The internet we were promised
June 15: An important update for readers in Japan.

You deserve an explanation, so please don't skip this 1-minute read. It's Sunday, June 15, and our fundraiser won't last long. If you've lost count of how many times you've visited Wikipedia this year, we hope that means it's given you at least ¥300 of knowledge. Please join the 2% of readers who give what they can to help keep this valuable resource ad-free, up-to-date, and available for all.

After nearly 25 years, Wikipedia is still the internet we were promised—an oasis of free and collaborative knowledge. By visiting Wikipedia today, you're choosing a free and fair internet: a space where you can find facts you need without being distracted by ads or the agendas of wealthy owners.

Most readers don't donate, so your gift matters. If Wikipedia provides you with ¥300 of knowledge, please donate ¥300 right now—or consider a monthly gift to help all year long. Thank you.

Proud host of Wikipedia and its sister sites

Launched28 June 2005[citation needed]

Megalodon (Japanese: ウェブ魚拓, "web gyotaku") is an on demand web citation service based in Japan.[2] It is owned by Affility.

Megalodon's server can be searched for "web gyotaku" or copies of web pages, by prefixing any URL with "gyo.tc"; the process checks the query against other services as well, including Google's cached pages and Mementos.[3]

On 12 November 2010, Affility revealed that all files copied before the first half of 2007 were lost because of a malfunction in their backup process.[citation needed]

Megalodon does not archive sites which include a "noindex" or "noarchive" tag in the robots.txt file.[4]
