Big Nate Wiki

The Big Nate wiki is a Fandom wiki founded by Whoops6 on July 29, 2010. The following is the known history of the wiki. As there are no active witnesses to provide information about the Old Era of the wiki, much of the following information has been provided by reading and studying past blogs, message walls, and edits.

Alternatively, you can view the timeline of the Big Nate Wiki.

The First Era

On July 29, 2010, just four months after the release of the first Big Nate novel, the Big Nate Wiki was founded by Whoops6. It is likely that the creation of the wiki occurring just after the first book's release is not a coincidence, as he could have created the wiki as a result of reading the book, not the comic strips. He created 18 articles the same day of the wiki's founding, 15 of which were character articles. He wasn't active after that though, as his next edit was just over a year later on August 30, 2011, when he wrote on his profile, "As you can see, I don't edit this wiki that much, because I'm mostly on the Fairly Odd Parents Wiki." He has made 9 more edits in the rest of that year, 1 more edit in 2012, another in 2013, and his last edit in 2014. This decrease and halt of edits suggest that he will not return to the wiki again, as a result of either growing out of it, forgetting its existence, or perhaps another unknown reason.

On October 22, 2011, Whoops6 promoted BlackMonkey to an administrator, marking the first staff member other than himself on the wiki. He was the founder of Operation Wikipossible and was an experienced editor, although, due to inactivity, he was demoted on November 23, 2012 by EpicGusher. Throughout 2012 and 2013, more active people started joining and editing the wiki, including WestonLulz, AwesomeOrange89, EpicGusher, Frag Watermelon, and others. The Code of Conduct was formed in November of 2012, and a staff structure was soon formed by WestonLulz, who had taken the role of managing the wiki. The wiki reached 100 pages in mid-2013. By this time, users like EpicGusher and Frag Watermelon left the wiki and into 2014, the wiki only had few active staff, mainly WestonLulz and AwesomeOrange89, who were still working hard to get active users, take care of vandalism (which was very common), and get affiliated with other wikis. Beethoven4ever, who joined in 2016, became 1st place and was given the role of administrator. Due to his many quality edits in the course of just a few months, he was soon promoted to EIC. However, this era soon came to a close, as all of these people have eventually become inactive and stopped editing.

The Second Era

By mid-2017, the wiki was very inactive with no active staff or users. The new era started with the joining of Hasan987 in July, who became very active. ElectricSupernova, who had become active in November, adopted the wiki on November 12, 2017. Hasan987, who had created an estimated 390 articles at the time, was given bureaucrat rights. Positive Elixir Trade, who had joined in October that year, took the wiki in a positive direction. He had, according to his statement on the former Big Nate Wiki People Wiki, "changed the face of the entire wiki and has hosted a bunch of incentive challenges to everyone." Throughout 2018, he redesigned the wiki, the front page, and added several unique features to the wiki including badges, navigation, background, daily updated WAM Scores, a new cursor, and much more.

In March of 2018, TheAmazingCrafter had joined the wiki, the same day that Wikipossible III started, which was a mega challenge created by Positive Elixir Trade. TheAmazingCrafter, HereComesTheTurtles and FudgyGuy all participated in the challenge actively. Around late May all three users got mod rights, but slowly after that, all three slowly went away. After this, the wiki went from one of it’s most inactive times to a “dead era.” Positive Elixir Trade and Hasan987 tried their hardest to get active users and staff back, but has very little luck.

This "dead period" remained for a while, and even went onto 2019 for a little bit. Hasan and Positive Elixir Trade were making less and less edits every day.

Around February, TheAmazingCrafter came back to the wiki and became pretty active and started Wikipossible IV. This went on until April, originally ending in May, due to a lack of participation. However, this challenge attracted one new user who became content mod, Neptune7Ninja2Comics. Although he was excited to get rights, he had left the wiki a month later and got demoted in December 2019.

The wiki wasn’t very active during the summer of 2019, with only Positive Elixir Trade really on the wiki, with Hasan987 and TheAmazingCrafter contributing once a month. TheAmazingCrafter decided to become very active and did a bunch of work to the wiki, adding brand new features such as updates and competitions. One competition he made, the Halloween Challenge, attracted a new user, KellyTheGachaGirl, who became extremely dedicated to the wiki, and got 500 edits during this challenge. After 1 month, TheAmazingCrafter decided to promote KellyTheGachaGirl to content moderator, then shortly after administrator, being very impressive getting 3,000 edits on the wiki in just 2 months.

