Were you looking for a factual account of the MIPS Hole Wiki, rather than its MHHQ portrayal?

This page is apart of the MIPS Hole HQ canon, a piece of joke canon revolving around the concept of MIPS Hole as a physical company.

MIPS Hole Wiki, known colloquially in MIPS Hole HQ as “the public site”, is an adaptation of the database designed for public viewing. Changes made to it are generally reflected in the database, and vice versa. However, there are a few notable differences readers should be aware of.

Differences between the public and private databases

 * Due to the necessity of being viewable in the Non-Anomalous Zone, the public site exists in a non-anomalous platform known as FANDOM.
 * Page tags become categories, with templates for “special tags”.
 * The server becomes forum threads.
 * Due to the Non-Anomalous Zone being under the jurisdiction of the Nintendo Ninjas, the public site was specifically flavored as a fictional collaborative writing project based on the lore revolving around the Super Mario 64 iceberg. Cases where SM64 Lore reached incorrect conclusions and were corrected here are describes as “deviations from the original lore”. This is to make it impossible for the Ninjas to win a lawsuit which would result in the removal of the public site.
 * For this reason, files specifically about incidents in MHHQ, or the inner workings of MHHQ were not ported to the public site at all.
 * However, there are plans for subpages to be used to sneak some files on such incidents or workings of MHHQ into, under the guise of a “joke canon”. Given that joke files already exist and are kept, it wasn’t much of a stretch. This also allows mention of anomalous physical phenomenon without technically breaking the ACA’s rules on anomalous knowledge being sent to the Non-Anomalous Zone. However, pages specifically about the anomalies themselves, unrelated to MHHQ, are still completely outside of the public site.
 * Due to the framing of the public site, some employees are encouraged to sometimes “break character”, and to discuss “creating” anomalies as opposed to “documenting” anomalies.
 * Users are to attempt to follow the rules of FANDOM on the public site. While getting globally blocked does not always result in termination, it does make you unable to partake in the public site, and we cannot do anything to reverse these blocks. Repeated blocks make termination more likely, however.

Purpose
The main purpose of the public site is to serve as a place for people within the NAZ to be able to submit reports directly to us. If reports are generally accurate, and are of new anomalies, they may be recruited into HQ proper.
