'''The Vault™''' (previously known as '''The Vault - Fallout wiki''') is a resource for all installments of the ''{{tag|Fallout}}'' series of {{tag|video games}}.  It contains information on all aspects of the games, from items and perks, to full walkthroughs for quests and missions.

It was recently {{tag|Ex-Wikia|moved away from Wikia}} to {{tag|Gamepedia.com}}, hosted by {{tag|Curse|Curse, Inc.}}, as a result of strong disagreements with [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]]'s tact regarding changes that affected Wikia wikis globally. This, on-top of the wiki's [[founder]] getting a better paid job at Curse after leaving the Wikia staff, Ausir and many of his fellow Administrators were motivated to move to Curse.  Wikia maintains much of the original content at the old location as per their long-standing policy of allowing the remaining communities to continue their efforts without being forced to move.  Because ''The Vault'' and its logo technically belonged to Ausir since the days of being hosted by Duck and Cover, their rights were ultimately respected and Wikia's version of the Fallout wiki was soon renamed ''[[Nukapedia]]''.
;''History
{{Size <!--see Template:Size for full detail-->
On 7 February 2005, The Vault wiki was set up by Ausir (User:Ausir) and DarkUnderlord (User:DarkUnderlord), and was originally hosted by Duck and Cover, a Fallout fansite at the address <tt>wiki.DuckandCover.cx</tt>, then <tt>vault.DuckandCover.cx</tt>.  Later, it was moved to a different server, but was still hosted by Taluntain, the host of Duck and Cover, at <tt>FalloutVault.com</tt>.

In 2007, because the original host could no longer take the wiki constantly being targeted for various exploits by [[spam]]mers as well as other attackers, The Vault moved to [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]], where it was independent from any other {{tag|Fallout}} website.  Since the release of Fallout 3 in 2008, it became one of the most popular [[:Category:Wikia#Wikia portals|Wikia gaming]] wikis.

In November 2011, The Vault was {{tag|Ex-Wikia|moved away from Wikia}} to FalloutWiki.com, hosted by [[:Category:Curse|Curse, Inc.]], and in May 2013 became part of the newly created the {{tag|Gamepedia.com}} wiki farm.  This move away from Wikia was as a result of strong disagreements with Wikia's tact regarding changes that affected Wikia wiki sites globally. This, on-top of the wiki sites [[founder]] getting a better paid job at Curse after leaving the [[:Category:Wikia staff|Wikia staff]], Ausir and many of his fellow [[Administrator]]s were motivated to move to Curse.  Wikia maintained much of the original content at the old location as per their long-standing policy of allowing the remaining communities to continue their efforts without being forced to move.  Because ''The Vault'' and its logo technically belonged to Ausir since the days of being hosted by Duck and Cover, their rights were ultimately respected, and Wikia's version of the Fallout wiki was soon renamed [[Nukapedia]].

Following the purchase of the entire Gamepedia.com wiki farm by Wikia, Inc. in December 2018, The Vault - Fallout Wiki (along with all other Gamepedia.com-hosted wiki sites) were subsumed into the Wikia 'Fandom' brand (and their URLs changed to <tt>*.Fandom.com</tt>).  Its former <tt>Fallout.Gamepedia.com</tt> URL now auto-redirects to the Nukapedia site at Fandom.
