The Portal 2 Wiki was founded on the 20th April 2011 by Lagg, RJackson and WindPower, who knew eachother from being members of staff at the Official Team Fortress Wiki. The Wiki's intent is to document the Portal series, produced by Valve Software, in an encyclopaedic manner that proves beneficial to fanatics, players and prospective players.
Quickly after the Wiki's founding, additional contributors from the Official Team Fortress Wiki and trusted friends formed the Core Team of Contributors that helped prepare the blank slate of MediaWiki into a functioning Wiki ready to be packed full of information. This "Core team" is mentioned as a thank you to them for their efforts.
