{{{#!wiki caution
As Calica noted below, '''this page is mostly broken.''' I'm probably going to substantially rewrite it at some point in the next week or two, so don't worry about it. It'll be fine.
Yes, I'm adding this note partly so I will see this every time I load the wiki and be reminded to overhaul all of this.

== What is this? ==
A long time ago, in a boring place called Ohio, an autistic nerd named [[users/CentralAvenue|CentralAvenue]] got bored and made up a country, with herself as its omnipotent, immortal ruler. For some reason, all her friends decided to play along, and pretty soon they had a collaborative worldbuilding project on their hands. Thus, [[Centralia]] was born!
== A brief overview ==
[[Centralia]] is a fantasy kingdom (or, technically, a principality) ruled by [[PrincessAlice]], a [[Asterian|magical alien]] from a faraway planet with the appearance and apparent maturity of a human child. Princess Alice, being a construct of pure magic, has immense supernatural ability...which she mostly uses to torment adults for her own amusement. To learn how to control and more effectively use her powers, Princess Alice attends [[DameAdorabellesAcademy]], a magical boarding school that's about as pretentious as you would expect. When she's not at school, the princess can be found at her official residence, the [[PalaceOfSerenity]], in [[QueenCity]], Centralia's capital.
The nature of Centralia, and the world it inhabits, is intentionally fluid: we are literally making it up as we go along. It's all one big game of make-believe. It doesn't have to make any sense, and any unfortunate implications can simply be swept aside in the name of childlike whimsy. That is to say: I'm the main character, and even ''I'' don't take it too seriously, so you shouldn't either.

''You hear a strange feline voice coming from somewhere.''
Meow! I'm sorry I have to say this, but I think there might be some issues with this particular collection of pages. There is a way to get to the tag pages even so, though.
Change the URL from `https://centralia.covering.space/CategoryFhqwhgads` to `https://centralia.covering.space/+tags/CategoryFhqwhgads` and it'll be all copacetic...at least if the tag still exists under that name! Some of them have been moved to remove the "Category" part, page by page.
You can also use the "tags" link somewhere near the "MyStartingPage" to go to the main [[+tags]] page. We're working on making it more properly workable!

== Can I contribute? ==
Most of the content on this wiki was written by me, [[users/CentralAvenue|CentralAvenue]], but I do accept contributions from friends. I love it when people get invested enough in my game of make-believe to want to play along!
Registration for new user accounts on this wiki is currently broken, but if you contact me, I can get one set up for you. Alternatively, if you only want to contribute one or two articles, you can simply send the content to me, and I will add it myself. In either event, you will be credited for your contributions.
I feel like I'm expected to put contact info here, but I worry about spammers, and truthfully, like...if you're not already in contact with me elsewhere, what are you even doing here? How did you find this wiki? And why do you care??
