Lost Media Wiki is a wiki created in 2012 by the user Daniel "Dycaite" Wilson to list and organize lost media. The site also promotes events to search for specific lost media.

Creation

The idea for the site emerged in 2011 when Dycaite participated in an online investigation forum on the 4chan website about paranormal subjects, after discovering the 2000 film called Cry Baby Lane , which had been broadcast on Nickelodeon. In 2012, Dycaite founded the Lost Media Wiki group, after a suggestion from one of the members to move his personal list to a complete website. ^[1]

Reception

As of April 21, 2020, the site recorded over 3,000 items separated into categories of found, partially found, and lost. ^[2]

The site also organizes searches for specific media in online forums and petitions for the archiving of other content. One of the most notable campaigns promoted by the site was the search for the removed cutscene from the PlayStation game Spider-Man 2: Enter: Electro and the prototype for the video game sequel to George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four . ^[3]
