The Super Mario Wiki was created on August 12th, 2005, 13:47 EDT. On August 12th, 2006, this wiki was off to a good start, but still there was only a small amount of active users. On Saturday August 11th, 2007 with a userbase finally forming, we celebrated our wiki's existence with an [[/2007|awards show]] on 30 of our favorite Mario topics, including favorite games, music, items, series, moments, enemies, and more. | The Super Mario Wiki was created on August 12th, 2005, 13:47 EDT.

Last year, we expanded this magnificent event by including much of our userbase with Userpedia Awards I, and on August 8th, 2008, it turned out to be an [[MarioWiki:Anniversary/2008|even bigger success]]. And you've bet we've grown some more since then – we reached an astounding 9 digits in the page view count (100,000,000!) and increased that total number, accomplished in almost 3.5 years, by 10% in just two months (110,000,000 and rising!). As such, the time has come again to plan another big event to celebrate the wiki – and hopefully bigger! | Last year, we expanded this magnificent event by including much of our userbase with Userpedia Awards I, and on August 8th, 2008, it turned out to be an [[MarioWiki:Anniversary/2008|even bigger success]].

There will be short 3-5 minute breaks in-between each presentation. The idea is that users can comment on the previous presentation as well as continue script ideas spurred from past presentations or even have separate scripts off-stage, perhaps in chat as well. It's all supposed to be one big party AND show both in chat and on the forum. | There will be short 3-5 minute breaks in-between each presentation.

The conductor of Brawl is Xpike; me and WarioLoaf will handle the MKWii one. Please note that these are very tentative right now and need committed users to make it happen, so signing up shows a general interest. The tourneys will occur the day before or after August 14th but not on it. Similar alternate contact would be helpful. | ||

When the warehouse where their servers were caught fire, their backups did not function properly, and they were forced to completely shut down in shame. Nothing could be recovered, and it left everyone irate. Userpedia, thriving still at the time, went to nothing. | ||
