In its first few days after establishment, the wiki began to grow rapidly, gaining many new editors and numerous pages and updates. Some news articles regarding the wiki were posted on the MWLL site, and in less than a month since its creation the wiki gained a new theme of its own.
On 24 July, 2017, a large effort was started to migrate all articles and files to a new wiki (the very one you are reading from). About a month later, the new wiki was officially unveiled in an announcement on the MWLL Discord server.
The MWLL wiki is the largest compendium about MWLL available.
