Despite kuz's purchase of soyjak.party on July 16, 2022, the wiki continued to stay owned by soot until exactly one month later, when it was sold to Angeleno. Soyjak Wiki has since then grown to 1,295 articles and 109,819 total edits.

- If you're on mobile, click the arrow next to edit then click "add topic" in the dropdown menu. Then type in what you want to tell that user.
To E-mail a user, follow this visual guide. This is good if you are trying to message an inactive user.
- NOTE: You need to make sure you confirmed your e-mail address or else this won't work; this can be checked in your preferences. The user you are sending an e-mail must also confirm his or her address, and have e-mail active, too. NOTE that doing this will reveal your e-mail address to the recipient.

Have I been banned?
You can see if you're banned by attempting to edit any page. If you are banned, this will show up.
My IP address was banned but I didn't do anything wrong!
That's probably because you are on a dynamic IP address, if your IP is banned, leave a message on your talk page explaining such. You can also create an account or log in as IP bans do not apply to logged in accounts.
How do I appeal my ban?
If you would like to appeal a ban, simply put a message on your own talk page explaining why your ban should be lifted. You'll then get a response from an admin a while later either removing your ban, reducing your ban length, or simply telling you that your appeal was flat out denied.
You can also use the email feature to appeal your ban if you have not been blocked from using it.
