The first iteration of Frontierpedia was created on May 9th, 2019, following the idea being proposed by [[Sebastian]] and the logo being designed by [[Cipher]]. It was using MediaWiki 1.32.0 as its wiki software and was later abandoned. The reasons for this abandonment were lack of MediaWiki extension knowledge, lack of knowledge for non-FANDOM-based infoboxes, and overall difficulty of the original host. Frontierpedia had four more iterations afterward, with three of those being based on MediaWiki and one on FANDOM/Wikia. Frontierpedia V5 was the "tipping point" of showing that a MediaWiki-based wiki separated from FANDOM/Wikia may work. After Frontierpedia V5 was accidentally deleted, the current Frontierpedia was made afterward. TMAFE then been migrating most articles and images from TMAFE Wiki to Frontierpedia. After most articles and images were imported, Frontierpedia served and still serves as the main wiki for TMAFE, its allies, and Microsoft Agent. | The first iteration of Frontierpedia was created on May 9th, 2019, following the idea being proposed by [[Sebastian]] and the logo being designed by [[Cipher]].

On October 8th, 2022, Frontierpedia was starting to experience database issues more frequently due to being built upon a glitched database, as both Frontierpedia V5.0 and Frontierpedia V5.1 used the same database despite Frontierpedia V5.0 having previously experienced issues. As a result, Frontierpedia V5.X was decommissioned and Frontierpedia V6 was created on the same subdomain the same day. Upon the creation of V6, articles deemed as high quality or important were imported to V6, with all images being imported on October 11th, 2022.
