First Fandom Wiki
Wiki was founded on 2016 on Fandom by DoctorRobotix. The owner, ie the administrator of wiki leave the Fandom, so first wiki was like server anarchic. Despite such complications, many players joined the wiki at the time, writing new articles. One of them is Dark_Annihilator. He joined the wiki in November and began actively editing. He cleared the wiki of redundant and non-neutral information. But the fact remained that there was no one to control the wiki. That's how the new wiki was created. Nifty came up with the idea to create the 2b2t Anarchy Server wiki in order to have more control over vandalism and shitposting. He eventually founded it on December 21st, 2016.

Second Fandom Wiki
Dark, Nifty, and Masicore began to transfer all the pages from the old wiki to the new one. On May 14th, the wiki achieved its 200th page. During August of 2017, jared2013 asked to help the wiki through a Reddit post. Niftyrobo had been ashamed of the wiki and so promoted Jared to bureaucrat (god status) to wreak havoc on the wiki on August 4. Jared imposed a tyrannical rule over the wiki with him giving strict orders not to make pages that he deemed to be stupid (which was 90% of everything) or get instantly banned. Eventually, the majority of the community of the wiki began to complain about Jared's bias bullshit against anything to do with newfags. A vote was made to demote Nifty and Jared but was soon deleted by Jared. The wiki and Reddit were filled by angry users who wanted him gone, and this reached a peak on August 6. In an autistic outburst and fit of rage, Jared got some of his Spawn Mason buddies and trashed the wiki. However, help was asked from FANDOM Staff and they reverted everything that Jared made and blocked him, his buddies, and Niftyrobo, leaving Dark_Annihilator ownership of the wiki on August 7th. In April of 2018, a YouTuber by the name of AntVenom made a video on 2b2t. This brought in a large number of players, so the Wikia was going active again with vandalism and so on. Many newfags began adding their fagtions and names all over the Wikia, and it quickly turned into a mess. The most prominent source of information for the Wikia was from Fit. But in around mid-2018, a large skepticism towards him grew. This was mostly from how Fit dramatized numerous events, or just got them straight up wrong. From this point on, a few would go on to read the old Facepunch threads to gather information from the olden days, or they would straight up ask the oldfags. Later, some would take the skepticism harder as Fit got more critical of the Wikia. On July 25, 2018, Wikia, now known as FANDOM, reviewed the 2b2t Anarchy Wiki, and have concluded that it had violated their ToS, which resulted in the wiki being deleted. The content of the wiki was sent to the higher-ups in the form of a.TXT file. A large place where many went after the Wikia was deleted was 2b2t redux, but it got taken down as well.

Miraheze Wiki
The original group that owned the old Wikia moved to the wiki hosting service Miraheze, where it still is to this day. In September 2019, the 2b2t Wiki experienced a bunch of vandalism from a group that wanted to have its own page on the wiki (Everflame). The owner of it, who shall not be named, would constantly change his IP or just use his school IP when he got banned. When the site-wide admins caught what was going on, they banned his school IP, and some asshole admins saved the IP before Jonathan222 removed it off the list. The owner of Everflame would then disappear for a while. On September 9, a user named Melofors created a draft for an article about 2b2t on Wikipedia. It is not until November 23 when the draft is accepted and becomes an official article. In November, four of the inactive administrators are demoted for inactivity. Many staff, former staff, and members of the general community grew extremely tired of this state of affairs. All it took was a spark.

