	WikiPaintball is beginning with New Zealand and Malta, where the ~~project has~~ existing knowledge, historical material and connections within the paintball community.		WikiPaintball aims to document and preserve paintball history from around the world.

			The project is beginning with '''[[Paintball in New Zealand\|New Zealand]]''' and '''[[Paintball in Malta\|Malta]]''', where we have the most existing knowledge, historical material and connections within the paintball community.

			These are our starting points, not our limits. As more contributors and historical records become available, WikiPaintball will expand its coverage across every continent.

	As the encyclopedia ~~grows, our aim is to document the sport's history across the world.~~		Browse the encyclopedia by region:
