Grangology Wiki

**Welcome to the Grangology Wiki!**
**Welcome to Grangology Wiki. Compared the official googology wiki, this wiki is far less rigorous and more of a sandbox wiki than an enyclopedia. We want to allow users to tinker with their own notations, googolisms, discoveries, and other works of googology and apeirology to their hearts content on official recognizable pages with minimal hinderance and no need of professional rigorous proof or formalization as long as pages are of reasonable quality.** You can also visit the Official Googology Wiki, our more rigorous counterpart, and the wiki owner's website. We currently have 80 articles.

This site is best viewed on desktop and on dark mode. It is owned by CompactStar. Wikis like this one depend on readers getting involved and adding content. Click the "ADD NEW PAGE" or "EDIT" button at the top of any page to get started!

## Rules of this wiki

* **Keep it civil**: Do not make personal attacks on other people. If you need to criticize another user’s argument, do so without attacking them as a person. Avoid uncivil language such as swearing and pejoratives (ex. f\*ck, f\*ggot, etc.) at all costs.
* **Be a productive member of the wiki**: Contribute to the wiki in line with the established processes and conventions. Need help? Ask an administrator! Disrupting the wiki with “edit warring” over differing opinions of a topic with another user or group of users is not productive. Do not vandalize pages or destroy large portions of them with no explanation.
* **Do not engage in excessive self-promotion**: The wiki is a collaborative community resource for the topic at hand. It is NOT a free place to advertise your related website, YouTube channel, blog, social media account, etc. Have a question about whether your link would be welcome? Ask an administrator!
* **Quality and Sources**: Although sourcing your pages or making is NOT mandatory, we encourage you to add sources and evidence for your page content. Also please make sure your page has reasonable quality. We want to avoid this wiki bloating with copious amounts of low quality pages. Low quality pages will be converted into blog posts.
* **Do not harass other users**: If somebody asks you to stop posting certain content on their wall, respect their wishes. It is their wall.
* **Do follow community guidelines for formatting**: When a community has established formatting, it’s important to adhere to that, especially when spoiler content is involved.
* **Irrelevant pages**: Pages on this wiki should be related to the topic of googology. We generally allow small numbers as some have applications in googology. Fictional googology (numbers beyond absolute infinity is considered off-topic, please refer to a relevant wiki such as The Number Repository or Fictional Googology Wiki. Additionally, pages that are spam or consist of no meaningful content will be deleted.

### Conventions

The short scale is the default -illion scale on the wiki due to more common usage, although it is highly recommend that the long scale version is mentioned if it exists, as in the page quadrillion:

"A quadrillion is equal to the cardinal number 1,000,000,000,000,000 or 1015 in the short scale. In the long scale, this number is known as a billiard, whereas quadrillion refers to 1024."

Conflicting names between the short scale-based Jonathan Bowers' -illions and the long scale-based Epstein system names should have parentheses in the title to disambiguate, such as Megillion (Bowers) and Megillion (Epstein) (also applies to other conflicting names).
