DEGwiki:About

Welcome to the Dir En Grey Wiki!

History

The Dir En Grey Wiki (or DEGwiki) was born in 2017 out of my desire to have an accurate source of Dir En Grey lyrics and their official translations. The wiki was originally hosted on Wikia/FANDOM at https://direngrey.fandom.com/wiki/Dir_En_Grey_Wiki. However, due to various changes to their software, site policies and other factors, I decided to leave Wikia/FANDOM and asked inartistic (the owner of vk.gy) to host this wiki instead. The migration took place during the Winter holidays of 2020 and at the end of the year, this new site at https://degwiki.com was made public. However, due to many bad experiences with spam bots in the past, I decided to close registration to the public.

Goal

In the years since the wiki's creation, it grew to include information on the Dir En Grey's early days, from their formation in 1997 to their major debut in 1999, as well as the members' previous bands and side projects. My goal is to provide a supplementary source of information for the Dir En Grey fans. As such, you won't find any copyrighted audio or video on this website. Please refer to DEGwiki:General disclaimer for my copyright disclaimer.
