Minecraft Wiki (website)

Born of the wiki (2009)
The wiki was founded by citricsquid on July 16, 2009. That time, it was called Minepedia, but was hosted as "minecraftwiki.net". Wiki was created in a time, when there were many Minecraft wikis on internet and few big ones were still weeks from creation.

This wiki was created alongside Minecraft Forums, that had really big popularity since its start.

The deal with Curse (2010)
Since November 15, 2010, it has been hosted by Curse.com. Few weeks later in December, 2010, "Minepedia" was renamed to "Minecraft Wiki", since the domain was "minecraftwiki.net" and "minepedia.net" was already claimed, legal issues have come up and wiki could no longer use the Minepedia. However, the transition was really slow, and the wiki finally changed all references to Minecraft Wiki in 2011.

On January 18, 2011, the Admin Dashboard was created. This is one of the most useful pages added to the wiki.

Acquicision by Fandom
On December x, 2018, it was annouced that Fandom bought Curse Media (this was part of the Curse, that included Gamepedia, D&D Beyond and few other services. The users were discussing this thing on Discord and many were hating this decision.
