Frontierpedia is the successor to the TMAFE Wiki, which itself was rebranded from the Konnor88 Wiki on September 4th, 2020. The Konnor88/TMAFE Wiki served as the primary wiki for The Microsoft Agent Frontier Empire until March 28th, 2021, when the first successful migration occurred. There were versions of Frontierpedia tried throughout 2019 and 2020, though these projects were abandoned and cancelled. The first actual wiki under the Frontierpedia name was launched on May 3rd, 2019.

Frontierpedia was first thought of in 2019 after being proposed by Sebastian. Cipher then proceeded to make the logo for Frontierpedia, a parody of the Wikipedia globe logo. It used MediaWiki 1.32.0 as its wiki software until it was abandoned a few days later. Multiple attempts to restart the Frontierpedia project occurred. Lack of interest and confusion about the MediaWiki software lead to TMAFE sticking with FANDOM for its wiki. However, on March 28th, 2021, Konnor88 was successfully able to get a MediaWiki wiki setup and proposed the idea of migrating from FANDOM. Most of TMAFE was on board with the idea and Frontierpedia V6 replaced the TMAFE Wiki, which was been renamed to "TMAFE Archive Wiki" following the migration.
