'''The Elder Scrolls Fanon Wiki''', or '''Tesfanon''', was a database for [[:Category:Elder Scrolls|Elder Scrolls]] [[:Category:Fanon|fan-creations]]. This included fan-fiction, fan-created mods, fan-films, etc. This old [[Wikia]] wiki is now abandoned in favor of a new wiki hosted at [[YourWiki]] (please see [[Elder Scrolls Fanon (YourWiki)]]). | |||

==History== | |||
===Early history=== | |||
[[wikia:c:tesfanon:User:George Skywalker|George Skywalker]] requested the creation of Elder Scrolls Fanon on August 16, 2007. The request was accepted by [[Wikia]] on August 21, 2007, and George became the wiki's first administrator. Growth of the wiki remained relatively slow until the August of 2008 when [[wikia:c:tesfanon:User:Darth Storm|Darth Storm]] and [[wikia:c:tesfanon:User:Michaeldsuarez|Michaeldsuarez]] arrived at the wiki and become administrator. In least than a year, over five hundred articles were created. | |||
===Move to YourWiki=== | |||
After switching to the [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0 Creative Commons Attributions Share-Alike 3.0] license in the June 2009, Michaeldsuarez decided that Tesfanon grew as much as it could under Wikia, so he decided to look for an alternative [[wiki farm]] to host them. After closely examining many possible candidates, Michaeldsuarez decided that [[YourWiki]] should be Tesfanon's new home. Michaeldsuarez raised the possible for a move in a forum, and the wiki's community unanimously decided to move to YourWiki. | |||
Tesfanon moved to YourWiki on July 16, 2009, but the [[Elder Scrolls Fanon (YourWiki)|new wiki]] remained closed to non-administrative for about a week for some repairs. On July 22, the new wiki was opened for edits. | |||
Due to Wikia's policy against closing down abandoned wikis, the [old Wikia site remains open to edits. However, the old wiki at Wikia is not maintained any longer. | |||
