With a deep history from the FANDOM Fallout Wiki [[Nukapedia]], various community members decided to fork into independence due to many of the decisions and policies the parent company, FANDOM, had put in place. It was subsequently founded on April 8, 2022.

It was subsequently founded on April 8, 2022 and entered early access on October 23, 2022.


Many of FANDOM and Nukapedia's own decisions were actively hostile and unjust towards the community, which included intrusive ads and trackers, lack of customization, forced features with no opt-out, misinformation and head-canon on articles, heavy focus on SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and much more. Independence has allowed the wiki to create beneficial policies, features and content pages that seeks to provide a friendlier and nonintrusive experience with zero tolerance for head-canon and misinformation. The wiki is extremely inclusive towards the LGBTQ+, GRSM, Plural and Otherkin communities and it welcomes such members with open arms.
