User Safety - Unaffiliated “Hitchhiker’s Wiki Discord”
Hello all!
I do hope everyone in our little community has been keeping as well as they can be during this tumultuous year. Understandably editing has slowed down during 2020 but I’m glad to see it as it means our users are prioritising real life things and that’s more important.
I just wanted to make you aware that a user who has been permanently banned from the Hitchhiker’s Wiki for refusing to follow guidelines, harassment, and quite frankly a lot of self entitled and disrespectful behaviour is back to attention seeking in all the wrong ways.
A day after receiving a permanent ban the user CarverSindile started their latest attempt to clamour for attention and continue their affiliation with our Wiki by creating what they and no one else is…
Hitchhiker's Video Game Art
Hi all!
If you're reading this I hope you've been able to keep safe during everything that's been happening in the world. Understandably many FANDOM editors, myself included, have had to put our personal lives and work before our editing and I hope people are able to continue to focus on making themselves a priority as much as possible!
Just thought I'd share some of the original art from the manual and promo material for the 1984 Hitchhiker's video game that I stumbled across recently! I'd never seen it before and I hope it's interesting to some other people out there!

Hitchhiker's turns 42!
Hello my fellow Megadodo staff!
I'm a few days late but, well, time is a construct and all that - anyway on 8th March we celebrated 42 years of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy which first aired on that day in 1978!
Pan Macmillan has reprinted the scripts and novels in colourful new 42nd anniversary editions, the British Library hosted a bunch of events, and BBC Radio 4 aired the original episodes - it's wonderful to know that Hitchhiker's still has such an enduring fanbase and isn't going away anytime soon!
BBC Radio 4 extra had a great one hour special to celebrate the 42nd anniversary which might interest you - it's all about other sci-fi podcasts, with Rachel Wheeley from The Strange Case of Starship Iris which is a podcast I'd recommend…
42 Medals!
Hello all, hope you and your towels are keeping well!
Just wanted to congratulate us all for earning a total of 42 Milliways Medals between us!
Keep up the great work, folks!

Happy Hitchhiker Holidays 2019!
Hey all, hope your winter is going well and happy holidays to all celebrating something this time of year!
Just wanted to thank everyone who has helped out on the Wiki this year, and I'm not going anywhere soon - I'll be joining you all in this new year (and new decade!) and still trying to keep the Hitchhiker's Wiki in tip top condition!
It is a shame that we've lost some regular contributors - but life is busy and it's very understandable when people have to put other things in front of volunteering to edit Wikis for free, it is just a hobby for most after all! I'm so grateful to anyone who has been here to help with putting some life back into this Wiki - it's come so far since when I first adopted it. I apologise for being busy especiall…
