This is a timeline of Googology Wiki, written in in-universe style! (oh, and all times are UTC)

Formation Era (Dec 2008 ~ Apr 2009)

 * December 5, 2008: The planet of Googology Wiki is created on the Galaxy of Wikia, with the underlying natural force of Default. Followed by 100 zeroes, the Big Hoss, watches the planet from up ahead while it forms.
 * December 5: The Spirit of Googology reaches the planet. Googol, googolplex and others first appear on the planet, as well as a category for numbers.
 * December 6: A second user visits the planet, and worked with FB100Z until December 17, 2008.
 * December 6: Simple extensions of googol, such as googo- appears. Googol and googolplex got semi-protected.

 * December 9: Million, milliard and billion appears.
 * December 10-14: Many meteors fell to the planet, each containing googologisms such as giggol, tritri, mega, gaggol, and boogol.
 * December 12: An early roadmap is created.
 * December 15: The Mighty Graham visits the planet.

 * January 27: Although million and billion existed, larger -illions such as trillion were not on the planet until this day.
 * January 29-30: The Factorials invade the planet.
 * February 14-16: A particularly notable meteor shower occurred, each containing Bowers' googologisms, such as goobol, gongulus and the legendary meameamealokkapoowa oompa.
 * February 16-17: The meteor storm continues, now bringing Bowers' illion numbers such as killillion, ikyotillion and multillion.

Long Frozen Era (Apr 2009 ~ Feb 2011)

 * December 21, 2009: A guy from space appears, creating many houses. Most of them were later destroyed.
 * March 16, 2010: Followed by 100 zeroes briefly re-appeared, destroying original content on the planet. (It is suspected that the "original content" is not original at all.)

First Developing Era (Feb 2011 ~ Jan 2012)

 * February 22, 2011: Followed by 100 zeroes, the Big Hoss, finally made a serious return to the planet, with the new name "FB100Z", which is still used today. A page about an exotic you-can't-overflow-this calculator is created, while the return of him caused many old houses to be destroyed.

The List Period

 * March 11: Cloudy creates the One True List of Googologisms.
 * March 21-May 14: An attempt to brighten up the planet is made.
 * May 25: The Ace gains superpower from an external source. As a result, a cataclysm occurs, causing many buildings to be destroyed and/or sent back in time, particularly those that are brightened.
 * May 26: The page Numbers was created by Ace as an attempt to create a list of real numbers. However, it was misused a long time later, and was destroyed on August 2012.
 * August 21: Cloudy decided to divide the list into parts.

 * November 27: From this day and on, Cloudy creates Hyper-E numbers such as grangol and gorgegol, one at each day, until January 18, 2012.
 * December 8: Exponentiation is introduced to the community, after been used implicitly for a long time. The Bot is built by FB100Z.
 * December 9: An attempt to introduce BEAF to newcomers has made.

Short Frozen Era (Jan 2012 ~ Mar 2012)

 * January-February, 2012: FB100Z and Cloudy both disappears, and the planet was forgotten again.
 * March 1: Cloudy came back, and after creating more Hyper-E numbers such as goolda, he activates the Version-2 Navigation.
 * March 18: The German people has taken another planet on the star system, and built the Googology Wiki in their language. It was unnoticed in the Main Planet until February 11, 2013.

Made-up Number Era (Mar 2012 ~ Jul 2012)

 * March 23, 2012: Some mario creates the largest number, known as gigoombaverse. It actually was the largest number on the wiki, apart from Rayo's number. The creation of this number marked the beginning of the Made-up Number Era.
 * April 1: Sbiis Saibian mentioned gigoombaverse on an April Fools' joke about Graham's number.
 * April 18: Aarex, the greatest non-official googologism creator, joins. (Actually, he existed long before this era.)
 * April 18-May 31: Many new numbers, based on earlier numbers, were created, such as googollargeplex, mega-ooga, ggggol, great goshomity, -illioillion, bodgahlah, centougol, omnillion, -byt, etc. as well as infinite numbers and small numbers. Also, they are added to List of googologisms and Numbers, etc.
 * Around this time, blogs began to be used.
 * May 30: The Hypercube creates an account, after spending months contributing as an IP.

The Peak of Made-up Numbers

 * June, 2012: The creation of made-up numbers reached its peak, as more made-up numbers were created, such as pentatet, billid, sextiggulus, googolinfplex, omniexplosion, vundatri, timegol, bllion (not to be confused with billion), trkar, gog, bed, etc. There were so many of them that I couldn't even write all of them here!
 * Before the beginning of the era, there were about 700 articles. At the end of the era, there were about 1,600.
 * July 10: FB100Z began to delete all those made-up numbers, closing the Made-up Number Era.

Cleanup Era (Jul 2012 ~ ???)

 * July 19, 2012 and onwards: The Hypercube was given admin rights, as him and FB100Z began to clean-up the mess from the previous era. It continued until about January 2013. Most buildings created from the previous era were completely destroyed but still in some people's memory, and some hidden buildings actually survive to the present day.
 * Addition and Multiplication was also destroyed due to its rare (direct) use in googology. It has been rebuilt 3 months later, however.

Draft

 * December 8, 2012: Googology Wiki celebrates its fourth birthday. A day later, One to Infinity, the e-book brainchild of Sbiis Saibian and GWiki's step-sister also celebrates its fourth birthday.
 * Actually this was celebrated on the wrong day. The wiki was created on December 5, as seen on near the top of this page.
 * December 13: The Googol Broadcasting System started broadcasting their news on a screen on the Spaceport.
 * December 26: The research for Croutonillion, the One True Salad Number has begun.


 * January 4, 2013: The numbers below 100 having their own residence is no longer forbidden, as it turned out that they were used as the building blocks of lots of houses the whole time. (By the way, anything larger than 1 is a large number after all!)
 * Consequently, on that day and the following 2 weeks or so, an apartment housing integers from 0 to 99 has been built.
 * Apparently, these small numbers were clever; they planned on when to move into the apartment, so at one time, when it was dark, the turned-on lights from each house made the word "HI".
 * January 6: Adam P. Goucher has beaten Rayo with his Xi function... allegedly.

The Cascading-E Period

 * January 22, 2013: Sbiis Saibian has constructed a greatly strengthened version of the Hyper-E notation, now known as the Cascading-E notation.
 * January 23: As a quick reaction, the template has been built, along with several residential homes for the newly made numbers.
 * January 30: Thanks to the quick work, the house for the Great and Terrible Tethrathoth is ready!

...


 * March 19, 2013: As the numbers have the List, the functions now have their own list as well!
 * March 30: The people living in the lower attic now also have their residence on the planet, due to its importance of the construction of the standard of FGH.
 * April 29, 2013: Cloudy found out that the apartment for small numbers was too prominent, and it was causing insomnia to its residents.
 * May 8, 2013: The lucky G. M. Giaquaxul got the 2000th home built in the planet.
 * May 28: The Singaporean Guy is arrested by the Galactic Police for harassment towards a citizen on another planet.
 * June 15: Another Googology Big Number Wiki is built on another planet, this time in Dutch.

...


 * November 28: The people from the middle and upper attic (other than the youngest one, which was already on the planet) got an invitation ticket to the Thanksgiving party on the planet.
 * December 1, 2013 ~ Present: The Introduction to BEAF is undergoing a major expansion/reconstruction!
