Say hello to the new and independent Fallout Wiki!

Greetings to all of you lovely wastelanders, mutants and robots alike! We come bearing an important announcement, one which might even pique the curiosity of all you nosy prospectors out there.

We’d like to introduce you to the shiny and brand spanking new, Independent Fallout Wiki.

Now, I know, you may be asking to yourself, “Wait, there’s already a Fallout Wiki out there! Why’s this one so dang special?” 

Well, if you’d bear with me for a moment, I’ll tell you why!

What is the Independent Fallout Wiki?

Well, the Independent Fallout Wiki is just about as straightforward as it sounds! We all used to be members of another wiki dedicated to Fallout, which is hosted by a company that shall remain nameless. Now, if there’s one thing you should know about this company, it’s that they have very little regard for the community, introducing changes that no one likes, hosting tons of ads and even buying out wiki editors to work for them. We find this (among other things) to be antithetical to our beliefs. We feel that wikis should be in the hands of the community, not a company that refuses to listen to us!

This reached a breaking point earlier this year, along with some events out of our control, which led to the bright idea of forking into independence and starting a new wiki! A wiki that’s truly in the hands of the community. A wiki that is self-hosted and safe from harmful, corporate interests. We don’t have shareholders to please and we don’t answer to anyone. We don’t have ads and we don’t need them, hopefully ever. Content is created by fans, for fans

We are simply wanting to provide the most reliable and accurate source of all things Fallout. We’ve even broke bread with some of the other fantastic independent wikis out there, such as Doom Wiki and Combine Overwiki whom we recommend you check out too!

What kinds of new features are we offering?

We’re glad you asked! As well as offering a trove of accurate, well sourced content about the Fallout franchise (with strict guidelines to ensure the best possible content quality, as all wikis should), we’re offering a new Community space. This will be a place for the community to host all kinds of fan works, such as fanfiction, fan art, creations, roleplaying and tabletop games, pen and paper games, Fallout 76 player CAMPs and, much, much more.

As mentioned before, we have affiliated with many other independent wiki projects, including the Doom Wiki, Combine OverWiki, JoJo’s Bizarre Encyclopedia, StrategyWiki, Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages, and even Halopedia! We’re also proud members of the Gaming Wiki Network, and soon, we’ll even be affiliated with NIWA, the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance. These affiliations will offer mutual aid and support that will help every wiki in the short-term and long-term. We are looking forward to working with them, for we all share the same goals!

How can we help and how can we be apart of the community?

We welcome anyone who wishes to join our community. It doesn’t matter if you’re an editor or reader. We are all fans of Fallout and we encourage you to join our community! If you are a non-editor and are only looking for information about something from the Fallout franchise, click this here link! https://fallout.wiki/wiki/Fallout_Wiki/

If you are interested in becoming an editor and want to fight the good fight to help rewrite content and smashing misinformation and head-canon, click this other here link! https://fallout.wiki/wiki/Special:UserLogin

While you’re there, check out our LGBTQ representation page. It was written by the lovely robot, C0NN1E here on Tumblr!: 

https://fallout.wiki/wiki/LGBTQ_representation_in_Fallout

We welcome all members of the LGBTQ+, MOGAI, GSRM, Plural and Otherkin communities with open arms!

Last, but not least, if you’d like to be apart of our wider social community, you can follow us here on Tumblr, on Twitter, check out our Instagram or join our Discord, right here below, right now! We even got a fresh, custom invite link!

Well, that about wraps up this little segment of ours. We hope you enjoy this project as much as we do. We put a lot of time, effort and care into it and we want to give back to the people that we love the most, the community. Have safe travels out there, and we hope to see you around!

END OF BROADCAST

After several false starts, one high holiday, and accidentally uninstalling PHP entirely through cpanel somehow, I am happy to say the IWATEX wiki (non-fandom-com version) is now live.

It doesn't have much going for it, but I am so very hungry and thus am going to cook dinner now instead.

I really love fandom sometimes. I love how people can hear about an independent wiki (yugipedia) in need of help after losing a ton of data and reblog a post about it no questions asked, even if they don't care about yugioh, even if no one who follows them cares about yugioh, just to spread the word in hopes that someone who can help sees that post. People recognizing the importance of independent wikis and how bad it would be for one to be lost, even if they have nothing to do with that wiki or that fandom.

Yes, fandom is a cesspit sometimes, but things like this are why I still love fandom.

Честит ден на езиците и честит ден на освобождението на България!

Пожелавам на всички български фенове на QSMP да сте живи и здрави на този прекрасен ден :)

Засега на вики няма преводи на български -- основно защото аз съм основно заета със написване на статии на английски 😅 -- обаче ако знаете езика и имате желание да помагате, каним ви да се присъедините към нашия Discord Server или направо да почнете да превеждате!

Fallout Tactics is epic and influential!

I had the pleasure of writing up all the times Fallout Tactics has been referenced in subsequent Fallout titles for the Independent Fallout Wiki! It's amazing to see how influential the game has been on the series!

Next time someone wants to debate with you on canon, send them this :3

"What this place just has farmers? Shit, all they want are pipe pistols and stupid ammo. Where's the maniacs slobbering for a mininuke, am I right."

Hats off to the independent fallout wiki for having such nice hi-res photos for me to reference :D

the current corporate clash wiki can be found at corporateclash.wiki.gg! if you'd like to be redirected away from the old wiki (or from other outdated wikia wikis) you can install the Indie Wiki Buddy extension, which also auto-redirects to the new toontown rewritten wiki along with a bunch of others

Fallout Wiki: Featured Fanart (Pride Month)

Greetings all! For those unaware, every month on the wiki, we collaborate with Fallout artists to feature their artwork on the main page. With Pride Month fast approaching, we would like to feature LGBTQ+ art on the wiki!

Our plans are to feature 7 Pride-related Fallout artworks for each day of the month, and rotate them for the 4 weeks of June + a few extra caps of difference! However, we need the community to submit their artwork to us! Currently, we have an artwork from another lovely artist which fills in Bisexual representation! For the other 6 days, we would like to show off different parts of the LGBTQ+ community!

Artworks we'd be looking to include, but not limited to these are:

Trans-Representation

Gay-Representation

Lesbian-Representation

Asexual-Representation

Non-Binary-Representation

Intersex-Representation

Pansexual-Representation

If you're an artist and you're interested, you can submit your artwork to our email at admin@fallout.wiki, or send us a message on Tumblr! Fallout OCs are allowed, but the artwork must be related to Fallout. Additionally, if you decide to email us, include links to your socials so that we may reach out to you!

We look forward to your submissions, as well as Pride Month! We're so excited!

Every day I live in gratefulness that the Splatoon wiki rules and has literally everything you could posssibly need easily accessible. Need 15,000 references for this one single pair of shoes? They've got you. Also here's a list of every time they've been seen in promotional material and background characters in official art. Kissing Inkipedia on the mouth
