On 19 October 2018, Wikipedia user YoYoHa588 replaced Westarctica's redirect page on Wikipedia with a paragraph-long article heavily supported (line-by-line) with sources. This great hero of our nation, whose identity is still unknown, also included a link directly to Encyclopedia Westarctica, thereby making this encyclopedia a source for Wikipedia. | On 19 October 2018, Wikipedia user ''YoYoHa588'' replaced Westarctica's redirect page on Wikipedia with a paragraph-long article heavily supported (line-by-line) with sources.

==Legacy== | |||
Encyclopedia Westarctica has inspired other micronationalists to create their own wikis, such as the Principality of the Northern Forests, who copied many of their digital assets directly from Westarctica's. | |||
In 2021, Grand Duke Travis used the shell of Encyclopedia Westarctica to create a "sister wiki" called the Occult Encyclopedia, a resource for mystical and arcane knowledge. | |||
