'''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 [[Gekijōban Doubutsu no Mori|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, the majority did, mainly 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 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 Animal Crossing series, including the film.

The articles can be edited by any registered member of Fandom, however unregistered members were permitted to edit before Animal Crossing Wiki required users to be logged-in to edit. 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.

History

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 and the limitations of their service. Animal Crossing City managed to complete its transfer to the independent wiki "Animal Crossing Wiki", later renaming to 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.[1]
