	Originally published in 1994, '''''The Discworld Companion''''' has gone through several editions as the series expands to cover more ground and add more places, characters, locations and concepts. The First Edition also had quite a few errors in it, which have been progressively corrected in subsequent versions as they came to light. ~~No doubt~~ the Companion ~~will be revised again as new books come on stream, and it can safely be said that there will ''never'' be an absolutely~~ final ~~last version... just like this wiki~~, in ~~fact~~.		Originally published in 1994, '''''The Discworld Companion''''' has gone through several editions as the series expands to cover more ground and add more places, characters, locations and concepts. The First Edition also had quite a few errors in it, which have been progressively corrected in subsequent versions as they came to light. Unlike this wiki, which continues to be updated (albeit sporadically), the Companion did have a final edition: {{UDC}}, published in 2021.

	~~It is worth noting~~ that the Companion has an entry on [[William de Worde]]~~- although it merely serves as an annotation-~~ six years before {{TT}} came out.		The introduction to the updated edition mentions that additional material was drawn from “The Pit”, the large collection of Discworld notes on Pratchett’s hard drive, which explains how the Companion has a (brief) entry on [[William de Worde]] six years before {{TT}} came out.
