Fallout Wiki is an encyclopedia by, and for, the fans of Fallout based on the wiki concept, which allows anyone to edit the articles.
History
In 2005, Fallout Wiki wiki was set up by Ausir and DarkUnderlord, and was originally hosted by Duck and Cover, a Fallout fansite at the address wiki.duckandcover.cx, then vault.duckandcover.cx. Later, it was moved to a different server, but was still hosted by Taluntain, the host of Duck and Cover, at falloutvault.com.
In 2007, because the original host could no longer take the wiki constantly being targeted for various exploits by spammers as well as other attackers, Fallout Wiki moved to Wikia, where it has independently from any other Fallout website. Since the release of Fallout 3 in 2008, it became one of the most popular Wikia gaming wikis.
In November 2011, Fallout Wiki was moved to FalloutWiki.com, hosted by Curse. This wiki, hosted by Wikia, is a copy of its contents up to that date.
Administrators
The main administrators (bureaucrats) are Ausir, Porter21, Gothemasticator and GhostAvatar. For the full list of Fallout Wiki's administrators, see: Fallout Wiki:Administrators.
