	The Oddworld Library celebrated its second anniversary since its official launch on <time datetime="2008-04-01">1st April 2008</time>. To mark the occasion, its archive of press interviews returned in a new section of The Oddworld Archives, called ‘<b>The Oddworld Scriptures</b>’, developed by Wil. In addition, although only 1 new article had been published on The Oddworld Encyclopedia since its first month, TOE was updated with 8 new articles, 3 navigational pages and 1 updated article. This updated article on [[Fleech]]es was the first to use a reference list of cited sources, and came with a button to hide the inline citations if visitors found them annoying.

			In 2016, the Library's front page changed from its traditional green design to a new dark purple one.<ref name="Atrium2016"/> Early the next year, the same redesign was applied to the Oddworld Encyclopedia.<ref name="TOE2017"/>

			Although MediaWiki had been installed on the Oddworld Library server at the start of 2008,<ref name="MediaWiki Installation 2008"/> and despite both a number of articles being ported from the original Encyclopedia as well as a number of original articles being written between <time datetime="2010-05">May 2010</time> and <time datetime="2012-04">April 2012</time>, a large-scale effort to replace parts of the Library with MediaWiki content wasn't started until <time>2015</time>. In <time datetime="2015-05">May</time> that year, [[Xavier]] moved all remaining Encyclopedia articles to the wiki.<ref name="MediaWikiEncyclopedia"/> From <time datetime="2017-04-08T08:13:26Z">8</time> to <time datetime="2017-05-28T07:47:34Z">15 April 2017</time>, Xavier moved all [[interviews]] and [[diaries]] from The Oddworld Scriptures to the wiki,<ref name="MediaWikiScripture"/> as well as adding newer press articles for posterity; over the course of a few days from <time datetime="2017-05-25T14:49:10Z">25 May</time>, he also added texts from the [[INsOMNIOUS]] version of [[Oddworld.com]]. By <time datetime="2017-09-05T03:35:06Z">5 September</time>, the front page of the Library redirected to the wiki.<ref name="MediaWikiAtrium"/>

	=== Second Anniversary ===		=== Second Anniversary ===
	The Oddworld Library celebrated its second anniversary since its official launch on <time datetime="2008-04-01">1st April 2008</time>. To mark the occasion, its archive of press interviews returned in a new section of The Oddworld Archives, called ‘<b>The Oddworld Scriptures</b>’, developed by Wil. In addition, although only 1 new article had been published on The Oddworld Encyclopedia since its first month, TOE was updated with 8 new ~~article~~, 3 navigational pages and 1 updated article. This updated article on [[Fleech]]es was the first to use a reference list of cited sources, and came with a button to hide the inline citations if visitors found them annoying.

	Wil first began working on an Oddworld fansite in 2000. His first attempt was a webpage on the early webhosting service Xoom, which he called ‘'''The Kennels'''’.
