'''Unofficial Discord:''' A discord server created by Grady964 on November 26th, 2016. At some point, an invite link to the server was put on the Spawn Box and since then it has amassed 1,031 members(most of which are inactive). 

The link was removed from the Spawn Box on September 24th, 2021(''though it can still be found at other locations, such as [https://www.yourworldoftext.com/~help /~help])''.

Grady964's server is considered "unofficial" as it is not affiliated with [[Andrew Badr]], the creator of YWOT. It does, however, contain many notable users such as Infraraven(a YWOT admin) and /~fp/(an OWOT developer).

'''[[Forexample|/forexample:]]''' Has been included as an example for how to create subpages since YWOT's creation in 2009.<ref>https://www.andrewbadr.com/yourworld/</ref>

'''OWOT:''' Our World of Text is a sister site to YWOT which has more features(Ex. pasting, teleporting, a global chat, a zoom slider, colors).

The original OWOT was created by Andrew Badr in 2010.<ref>https://x.com/yourworldoftext/status/15743326242</ref> In 2015, ownership of OWOT was transferred to user /~JerryStarField/ who would manage the site until its closure in late 2016. A new OWOT was created later that year under new ownership(presumably Infraraven though /~fp/ is also involved as a developer).

'''[[Deep City]]:''' The city at [X:0 Y:-1000]. Deep City is one of the most popular landmarks in YWOT as scrolling straight down is an intuitive instinct for most users.

'''fog/lag:''' Lag in YWOT is commonly referred to as fog due to it taking the form of grey chunks. Most often the fog is barely noticeable, but sometimes it becomes a serious issues; you'll learn about those instances somewhere lower on the iceberg.

'''[[Sky City]]:''' The city at [X:0 Y:1000]. Sky City is perhaps the most popular landmark in YWOT as scrolling up is an even greater temptation than scrolling down.

'''[[The Nirvana|The Nirvana:]]''' The city at [X:0 Y:10000], which most travelers see as the final destination of the [[North Road]]. Very few users reach the Nirvana legitimately, with most people teleporting to it or hearing about it from someone else.

Unlike Sky City or Deep City, the city at Y:10000 has been named Nirvana since [[North Road (2010 Archive)|2010]]. As a result it has the longest history out of any landmarks in YWOT. 

'''[[North Road|North]] + [[South Road|South]] Roads:''' The two most popular roads in all of YWOT as most users would rather scroll up/down then right/left.

'''[https://www.reddit.com/r/Textworldexplorers/ r/textworldexplorers:]''' The most popular YWOT subreddit(which isn't saying a lot). 

r/textworldexplorers was created in 2012 by travelers of the [[Msernst|/msernst]] line. Its original purpose has been largely forgotten, however, and today it acts as a general YWOT forum.

'''TV Tropes:''' Your World of Text's [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Website/YourWorldOfText TV Tropes page] was created by Yosicat in July 14th, 2022.

'''OWOP:''' Our World of Pixels is an infinite pixel canvas that draws its naming format from YWOT and OWOT. OWOP is owned by Infraraven and has what seems to be the largest userbase out of all the "[X] World of [Y]" sites, being present on both the 2022 and 2023 r/place canvases.

'''[[Andrew Badr|Andrew Badr:]]''' Created YWOT in 2009.

'''YWOT Twitter:''' Linked on the "''[https://www.yourworldoftext.com/home/ About Your World of Text]''" page. The YWOT Twitter is where Andrew Badr announces updates to the site.

'''Fandom Wiki:''' You were there, now you are on the new wiki.

The YWOT Fandom Wiki was created sometime in 2010 and has been dead for the vast majority of its history. The original admin, an enigmatic user named [[Special:Contributions/Akiake|Akiake]], last touched the wiki on September 12th, 2010 and has not been seen ever since. 

Despite being dead, the Fandom wiki still shows up when you google "''Your World of Text''" and as a result it has received sporadic updates over the years. 

Several events relating to the YWOT Fandom wiki are featured lower in the iceberg.
