UltimateWiki is a free encyclopedia on gaming, computers and other technology. UltimateWiki is edited by volunteers all around the world, but is based in the UK. Its articles can be edited by any visitors, simply by clicking edit at the top of each page.

In every article, links will guide you to associated articles, often with additional information. You are welcome to add further information, cross-references, or citations, so long as you do so within UltimateWiki's editing policies and to an appropriate standard. You do not need to fear accidentally damaging UltimateWiki when you add or improve information, as other editors and TechTeam administrators are always around to advise or correct obvious errors, if needed, and the UltimateWiki software, known as MediaWiki, is carefully designed to allow easy reversal of editorial mistakes.

Because UltimateWiki is an on-going work to which in principle anybody can contribute, it differs from a paper-based reference source in some very important ways. In particular, older articles tend to be more comprehensive and balanced, while newer articles may still contain significant misinformation, unencyclopedic content, or vandalism. Users need to be aware of this in order to obtain valid information and avoid misinformation which has been recently added and not yet removed. However, unlike a paper reference source, UltimateWiki can be constantly updated, with articles on topical events being created or updated within minutes or hours, rather than months or years for printed encyclopedias.

UltimateWiki is administrated by the UltimateWiki Administrators, who run the site on behalf of TechTeam.

UltimateWiki is owned and operated by TechTeam, who have created a family of websites based on technology, including The Ultimate Site. Copyright information
