The idea of Wikiscrolls was announced on January 1st, 2007 and after a few months of planning and discussion was finally started on March 19th. The site was co-founded by [http://www.uesp.net/wiki/User:Aristeo Chris Sorrells] and [http://www.uesp.net/wiki/User:Hoggwild Lisa Ridley] as a branch of the popular [[UESP]], with a similar mission to create an encyclopedia of the Elder Scrolls games. After a series of disputes over the level of etiquette expected from members of the community, the level of openness of the core community towards others, and the direction of the project itself, the founders of Wikiscrolls decided to start a new, similar project, not knowing whether how members of UESP and the Elder Scrolls community at large would react.