TheAmazingCrafter’s streak in getting new users into the administration did not stop. When TheAmazingCrafter decided to create a new event Demise, it attracted 10 users to compete in the competition. It also attracted a former staff member, FudgyGuy to come back to the wiki, and became very active. The reward was discussions moderator, and the winner was Revelcw, successfully beating runner-up Pepedafroge. This was very successful, as Revelcw has caught some of the most amount of vandalism on the wiki since the New Era began.

KellyTheGachaGirl and Revelcw wanted to get another active user into the wiki. They decided to check Big Nate Wiki’s neighbor, Big Nate COMMENTS Wiki. Revelcw found Goldenglory4life, and he was happy to contribute. Goldenglory4life got 200 edits in three days, and since he has had experience with being discussions moderator on other wikis, TheAmazingCrafter seemed impressed enough and gave Goldenglory4life discussions moderator.

TheAmazingCrafter’s creation of competitions caught onto other members of the staff. KellyTheGachaGirl decided to create the Snowball Fight competition. At first, she couldn’t get enough users to sign up for the event, so the idea was disbanded. A couple of weeks later FudgyGuy picked it up and tried to start it again. This time he got 6 users to sign up, compared to the 1 user before. The competition was supposed to go on to February of 2020, but TheAmazingCrafter had come up with the idea of a new mega event Field Day. Since Revelcw had done a lot of edits during the Snowball Fight, he won chat moderator, with Goldenglory4life at a close second.

TheAmazingCrafter decided to call the year of 2019 the “Comeback Year,” for the Big Nate Wiki. It went from being dead with only one user at the beginning of the year to getting FudgyGuy, TheAmazingCrafter Neptune7Ninja4Comics (at beginning of 2019 for Neptune), KellyTheGachaGirl, Revelcw, and Goldenglory4life, along with Positive Elixir Trade and the return of ElectricSupernova, all being pretty active on the wiki, truly making 2019 the “comeback” year of Big Nate Wiki. However things would go very wrong.

At January 2020, FANDOM had enforced the rule of people being 13 or older to use not only Big Nate Wiki, but any wiki in general. This meant 12 year olds and under got their accounts deleted, and could not come back until they turned 13. Regardless, they lost all their progress. This meant the wiki lost FudgyGuy and KellyTheGachaGirl, who were almost 13. This left everyone in despair. TheAmazingCrafter tried to get users from the Big Nate COMMENTS Wiki, as they were dealing with the same problem, to work together and rebuild up 2 dead wikis.

This came successful as the same day the Field Day Competition started, SpoopyMango became a new rollback and the wiki was getting active again.

On February 1, when Field Day ended, Goldenglory4life, Oritsuki, Bignatebaseball, and Neptune7Ninja2Comics all received promotions for participating and were welcomed to the staff. Winning a honorable mention, Neptune7Ninja2Comics got discussion moderator, Bignatebaseball got 3rd and got chat moderator, and SunnoPuppo got 2nd with content mod, and the winner of field day with first place was Goldenglory4life who got administrator!

Later on, TheAmazingCrafter and Oritsuki had left the wiki, but Salty Byleth Main was promoted to discussions moderator for her activeness. This left everyone in despair. Around late May, they came back, and TheAmazingCrafter said he would be around for the summer. Oritsuki had also returned.

During June, many new members were added to the staff. These users consist of ZachOWott, ItsP-dog, SuperTalker101, CommanderStarWars003, and Swasimcool. Though SuperTalker101 was demoted shortly after and banned.

Goldenglory4life was then terminated for being underage. After this Salty Byleth Main left the wiki and was demoted.

Summer badges were created, and Oritsuki hosted a Quarantine Event.

A while later, Oritsuki had become inactive for a few days and cancelled the Quarantine Event. Hasan987 returned to the wiki in July 2020.

On July 26th, Positive Elixir Trade demoted himself from bureaucrat and left the wiki.

