The wiki was started on the 24th September 2005 by Postbagboy who didn't make a single main space edit and left.  Since then, the wiki has gone through several transformations, getting a new skin in the beginning of 2010 and a new team of admins.

On the 24th September 2010, Wikisimpsons had its fifth birthday.  In October 2010, a decision was made to split away from [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]] and become hosted on [[ShoutWiki]].  This was due to a new skin released by Wikia and arguments with the staff.  Solar Dragon became the founder and steward of this new wiki. In June 2011, Wikisimpsons completed its move to independence. It now runs on {{tag|MediaWiki}} with a nice custom skin. It has since grown very quickly, now beating it's Wikia competitor by over 10,000 articles.

For April Fools Day 2012, it was "changed" to a Family Guy Wiki for a day. On project pages, many words like "Homer" and "The Simpsons" were changed to their Family Guy equivalent.
