There are [thousands](http://wikiindex.org) of [wikis](https://wikiapiary.com) in the Internet. Everyday some of them are no longer publicly available and, due to lack of backups, lost forever. Millions of people download tons of media files (movies, music, books, etc) from the Internet, implementing a kind of distributed backup. Wikis, most of them under free licenses, disappear from time to time because nobody grabbed a copy of them. That is a shame that we would like to solve.
**WikiTeam** is the [Archive Team](http://www.archiveteam.org) subcommittee on wikis. It was founded and originally developed by [Emilio J. Rodríguez-Posada](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Emijrp), a Wikipedia veteran editor and amateur archivist. Many people have help sending suggestions, [reporting bugs](https://github.com/WikiTeam/wikiteam/issues), writing [documentation](https://github.com/WikiTeam/wikiteam/wiki), providing help in the [mailing list](http://groups.google.com/group/wikiteam-discuss) and making wiki backups. Thanks to all, especially to: [Federico Leva](http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Nemo_bis), Alex Buie, [Scott Boyd](http://www.sdboyd56.com), [Hydriz](http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Hydriz), Platonides, Ian McEwen and Mike Dupont.
