The Warriors Wiki was established on June 21, 2006 by Oglog. Oglog vanished from the scene shortly thereafter, and the wiki lay mostly dormant until its discovery by Kitsufox on November 29, 2006. Then, due to real life obligations of Kitsufox's, she was dormant for a period of time. During this stretch, on September 27, 2007, Eulalia stumbled onto it and kept it going, along with Hobbes, until Kitsufox's return. Soon after, Kitsu had to take a break again, and Eu oversaw the wiki as the active admin until he got a position as a Vandalism Task Force member for Wikia which kept him busy.
After a short time, Bramble became an admin in August 2009. With an active admin once again, the wiki continued its activity. In March 2010, Insaneular also became an admin. After a period of time in which all four admins were inactive in 2011, Bramble and Insaneular stepped down and Moonflight and Mistystar took their places. In 2012, Moonflight and Mistystar later stepped down and Atelda took their place. In May 2014, SnowedLightning and Ducksplash earned their rights, and in November 2015, Appledash took Ducksplash's place when he resigned. Atelda stepped down afterwards, and Appledash and SnowedLightning adopted the wiki in 2017. Wikia was also rebranded into Fandom in 2016, which later included moving the domain name from wikia.com to fandom.com.
In 2018, Spookywilloww joined the admin team and later became a bureaucrat, and in 2019, Appledash resigned following conflict with the fandom, resulting in turmoil on the wiki for a time. Public opinion of the wiki was low as a result, but Spookywilloww worked hard to improve it through the wiki's Twitter account and public surveys. The wiki continued to move forward and in November 2020, Vector Sigma was brought on as a temporary admin before gaining full rights to help with the workload with Fandom's move to the Unified Community Platform (UCP) and FandomDesktop. In 2021, the Warriors Wiki hit its fifteen anniversary with over 4,000 pages and over 2 million pageviews, and the series continues to stride on with strength with the release of its eighth arc.
The Warriors Wiki, including its admins and editors, is also involved in Fandom projects, such as Fandom Stars in 2022, and Admin Plus and Fandom Compass in 2023.
This resurrection of our wiki has led to the addition of many of our active contributors and the great deal of growth the site has undergone in the time to follow.
