She also led a clean up of the wiki's Discord to make it LGBTQ+ friendly and welcoming to all. Many users believed the wiki was "stomping on creativity" and that SEO (Search Engine Optimization) was being negatively impacted, causing the archived wiki, [[The Vault]], to appear in top search results, among other things. | ||
On April 1, 2022, Aces was demoted and globally banned from FANDOM for a year. FANDOM, in the past and recently, have been criticized for banning wiki staff for invalid reasons and without warning. Herself and many other users felt the ban to be entirely unjust. Rather than appealing, Aces and Eckserah, Nukapedia's technical lead, began discussing the idea of an independent wiki. On April 7, 2022, the Discord, then called "Project Shmodex", was created, and on April 8, 2022, the '''Independent Fallout Wiki''' was officially founded. Eckserah handled all technical aspects of the wiki fork, while Kate handled the wiki editing spectrum. As an inside joke, the Discord was renamed to "Schmault-Tec". | On April 1, 2022, Aces was demoted and globally banned from FANDOM for a year.
