today.

The original [[Metroid Wiki: Staff and Contact|staff]] of Metroid Wiki was comprised of just 3 members,<ref>[http://www.metroidwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Metroid_Wiki:Staff_and_Contact&oldid=237 Metroid Wiki Staff and Contact revision, January 28th, 2010]</ref> but grew and changed over time. In April 2011, the Wiki changed hands and [[User:Prod|Prod]] was listed as the wiki Owner,<ref>[http://www.metroidwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Metroid_Wiki:Staff_and_Contact&direction=next&oldid=25904 Metroid Wiki Staff and Contact revision, April 11th, 2011]</ref> and in May of that year, Procyon was listed as a co-owner.<ref>[http://www.metroidwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Metroid_Wiki:Staff_and_Contact&direction=next&oldid=27142 Metroid Wiki Staff and Contact revision, May 7th, 2011]</ref>
