Main Page

URGENT NOTICE: Miraheze's servers experienced a catastrophic drive loss in mid-November, resulting in Chuck-E-Pedia being taken down. The wiki has been recreated from an earlier backup for now, but may or may not be restored to its original state within the coming weeks. The current wiki state is from August (aside from image media, which was not affected by the loss). There are more recent page backups of specific pages however, usually up to their most recent iteration. These can be found on sites like the Wayback Machine and Yandex. The current goal is to find every single page possible, and reimport them onto CEP incase Miraheze's data loss does not succeed. We thank any contributors willing to help reimport what they can find. This process has to be done by manual copying and pasting. It is advised that users not try to recreate any old pages from scratch if they cannot find a backup, as if data recovery is possible, then the extra work will be for nothing. It is recommended just to focus on backups, and creating entirely new pages until Miraheze's decision can be announced. Thank you for sticking with CEP during this loss, and both us and Miraheze will be dedicated to even more backups for the foreseeable future. [Additional note, image servers currently aren't connected, so old images wont display yet. All images from November are still there, so please do not upload any duplicate images.] Welcome to Chuck-E-Pedia! This wiki covers all aspects of Chuck E. Cheese's, Pizza Time Theatre, Creative Engineering, and ShowBiz Pizza Place.
