[httphttps://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/?topic,=5605.0.html In February 2009], Glitch City Laboratories wiki was started as a secret project. The wiki was officially revealed on November 14, 2009 and replaced the old site entirely [httphttps://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/?topic,=5968.0.html on March 28, 2010].
 
Glitch City Laboratories was closed for maintenance on December 10, 2010. The maintenance mainly concerned the integration of the forums and the wiki, where the wiki sidebar was added to the forums (see the images below). Variations of Bulbasaur based on [[??????????]]'s "golden Bulbasaur" appearance were added as icons on the board index at some point.

==Mascot==
[[File:Y Hooked Metapod.png|frame|right|The hooked Metapod in Yellow, as caused by a [[Super Glitch#Super Glitch items|Super Glitch item]].]]
[[The Hooked Metapod|The hooked Metapod]] is the 'official' mascot of Glitch City Laboratories.
 
On January 20, 2008 a Glitch City Laboratories forums poll called [httphttps://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/?topic,=2990.0.html DA MASCOT FINALS!!1] was started where members discussed whether the mascot should be changed, but the consensus was not to change it. Other 'contestants' were "The Orange Glove" and "Ploison Decamark".
 
On June 3, 2009 another poll called "Mascot Elections 2009: Tie Breaker Election." was started by Photon-Phoenix. The hooked Metapod won again. Other contestants were "Desu Mario" and "The Orange Glove". The former was criticized by Abwayax for being non-Pokémon related. He also said the latter was "a shitty 4chan meme", but in fact The Orange Glove was made into a GIF by Newo after someone thought it was a glitch.
