All living at a new URL. Welcome to the new home of the Blaseball Wiki. We're thrilled you came!

Today, we are opening this wiki to the public. This website is now considered the master copy of the Blaseball Wiki. Any and all changes to the Blaseball record belong here.

Paradoxically, there is both a lot and very little to discuss about the public opening, so let's get right into it.

Previous edits to blaseball.wiki and split from Fandom

This last weekend, we performed the final automatic migration from Fandom. This means two things. One, if you made an account or edits to this website before Saturday, November 28, 2020, you will need to make a new account, and your edits are no longer present. That was a sandbox wiki, and we have hidden it from view to make it our development environment.

Two, the migration from Fandom took place midday on Saturday. If you made any edits after that, they will not be transferred by us. You will have to manually transfer your edits, and we'll be helping facilitate that. Reach out to us on Twitter or Discord for more information.

Claiming usernames and edit histories from Fandom

If you edited the Fandom wiki and you wish to claim your username or edit history, we can do that for you. We have set up a specific forum for this very thing. Make a new account with a new username, then visit our Username Migration forum to make a post. You will be asked to verify your old Fandom username, after which you can claim your old username and history, or pick a new username.

Updated Guides for Talk pages

One of the major features of this wiki is a threaded conversation system for Talk pages. To help users make the transition, we've written an updated guide at Help:Editing_101/Talk_Pages.

The other Editing Guides still largely refer to Fandom software. We'll be updating those over the coming weeks. In the mean time, you may refer to them for general advice, or contact us on Twitter or Discord, or post in the forums for assistance.
