Throughout the Cicada puzzle series, users have worked hard to solve and document their progress, but occasionally some of that information gets lost, is not considered useful at the time, or old archived links stop working, or people who were around just forget - leading to missing information.
The following is an incomplete list of missing or unknown information on the wiki. If you have information about one of these entries (an archived copy, or your memory of the event), please speak up in Discord or the Talk page.
