Wikia
In 2011, the Skylanders Wiki was created on a whim on Wikia, a company before it was rebranded into Fandom. The owner of the Skylanders Wiki was a user who admitted to not knowing much about the Skylanders franchise. When they were copying content from the neighboring Spyro Wikia, one of its active admins took notice and opted to help rewrite the Skylanders Wiki articles that were copied from the Spyro Wiki. During a dispute, that Spyro Wiki admin chose to become the new leading bureaucrat of the Skylanders Wiki and has ran both it and the Spyro Wiki for many years.
Moving from Fandom
On May 24, 2025, the Skylanders Fandom Wiki announced that they were moving from Fandom and onto MediaWiki, a self-hosting software. This is after the many controversial changes and actions orchestrated by Fandom in recent years that prompted many other wikis to fork from their platform and start their own independent hosting wikis with content that they carried over from Fandom.
