Since the launch, the wiki has expanded to include the entire Fallout series, both in terms of the fictional universe and in terms of gameplay information and help. Its purpose was to continue the work started by Fallout 2 developer Chris Avellone in his Fallout Bible, which was meant to be a reference guide to the Fallout fictional universe, but was abandoned after Avellone left Black Isle Studios. The Vault was founded by Paweł Dembowski and launched on February 7, 2005, initially hosted by Fallout fansite Duck and Cover, as a general source of information about the Fallout universe, initially focusing mostly on information about the Fallout world, as depicted in Fallout and Fallout 2. The two wikis decided to merge in December 2019, "completing" the process of importing The Vault content to Nukapedia in January 2022. Originally named simply The Vault, the wiki was split into two independently-run sites: The Vault and Nukapedia, in 2011. The site is also available in several other languages, including Bulgarian, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish and Ukrainian. The Fallout Wiki runs on MediaWiki and is currently part of the Fandom network. It covers all of the Fallout video games, as well as all Fallout related content. (The Vault, closed)įallout Wiki, also known as Nukapedia, is a wiki about the Fallout fictional universe.
