Does anyone knows what was the URL/website of the KSP wiki before it moved to the Squad servers in 2013?

Ive been here since August 7, 2013 and thats when it was still run by @HarvesteR so afaik its always been forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com. Ofc when I joined 0.21 had just been launched in july 2013 (when i started playing) on steam, so ya, afaik its always been this. Perhaps someone from before my time knows different?

Thanks, now we know something new about the forums!

However, I've looked at the wayback machine (web.archive.org) and it appears that the wiki at wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com was first saved in early 2013.
What I precisely wanted to know is what was the URL of the wiki before it was hosted in the Squad servers (before June 8th 2012).

 

Spoiler

• 08 Jun 2012 Welcome to the new official wiki.

(from the main page of the KSP wiki)

Which means that there was a wiki before, somewhere else in the web.

I don't think there was one. I mean, an official one. There was one on Fandom and maybe some other site had one too, but the "new" official one in 2012 was just that: new and official.

The oldest history page on the Fandom wiki is from August 2011, 2 months after KSP was released. It may have coincided with v0.9 which may also have been a milestone that made the fandom want a wiki. I don't know. I didn't show up until 0.18 myself.

@Nazalassa i didnt see the wiki portion of your questions title  and thusly provided my response. But im glad it was useful as is. In my defense tho, I was also flying cross country on msfs about 2-2.5 hours deep into a 4.5 hour flight between Atlanta and Los Angeles lol

Just had a look at a pirate site with KSP 0.13 (2011) from Jan 2012, and the game webpage is written as
 http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/

So, probably wiki was there.

I went on the Wayback machine to get the kerbalspaceprogram.com website as it was in January 2012. There was a tab labeled "wiki" and its URL was kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/ .

Links from the Wayback Machine:

The "usable" wiki

Then KSP admin read a tutorial how to write folders as subdomains in httpd.conf, and he did it!

Well, in fact these are the links to the Wayback Machine site. In the site's memory anyone can save any website, or see any saved website. As the old KSP wiki was saved in it, I provided the link to see it, from the Wayback Machine.

(however it's pretty incomplete)
