Weezerpedia is an ongoing attempt to catalogue Weezer's career, with efforts to document its [[List of Weezer songs|recorded music]], [[List of Weezer concerts|live shows]], [[Bibliography|interviews]], and more. Our site hosts {{NUMBEROFFILES}} files, some of which have been organized into [[Gallery|a large photo archive]]. These photo galleries include archives of [[Gallery:Setlists|set lists]], handwritten and other officially-released [[Gallery:Lyric sheets|lyric sheets]], [[Gallery:Merch|official merch]], and a chronology of the various [[Gallery:Equipment|pieces of musical equipment]] the band has used over the years. Musical projects associated with Weezer are also covered, with special attention paid in recent years to [[Ozma]], [[That Dog]], and the bands surrounding [[Amorphous Records]]. Bands that share a member with Weezer, including [[The Rentals]], [[The Special Goodness]], [[The Relationship]], [[Space Twins]], [[Chopper One]], and more, are covered as well. As of April 2024, Weezerpedia's longest article is [[List of Weezer concerts]]. Weezerpedia features a large archive of transcripts, album/song reviews, and more on our [[bibliography]] page. The site has built out broad coverage on [[List of bootlegs (disambiguation)|bootlegs]] of the band as well. | Weezerpedia is an ongoing attempt to catalogue Weezer's career, with efforts to document its [[List of Weezer songs|recorded music]], [[List of Weezer concerts|live shows]], [[Bibliography|interviews]], and more.

To shoulder the financial and administrative burdens of the site, Koch and the band began hosting and supporting Weezerpedia in the early 2010s{{clarify}}. Despite this, the site maintains complete editorial independence from the band. In addition to this, Weezerpedia is linked on {{PN|Weezer}} social medias and official website, [weezer.com]. These all add up to Weezerpedia being a quasi-"official" site, despite being entirely run by fans. | To shoulder the financial and administrative burdens of the site, Koch and the band began hosting and supporting Weezerpedia in the early 2010s{{clarify}}.
