The idea of the project was first conceived circa 19 March 2008. At that time, the working name was SpiritWorldWiki, a reference to the idea that there might be more than two places articles could go (good articles going to heaven (Wikipedia) and bad articles going to hell (deletion); SpiritWorldWiki could be a destination for articles that are neither good enough for the [[wikipedia:Celestial Kingdom|Celestial Kingdom]] (Wikipedia) nor bad enough for the [[wikipedia:Telestial Kingdom|Telestial Kingdom]] (deletion), but rather could go to the [[wikipedia:Spirit world (Latter Day Saints)|Spirit World]] (SpiritWorldWiki) while awaiting their final destination. Some might end up in the [[wikipedia:Terrestrial Kingdom|Terrestrial Kingdom]] (i.e. an Inclupedia-like wiki).

Later, the working name was changed to "Wikuna Matata", a reference to the phrase "[[wikipedia:hakuna matata|hakuna matata]]", which means "without worries." This was a reference to the fact that users would have more freedom to create pages without needing to worry that they would be deleted. The name "Inclupedia" was chosen in mid-2010. | Later, the working name was changed to "Wikuna Matata", a reference to the phrase "[[wikipedia:hakuna matata|hakuna matata]]", which means "without worries."
