Webkinz Wiki:Sources

The first articles of this wiki were written in November 2026 from one source alone: the files of webkinz.com kept in the Flashpoint Archive (Flashpoint Ultimate 14), listed on the Game files page. Every footnote names the file that the statement rests on. The official website as archived by the Wayback Machine has not yet been fetched or read, and nothing was taken from fan sites or from memory. Much is therefore missing. Dates are absent altogether: the files do not say when Webkinz opened, when any game was added or removed, or whether the site is still running. The company's own description of the world is missing except for the few sentences of a tour for newcomers. Almost everything outside the Arcade games is missing too: the pets by name, the rooms, the shop and its items, the places of Webkinz World, the events, the membership and the toys themselves appear here only where a game or the tour happens to mention them. Most of the files are Flash programs in which only scattered sentences can be read, so what an article says of a game is what its instructions and messages say, and an entry whose file holds no readable sentences has only a stub that says what is preserved. The titles of the games and videos are the Flashpoint Archive's unless an article says otherwise. A file shows what a game contained, not when it was online or that players saw every part of it. Where the files are silent an article says so. People who remember Webkinz are invited to fill these gaps, with sources.
