The Clone Wars:April Fools' Day 2013

Early on April 1, 2013, it was announced by Administrator, Bane7670 that The Clone Wars Wiki had been issued a cease and desist order by the Legal Department of Lucasfilm Ltd.—recently acquired by Disney, who had cancelled Star Wars: The Clone Wars—because of which the wiki would be shut down on April 5th, 2013. As a result, many users began to think about relocating all of the progress made on this wiki to a backup site, so as to preserve it.

Many other discussions on the ethics of this order were sparked as well, causing much rage and discontent on blogs. Though discussions for backup wikis and importing files from here did begin, no action was taken in this regard.
