[[File:HQFrontierpediaLogoWithText.png|frameless|right|150px]]'''[[Frontierpedia]]''' is an online encyclopedia focused around The Microsoft Agent Frontier Empire and Microsoft Agent. It is powered by the MediaWiki software, which also powers sites such as Wikipedia, Gamepedia, and many other wiki sites. Frontierpedia is the successor to TMAFE Wiki, which was a rebranded version of Konnor88 Wiki. Konnor88 Wiki and TMAFE Wiki both used FANDOM/Wikia, with Frontierpedia moving away and distancing itself from FANDOM/Wikia. The first attempt to create Frontierpedia was on May 3rd, 2019, but the project was later abandoned with four more attempts until the final and sixth attempts. The sixth attempt of Frontierpedia was successful and was created on March 28th, 2021. Frontierpedia V6 Started with using MediaWiki 1.35.0 and currently uses MediaWiki 1.35.3.