On July 28th, 2020, TheAmazingCrafter, the #1 editor on the wiki, was terminated from FANDOM due to him being 14 years old and living in California. Although users in the rest of the United States must be over 13, California's laws make this number slightly higher at 16, and so Crafter's account was terminated. In response, Hasan987 promoted Oritsuki to bureaucrat, Swasimcool to administrator, and ZachOWott to content moderator, in part to help with the upcoming Wikipossible V.

Crafter's termination occurred the day before the wiki's tenth anniversary on July 29, 2020.

Wikipossible V began on a high note. In the first two weeks, it surpassed Wikipossible IV in terms of users participating. By the end of August, it had 39 users contributing. Sadly CommanderStarWars003 was demoted after not edting for two weeks.

On August 4th, EpicGusher returned for a visit on the wiki.

Positive Elixir Trade was promoted to admin for 9 days from September 2nd to September 11th for an unknown reason by Hasan987.

At the end of Wikipossible V, 94 users had participated, making it the highest Wikipossible style event and any Big Nate Wiki Contest in general based on most amount of people participating. Palmboi was promoted to Content Mod for winning first place. HappyTheApple was promoted to Discussions Mod for winning second place. Clouduser was promoted to rollback.

However Palmboi got demoted for personal reasons and Clouduser was terminated for being underage and had to be demoted.

Swasimcool was eventually promoted to bureaucrat in mid October.

On November 23rd, the Mud Bowl started. On December 26th, Mud Bowl ended with Palmboi's team winning.

ZachOWott left the wiki and was demoted to regular user and HappyTheApple was demoted to rollback in January 2021.

HootboyV2 was promoted to rollback on January 22, 2021.

HootboyV2 then quickly got a bunch of edits and finally had enough edits to become a discussion mod on January 27th. HootboyV2 became the User of the Month, and in February there was a lot events happening as FriendlyCorfyc1 was promoted to rollback on February 5.

On February 8, after many years on the wiki, the user who was one of the founding fathers of the Second Era, Hasan987, had retired. This finally ended the Second Era as the three giants that were PET, TAC and Hasan who had been staff throughout the Second Era were finally all demoted and had left the wiki.

The Third Era

On February 16, FriendlyCorfyc1 was promoted to discussion mod. On February 23, he got 3 warnings from Palmboi, who was an admin. He was then blocked for 3 days for badgegaming. On March 2, FriendlyCorfyc1 had his rights repealed for being way underage, as he was only 8 and he lived in California, meaning that he was 8 years underage.

On March 3, HootboyV2 got promoted to content mod by Swasimcool. A day later, Ak-Elfs was promoted to discussion mod by Swasimcool.

March 5 was one of the most eventful days in the history of the Big Nate Wiki. Palmboi left the wiki because he was getting stressed about it and he was getting way too many notifications. Meanwhile, at almost the same exact time that Palmboi announced that he was leaving the wiki, Hashiuga was promoted to rollback.

On March 13, Hashiuga was promoted to discussion mod. He was then promoted to content mod on March 28.

On March 30, Ak-Elfs quit FANDOM as it wasn't as appealing to him then it was when he started out. Because of this, ZodiacNumber9 and SnaccD were promoted to staff because of a shortage of staff members.

In April, HootboyV2 and Hashiuga were both promoted to admins. The wiki become very active and because of this FANDOM assigned User:Nightsilver to become the wiki's representative.

Swasimcool also decided to start the Mud Bowl 2021 (Contest) in early May which the Teddy Titans won.

In early June, Oritsuki left the wiki which led to a lot of promotions. Hashiuga got promoted to Tech Operator, 21stCenturyHumor got promoted to content mod, and TacticalBalaclava got promoted to discussion mod.

In August, ZodiacNumber9 also decided to leave the wiki.

Afterwards, things started to slowly die out.

In March of 2022, User:Chimken gots dah movez was promoted to rollback.

Things really started to die out from here. From July 2022 to May 2023, all the staff except TacticalBalaclava stopped editing/posting.

In May of 2023, HootboyV2 returned to the wiki. He promoted User:Firecat16 to thread moderator and User:Canttouchthis5555 to admin.
