+ | '''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. The wiki provides information for the entire {{SER}}, including the [[Gekijōban Doubutsu no Mori|film]]. | ||

Editors collaborate with set guidelines through talk pages and the Fandom blog system. As with other Fandom wikis, the Animal Crossing Wiki also provides its own forum discussion for members of the community to post about various ''Animal Crossing''-related content. | |

+ | Animal Crossing City was founded in August 2005 by a user named [http://animalcrossing.wikia.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 began growing. 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> | ||

+ | 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. Animal Crossing Wiki (then known as Animal Crossing City) was one of the wikis that had its content forked into a new wiki. Although the whole community did not move, the majority did, mainly due to conflicting interests with Fandom staff and the limitations of their service. The staff members urging to leave managed to complete the transfer of nearly the entire database of Animal Crossing City to the independent wiki "Animal Crossing Wiki", who would later be renamed [[Nookipedia]]. | ||

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> | In February 2021, the wiki underwent a severe trolling attack that led to the shutdown of the entire wiki for a couple of days.
