In 2020, Kid Aces, winner of Fandom's Editor of the Year 2020, served as a bureaucrat for Nukapedia. She spearheaded many beneficial changes to Nukapedia and its Discord server. This included removing misinformation, head-canon, poorly written articles and making the community LGBTQ+ friendly and welcoming to all. Some believed the changes to the wiki to be "stomping on creativity" and that the changes negatively impacted the wiki's SEO (Search Engine Optimization), which caused Fandom's archived wiki, The Vault, to trump the wiki in search results. | In 2020, Kid Aces, winner of Fandom's Editor of the Year 2020, served as a bureaucrat for Nukapedia.

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.

Many Nukapedia users, editors and staff resigned to join the new one out of solidarity. Findabair joined her as a bureaucrat for the newly founded wiki. In the following months, to attain guidance and help, the wiki began conversing with other independent wiki communities, such as the [[NIWA]], [[Halopedia]] and the [[Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages]]. On May 27, 2022, the Mod space was introduced, designed to cater to modders and to allow ''Fallout'' mods to have dedicated pages. In early June, all content from Nukapedia was successfully forked over. On October 27, 2022, the Community space was created, allowing fanon content such as fanfiction, fan art, screenshots, artwork, PnP documents and ''Fallout 76'' C.A.M.P. pages. | Many Nukapedia users, editors and staff resigned to join the new one out of solidarity.
