It's been over three months since I last did this, but now I am going to put something out there that has intrigued me, and also to celebrate a milestone. An internal milestone that is.

Learn Something About This Wikia #7 - List of Levels Page's First Incarnation
The List of Levels page is the biggest page on Candy Crush Saga Wikia. But, it has just hit a total of 200,000 bytes of data!! That's a heck of a lot of data for a wikia page. The Levels page itself only has about 17,500 bytes and my profile page about 50,000.

But the List of Levels page as we know it wasn't always the way it was.

I remember that morning, May 24 2013, where I sat down and decided to make the List of Levels page. This was long, LONG before any individual level pages were starting to be created, and you want to know why I created the List of Levels page? To avoid pages for individual levels. At the time, I felt it was a bad idea and it would take 4 years to make a page for every level (now I laugh at my past self).

The List of Levels page, as of writing this blog post, has been edited almost 1000 times.

But what did the very FIRST incarnation of the List of Levels page look like?

It consisted of only 547 bytes, and looked like this:



Look at that! Not even a list! Now take a look at the List of Levels page, now with 373 times more content!

I don't really touch the List of Levels page much and the new List of Levels page layout was all created by the awesome community! There was a time where there was a complete table of Levels, but only that. A generic table with the information written in black text only about each level.

Incidentally, this page also gave rise to the difficulty system you see on each level page. Back when the page was as mentioned above, some levels had "A considerably hard Level" written in their notes, others had "A very hard level", and others had "An extremely hard level". Was this the embryo of the difficulty system? Well, it was for most difficulties above "Medium" anyway!
