History
The Osolia Historical Society is the direct successor to the Melonia Civic Society that existed during Osolia's predecessor, the Republic of Melonia. The Melonia Civic Society's main task was also to run and maintain their own wiki, the Melonia Wiki. Despite this history, an Osolia Wiki was not officially suggested until Speaker tz_scion on May 19, 2024 when he asked the Assembly for their views on the idea. Speaker Scion, TriforceComet and Michael Webb all agreed that one would be good, but the idea didn't go much farther until June 16, 2024 when Michael Webb brought up the idea once again.
This time, however, the idea was discussed in far more detail, with making decisions such as deciding to use MediaWiki rather than Melonia Wiki's DokuWiki for this iteration, and the Osolia Wiki officially opened in the early hours of June 17, 2024. Since then, the wiki has been edited over 1,300 times, and over 80 pages have been created as of November 26, 2024.[1]
