History[edit | edit source]

The wiki was first proposed in March-April 2022 as information for Foreston Transit and Malinograd (now Malinowo) Trains & Trams. The first pages were set up in Google Docs; these were Foreston Little Underground, Line 1, and Line 2. However, the wiki's creation was delayed and then postponed.

It was originally planned on Fandom; however, due to website's incompatibility with the Kindle's browser, it was then decided to be on Miraheze. This was also initially postponed because of Miraheze's dormancy policy, and that requesting a wiki would take a while. ShoutWiki was not chosen due to its wiki creation wizard being broken for years, and the upgrade to the 1.35 version of MediaWiki.

The creator and current admin of the wiki, Trainsaregreat, saw that Creative Wikis Wiki, a reception wiki, was hosted on Byethost, a hosting site with free and paid plans, that includes PHP and MySQL with it. He decided to host Foreston Transit Roblox Wiki on the same hosting site. After trying to figure out how to make it work, Trainsaregreat opened the wiki on February 26, 2023, and copied and pasted the text from the Google Docs document. At first, the site was having problems on Google Chrome, so the creator of the wiki had to install Firefox and login to the account there. Finally, the site was online in Google Chrome, Safari, and then the Kindle's web browser.

In December 2023, Trainsaregreat announced that the wiki was moving to Miraheze. The reasons for this were because ByetHost didn't work well, he forgot the password to his account, it had a tendency to keep refreshing and losing work whenever the save page button was pressed, and that he lost access to the dashboard. An additional reason was because ShoutWiki's wiki creation wizard might be down for a long time and low activity from the staff members of ShoutWiki. A set month was made for the wiki's move, in March 2024.

On March 2, 2024, the new wiki was requested on Miraheze.[1] After some time on March 6, 2024, the wiki was created on Miraheze. The wiki was in the process of transferring to the new wiki, with it being completed on March 17, 2024. The original wiki stayed up for archival purposes.
