My name is Korra II, I'm a long-time Mystery Dungeon fan, dating back to the summer of 2007 when I first played the demo of Red Rescue Team at GameStop. I got Red Rescue Team as a birthday present and was hooked. Years later, in September 2012, while looking for PMD news, I discovered Shiren 1 for the Nintendo DS, and from there, the various other MD titles. I soon found and joined the Wetpaint Wiki where I was greeted by fellow enthusiastic fans of Mystery Dungeon. It was a combination of the passion of Shiren fans, as well as the Inheriwiki, Dragon Age Wiki, Unofficial Edler Scrolls Pages, The Risen Wiki, and the Witcher Wiki that made me want to see the series I was passionate about documented.
I always felt that I never would have gotten into Shiren as easily as I did without the help of other Shiren fans or the wiki. I also lamented the lack of proper resources for people who wanted to play the other games in the series but didn't know Japanese. For years, I wanted to clean up the OG Shiren Wiki but didn't know what the formatting standards were, or who was in charge. In November 2018, when I discovered the wiki was being ported to Gamepedia, I jumped at the chance to join the cleanup process. I later became the sole admin of the project, upgrading it to the Mystery Dungeon Wiki in September 2019. In November 2020 Fandom announced that they were retiring Gamepedia URLs. Tired of a project I cared so much about being passed around like a piece of property, I requested the support of my fellow editors to take the wiki independent. Together, Adkuate, Blue, and I founded the Independent Mystery Dungeon Franchise Wiki to escape Fandom, and wiki farms in general.
