Our Mission
Our mission is to maintain a comprehensive, reliable and objective database of the history of the LittleBigPlanet Union and the history of the LittleBigPlanet Community for a game known as LittleBigPlanet, published by Sony Computer Entertainment.
About the Union Wiki
The LBP Union Wiki began in 2009 and was established by the first President of the LittleBigPlanet Union, Godman2k7, to keep a comprehensive database of all Union states and history. This older wiki can be found here. It was very loosely maintained and had very few standards for style and professionalism, and no concept of source citation.
Up around the point of the Union Schism, the wiki was thrown into the conflict between the New Union and the Loyalist Union. Godman2k7 protected the main page and used it to promote his new, now defunct, Loyalist Union Wiki. Years after the initial collapse of the Union, the alliance was refounded on December 14th, 2013. Seeking to reboot the wiki, President M88youngling sought to renovate the old wiki, but Godman2k7 explained that he had lost his password and was unable to remove the protection on the main portal.
As such, M88youngling founded this site as the LBP Union Archives and entrusted it under the Union Ministry of Intelligence to preserve data on Union clans and history. It has since grown to adopt standards for article styles, citations, and also has developed a more professional appearance in general. It also has expanded to provide a repository of information on much more than just the LBP Union and its history, and seeks to fill in the gaps for the many holes in LBP clan history. Even beyond the fall of the Union in 2016, this wiki will continue to grow as a resource. This wiki labelled as the Legacy Wiki can be found here.
From 2023, Lead Protector M88youngling and Protector Ezoiar transferred the wiki over from Fandom (formerly known as Wikia) to self-hosting. Simultaneously, the wiki's main focus changed to focus on the LBP community previously restricting it to just clanning, like its counterparts of the LBP Union's Discord server and the LBP Union's website.
Anyone can contribute to the archival initiative. Visitors are openly welcome to contribute by creating pages, updating articles and adding information to help make this wiki the best and most objective source of information for the LBP Union and the community history of LittleBigPlanet. Whether or not you are completely unfamiliar with the community on LittleBigPlanet, or if you are an old veteran, the LBP Union Archives is the ideal place for you to grow and contribute your knowledge to the expansive history of LittleBigPlanet's community, communicate and discuss ideas/knowledge with other archivists.
