On Wednesday, October 15, 2008, Craig Glenn Arnold founded the Chip's Challenge Wiki on the Fandom software platform. [[Andrew Bennett]] assisted in the creation of numerous articles, Yongyi Chen assisted in uploading many transparent images of tiles, and [[Mike Lask]] assisted in uploading the [[AVI]] solutions hosted at his website (at the time). It was during the late 2000s and early 2010s when the Fandom wiki was in its prime for editing, but this popularity decreased rapidly after Yongyi Chen departed from the community, who had been one of the few active editors alongside Andrew Bennett. | On Wednesday, October 15, 2008, Craig Glenn Arnold founded the Chip's Challenge Wiki on the Fandom software platform.

In contrast, the Chip's Challenge Wiki is often criticized for having inaccurate or confusing information, such as the [[directional notation]] used in many level guides written by Andrew Bennett or incorrect calculations on the odds of certain random events. For many years, much of this wrong information was left unchanged, save for about a dozen or so articles about more relevant topics such as the [[Twice Step Glitch]]. These issues would lead to the CC Wiki being considered an unreliable source of information, due to lack of interest in site and article maintenance. It would not be until the move to MediaWiki that more users became active editors.{{fact}} | In contrast, the Chip's Challenge Wiki is often criticized for having inaccurate or confusing information, such as the [[directional notation]] used in many level guides written by Andrew Bennett or incorrect calculations on the odds of certain random events.