Staff changes
Early in April 2020, jared2013, Joey_Coconut, and _Henry_ began to talk about the wiki as an institution, lamenting on its poor management and article quality. It was decided that something should be done. With the seeds of the idea in his brain, Joey_Coconut planned a takeover operation, as well as the basic framework of a cleanup of the wiki itself. Discussing with other disaffected past and present staff, LordGalvatronMC became a member of the reform group. The scope of the plan was small, a demotion of the inactive and abusive staff members, promotion of meritorious members over time, and general cleanup to the wiki. On April 9, 2020, Joey_Coconut created a new discord server in which to organize support for the reform; new members joined the server in large numbers. Immediately after this, jared2013 entered the wiki discord server in an attempt to gain additional support for the reform and to critique various shortcomings of the wiki. He was banned within hours. After a discussion with Miraheze Steward NDKilla, the thread Proposed Changes to 2b2t Wiki Staff was created by _Henry_. Also as a result of this discussion, jared2013 and LordGalvatronMC found an oversight in the wiki's permissions that allowed LordGalvatronMC, a Bureaucrat, to promote jared2013 to Bureaucrat rank, then create a higher rank, titled 'Supercrat', and then promote jared2013 to that rank. He then demoted the majority of the then-current administration. The old administration complained to the site staff, who removed jared2013's, and LordGalvatronMC's roles, and then gave the roles back to those who had been demoted by the Supercrats. LordGalvatronMC, jared2013, and Joey_Coconut were then banned from the wiki. Fearing for his position on the wiki, Jonathan222 promoted Quarnds to Administrator, thinking the final demotion vote would be among the staff. Quarnds then posted the page Ban Status of Users LordGalvatron and CremationEnthusiast. Seeing the vote ratios, Rohen_Tahir resigned following a request to do so. On April 23, Jonathan222 and Dark_Annihilator were demoted.The new Discord server was transferred firstly from Joey_Coconut's ownership to jared2013's, then finally to _Henry_'s. It slowly began to develop. Joey_Coconut began to enact his cleanup program, first revamping the rules, then the administrative structure. _Henry_ was voted unanimously to become the first President of the wiki on June 9, 2020. Joey_Coconut then began a mass-delete of low-quality articles, broken redirects, some remaining elements of the speedrunner wiki, low-quality templates, etc. Almost a third of the wiki's total contents were deleted. Longtime bureaucrat ElliotRodger523 resigned his Bureaucrat position in early June 2020 partly as a result of most of the vast majority of the old administration no longer being present. Joey_Coconut was subsequently elected to Bureaucrat. Quarnds was demoted from Administrator on July 15, 2020 due to inactivity. Wiki activity significantly jumped during this time, reaching 11–12k views the week of July 24. Exactly a week later, Chipoff was elected as an admin. leijurv was elected an admin on August 20, 2020. SoiledCold was removed from his admin position on August 2, 2020. Rounding out the current staff team is rpb7191, who was elected to Admin on September 30. The staff team decided to abolish the President rank on October 1.

Reforms
In mid-January 2021, a period of sustained criticism began on the part of first Zltb, then Mrck10, following the removal of their wiki pages. This drama continued until mid-March, 2021. This period was characterized by a variety of events related both directly and indirectly to the wiki including the creation of a (now defunct) competing wiki, the creation of 2b2t_uncut, the triple nuke of 2b2t_uncensored, a walkout of almost the entirety of its staff, and the creation of a variety of misinformational videos on the part of Mrck10. A closer relationship was also sought out with 2b2t.online following a major redesign of the site in early 2021. Throughout late 2020 and early 2021, pagecount and article quality increased significantly. The Notable players page was cleaned up on March 16, 2021, after long-term discussions to do so. In the week preceding April 7, 2021, the Spawn Incursions page was broken up, the wiki's was completed. On May 27, a new design was developed on the front page, designed by Tigran07 and Melofors. The Draft system has been operating since August 4. Thus, the participants must first create a draft, which will become a real article only after being considered by experienced participants. Experienced participants will vote to create an article or not. Only then will the page be published. In September, the wiki was subjected to a very strong wave of vandalism․ That was the biggest vandalism in the wiki on recent times. Wiki was so hurt that the bureaucrat Joey_Coconut had to ask to Miraheze on October 1 to correct their actions. On October 7, the wiki choose a logo created by Henry.
