Dinosaurs and Creating Pages

Welcome to the wiki for all you need to know about dinosaurs, the fascinating ancient beasts which this wiki is about! To create a page, type in its name in the "Search Dinosaur Wiki" box, then click the "Search" button again if it says no such page exists, then click the red link if it has not already been created. This will take you to the editing screen or you can do it the easy way and click the “New Page” button underneath the search box. Before you create a page, you first must ask a Founder first. You can find a link under the search bar to the Founders.  For permission to create a page, find Gigantosaurus 001.  

How our Wiki came to be

This wiki was founded by three school friends, T-Rex 882 (Actual creator of the wiki), Gigantosaurus 001 (His idea to make a new wiki) and Raptor 225 (Decided the subject of dinosaurs) after the creation of a few other wikis which turned out as failures. After the creation of a few pages they decided to recruit a few people and grant them (rather generously) higher ranks in exchange for them to create pages and follow the rules (see the link above). Long Live The Dinosaur Wiki! , and may it be One Wiki To Rule Them All!!

Taken usernames

The following dinosaurs are already in use and cannot be used for usernames. If you create an account with an already taken name of a chosen dinosaur, that account will be permanently blocked from editing, with NO EXCEPTIONS: 

T-Rex, Gigantosaurus, Raptor, Troodon, Spinosaurus, Allosaurus, Utahraptor, Triceratops, Pteranodon, Dilophosaurus.  

Remeber, when you create an account, it has to be a name of a dinosaur (none of the ones above) followed by 3 numbers. To create an account, click on the Create account box in the top right hand corner of the screen. When you have done this, contact one of the Founders using the link under the search bar.
