Frontierpedia

Frontierpedia is an online encyclopedia focused around The Microsoft Agent Frontier Empire and Microsoft Agent. It is powered by the MediaWikisoftware, which also powers sites such as Wikipedia, Gamepedia, and most 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 attempt. The sixth attempt of Frontierpedia was successful and was created on March 28th, 2021. Frontierpedia V6 Started off with using MediaWiki 1.35.0 and currently uses MediaWiki 1.35.2.

History

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 afterwards, with three of those being based off of 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 accidently deleted, the current Frontierpedia was made afterwards. TMAFE then been migrating most articles and images from TMAFE Wiki to Frontierpedia.
