FAQ
Guides questions
Where to start, what the recorded routes are, and where code and loading answers live.
Which WikiRace guide should I read first?
If you have never raced, read How to Play & Controls for the laptop interface, lobby rules, and why search is disabled. If you know the basics but lose races, the Speedrun Strategy guide's hub routing is the highest-leverage next read.
Are the recorded routes in these guides official?
No. Every route chain on this site was read off dated creator gameplay footage, with the video and timestamp listed on each entry. Best times get beaten and the article set is filtered live content, so treat chains as dated samples rather than official records.
Where do I check current codes and their evidence?
The codes page keeps a dated evidence timeline: what the official description announced, when our own checks ran, and which public reports the current status stands on — with the limits of each labelled.
An article in a race won't load — which guide helps?
The Articles Not Loading guide splits the two causes apart: topics the game's automated filtering removed (no fix will produce them) versus real loading failures (a rejoin or connection check usually resolves).
