New page

{{hatnote|This page documents the historical PHP-Nuke Encyclopedia module on the official Players Committee site swccgpc.com (archived 2008). It is not a card-by-card encyclopedia and does not replace live card pages on this wiki.}}

The '''swccgpc.com Encyclopedia''' was a PHP-Nuke '''Encyclopedia''' module on the official Star Wars CCG Players Committee website at [http://www.swccgpc.com/ swccgpc.com]. A Wayback Machine capture dated '''31 August 2008''' presents the module as a '''player-resource hub''' (rules, virtual cards, tournaments, volunteers, tools, store, and premium membership)—not an A–Z card encyclopedia with letter indexes.<ref name="enc2008">[https://web.archive.org/web/20080831140913/http://www.swccgpc.com/modules.php?name=Encyclopedia Encyclopedia], swccgpc.com modules.php?name=Encyclopedia (Wayback, 31 August 2008)</ref>

Parent narrative: [[History of the Players Committee]]. Domain context: [[Swccgpc.com]]. Advocate roster from the Volunteer category: [[Players Committee advocates#Snapshot ~August 2008 (Encyclopedia Volunteer Information)]].

== What it was (Aug 2008) ==

The Encyclopedia index introduces a '''list of available Encyclopedias''' (PHP-Nuke categories / ''eid'' values). Wayback CDX for <code>modules.php?name=Encyclopedia*</code> in this era collapses to the '''index''' plus '''nine''' <code>op=list_content&eid=…</code> category URLs—'''no''' letter-index or per-card article URLs in the checked Internet Archive samples.<ref name="enc2008" />

* This wiki's Decipher Glossary / Supplement errata face work is a different source layer; do not conflate Encyclopedia hub links with Decipher printed errata faces.

== Gaps ==

* Individual download file bodies (PDF lids) are '''not''' mirrored on this page—only the Encyclopedia HTML hub structure is summarized here.
* Two category HTML mirrors (eid=6, eid=10) had intermittent Wayback TLS failures during the 25 September 2026 research pass; category '''titles and on-index body text''' for those eids are still taken from the captured Encyclopedia '''index''' (31 Aug 2008), which embeds the category content.
* No claim that the Encyclopedia module launched on a specific date beyond what dated captures show.
