Your best Dragon Ball and Akira Toriyama wiki is finally open!
Development
This wiki is maintained, supported, and produced in full by a small, ragtag group of editors working their collective butts off, completely unpaid and unsupported in any way, because we’re very silly and we believe in old-school projects like this. Everything you read on the wiki (just as with the main site) has been written by someone with their own fingers, having picked up an actual book to reference, popped in an actual DVD, etc. etc. etc.
No “AI” has been used in any way, shape, or form to develop any written content, and we vehemently denounce and condemn its use. We are doing everything in our power to fight back against the “Dead Internet.”
What to Expect From Articles
While we have "launched," that doesn’t mean the wiki is "complete"; it's impossible for this to ever truly be finished, so keep that in mind as you click and tap around. Some articles may be unfinished, have placeholder text leftover, etc. It’s a work-in-progress as it's always been.
You're also going to find more articles about esoteric topics and materials than more mainstream ones. For example, there's no article for "Big Bang Attack" right now, but we sure do have articles for the various manga compilations given away at recent Jump Festa events!
Just like we've always done with the main website, we want to do what no-one else is doing, what no-one else seems to care about, and to cover what has been seemingly lost to time.
An Expanded Focus
You'll also discover far broader coverage and reach around the expanded world of Akira Toriyama than ever before. Looking for a complete list of Dr. Slump chapters (in actual publication order) — including the accompanying weekly comments from Toriyama? How about release dates and documentation for his uncompiled one-shots? How about spin-off manga for other properties based on his character designs?
This has been our dumping ground for all this kind of information, and we couldn’t be more excited to finally share it with you.
User Experience
You’ll roughly get the same experience in our wiki that you do on the main website, which is one of the biggest differentiators we have: no ads.
We’re not a company, we’re under no obligation to shareholders or investors, and we’re just as frustrated with the larger internet browsing experience as you are. When you load a page, you’re loading a web page, and that’s basically it. There’s a little bit of analytics running under the hood just for us to broadly be aware of what pages are getting traffic, but that’s it.
If that sounds awesome to you, we wouldn’t be opposed to a little help keeping the lights on each month.
Access
While everyone in the general public now has access to read the wiki, our small group of existing editors will remain in charge of actually developing it further. We have no plans for open registration access — this is the only way that we can maintain the quality of the project, which is what sets it apart from other documentation sources in the first place. While we do not plan on actively recruiting, we do hope we can learn about and meet others out there who have extremely niche, specialized knowledge in certain areas, and have either already worked on their own independent documentation project(s), and/or would like to discuss how they could perhaps get involved with ours.
