The owner of HasanistanPedia, the government-backed independent encyclopedia and archive on Hasani history, has decided to move the project from Blogger to the free wikifarm service Miraheze.
HasanistanPedia has existed since mid-2013, being one of the oldest active institutions in Hasanistan. Since its creation, HasanistanPedia has always been based on the Blogger service because of the fact that the owners already had experience with the service as the government website is also hosted on Blogger. However, using Blogger has come at a disadvantage when attempting to make an online encyclopedia. Blogger is mostly made for being a blogging/news site and not a wiki as HasanistanPedia wished to be, making it both harder to edit than any MediaWiki-based service and without the ability for the public to support and help in the project. The move to Miraheze will allow the public to help in the development of HasanistanPedia.
Although HasanistanPedia will move to a different service, the Hasanistan government website will indefinitely stay on Blogger.
The new website can be found here!
