Toaru Majutsu no Index Wiki:About

The Toaru Majutsu no Index Wiki is a wiki that focuses on the Toaru Majutsu no Index universe crafted by light novel author Kamachi Kazuma. This wiki contains information from all forms of media related to the Toaru Majutsu no Index franchise, from the light novels, the manga and anime adaptations, game releases and others.

Overview
This wiki is a project to bring the world of Toaru Majutsu no Index from Japan to the rest of the world, offering fellow Wikia users the privilege of viewing and contributing information from the various media of the Index franchise. Like most of the common wikis in the Web, this wiki is powered by MediaWiki software.

Since the first days of the wiki, the light novel series are still something unknown to many fans of light novels outside Japan. This wiki aims to help out those interested in picking up the series by offering comprehensive information about the story, the characters, and various aspects of the light novels. Also, this wiki would eventually become a haven for fans of Toaru Majutsu no Index, allowing discussions about the universe and what's to come for the series (since the novels are still ongoing).

Take note that since this wiki is here to record everything about the Index series, prepare for an onslaught of spoilers ahead.

Development
The Toaru Majutsu no Index Wiki was launched by GalaxyTM on September 19, 2009. He is later joined by Zekblue, who contributed to the modification of the wiki's first main page.

Since the first day of the wiki's launch, the Toaru Majutsu no Index Wiki has vastly expanded into a comprehensive source of information for most of the media belonging to the Index franchise. The wiki now covers the Toaru Majutsu no Index light novels, the anime and manga adaptations, its spinoff anime series Toaru Kagaku no Railgun and its manga adaptation, the various sidestories created for both Index and Railgun, and the games based on the two series.

As the Toaru Majutsu no Index Wiki's contributions are being noticed by the fanbase, the fan translating group Baka-Tsuki began to team up with the contributors of the wiki. To this day, the Toaru Majutsu no Index Wiki maintains an affiliation with the translators of the Toaru Majutsu no Index light novels at Baka-Tsuki.
