| − | '''Animal Crossing Wiki''' (formerly known as '''Animal Crossing City''') is an online wiki encyclopedia for the {{SER}}, founded in August 2005 by Aeryka and hosted by the wiki-farm Fandom (formerly Wikia), with 4,802 articles as of December 25, 2022. In November 2010, the wiki forked and merged its content with {{Comm|Nookipedia}}, an independent ''Animal Crossing'' wiki that had recently been formed. | + | '''Animal Crossing Wiki''' (formerly known as '''Animal Crossing City'''), is a wiki hosted by the wiki-farm Fandom (formerly Wikia) that was founded by Aeryka in August 2005. It provides information for the entire {{SER}}, including the [[Dōbutsu no Mori (film)|film]]. The articles were written by both registered and unregistered members, but now Animal Crossing Wiki requires users to be logged-in to edit. Editors collaborate with set guidelines through talk pages and the Fandom blog system. In 2010, Fandom decided to force all of their wikis to use the skin "Oasis"; many wikis were upset with this and forked the content away from Fandom. "Animal Crossing Wiki" was one of the wikis that forked its content and moved its editors. Although the whole community did not move, but majority did move, most did due to conflicting interests with Fandom and the limitations of their service. "Animal Crossing City" (as it was then known) merged into the independent wiki "Animal Crossing Wiki", which was later renamed "[[Nookipedia]]". |

| − | Animal Crossing City was founded in August 2005 by a user named [https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/User:Aeryka Aeryka]. While she served as the wiki's main creator, her contributions to the wiki were minimal despite the community around the wiki beginning to grow. The wiki experienced immense growth by 2009 thanks to {{CF}}.<ref name="Aeryka">{{Cite web|url=https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Forum:Aeryka_controversy|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210317033401/https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Forum:Aeryka_controversy|author=[https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/User:Dragonfree97 Dragonfree97]|archive-date=March 16, 2021|title=Forum:Aeryka controversy|date=January 1, 2013|site=Animal Crossing Wiki (FANDOM.com)|retrieved=March 16, 2021}}</ref> | + | File:Wiki-wordmark -121 Copy.png|The second logo |

| − | In 2010, Fandom began a forceful implementation of their new skin "Oasis", which upset various wikis on the website's redesign, coupled with tensions between the staff of Fandom and the members of the wiki. Many opted to fork the content away from Fandom into newly independent wikis. In November 2010, Animal Crossing City merged its content with the newly formed independent Animal Crossing Wiki (later named {{Comm|Nookipedia}}), and many editors and staff members moved alongside the merge.

| − | Fandom continued to manage the wiki after most of the staff had quit, including its founder Aeryka.<ref name="Aeryka"/> The remaining staff continued work to provide a source for all ''Animal Crossing'' content. By 2013, in anticipation of {{NL}}, the wiki changed its name to "Animal Crossing Wiki", which had formerly been abandoned on Nookipedia. At the same time, some users that had left to Nookipedia returned to Animal Crossing Wiki, including [[User:Dragonfree97|Dragonfree97]], a former director of Nookipedia who defected back to Animal Crossing Wiki.

| − | In February 2021, the wiki underwent a severe trolling attack that led to the shutdown of the entire wiki for a couple of days. Editors were still permitted to use the forums during this time.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Jacube/ACW_Revolution_Person:_A_Complete_List_of_Alternate_Accounts|date=February 2, 2021|author=[https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/User:Jacube Jacube]|title= ACW Revolution Person: A Complete List of Alternate Accounts|site=Animal Crossing Wiki (FANDOM.com)|retrieved=March 16, 2021}}</ref>
