 ==History==
-The wiki {{tag|fork}}ed off from [[Nukapedia]], when [[:Category:Wikia|FANDOM]] decided to temporarily ban two of the Nukapedia [[administrator]]s without warning in April 2022, for reasons that many in the community considered unjust and unprecedented at the time.  Soon after, multiple [[editor]]s started to discuss {{tag|Ex-Wikia|leaving the platform}}.  Several options were considered, including moving to another third-party-host such as [[:Category:Miraheze|Miraheze]], but ultimately it was decided to go fully {{tag|independent}}.  On April 7, 2022, the Discord, then called "Project Shmodex", was created.  On April 8, {{tag|Founded in 2022|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".  On April 9, 2022, the ''fallout.wiki'' domain was officially registered.<ref>[https://archive.ph/Cw2bx#selection-1295.0-1295.35 fallout.wiki domain - 9 Apr 2022]</ref>

-Several [[user]]s joined the newly founded wiki out of solidarity.  In the following months, to attain guidance and help, the wiki began conversing with other {{tag|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.<ref>[https://archive.ph/EMBtE#selection-9811.0-9913.1 Fallout Wiki Mod Namespace - 27 May 2022]</ref>  In early June, all content from Nukapedia was successfully [[fork]]ed over.  On October 27, 2022, the Community space was created, allowing {{tag|fanon}} content such as {{tag|fan fiction}}, fan art, screenshots, artwork, PnP documents, and ''Fallout 76'' C.A.M.P. pages.<ref>[https://archive.ph/bSOeA#selection-8267.0-8373.1 Fallout Wiki Community Namespace - 28 Oct 2022]</ref>
