The wiki forked off from [[Nukapedia]], when [[FANDOM]] | The wiki forked off from [[Nukapedia]], when [[FANDOM]] decided to temporarily ban two of the Nukapedia administrators without warning in April 2022, for reasons that many in the community considered unjust and unprecedented at the time. Soon after, multiple editors started to discuss leaving the platform. Several options were considered, including moving to another third-party-host such as [[Miraheze]], but ultimately it was decided to go fully independent. On April 7, 2022, the Discord, then called "Project Shmodex", was created. On April 8, 2022, the '''Independent Fallout Wiki''' was officially founded by Kid Aces and Eckserah. As an inside joke, the Discord was then renamed to "Schmault-Tec". | ||
Several users joined the newly founded wiki out of solidarity. 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. | |||
