Xbox Wiki was founded on August 11, 2006 by Cjpwes who was between the age of 13 and 14 at the time. Cjpwes would edit on the wiki for around three months making 31 edits, before leaving the wiki and never editing here again.

Administrator Chief frank 001 maintained the wiki helping moderate content on it and add additional information. Other important users during this time included a user by the name of Angela, who helped with implementing various templates to help improve functionality on the wiki. Kush TT was also an important editor in the early days of Xbox Wiki, creating various video game related articles to help expand the amount of content on the wiki. Darthraul, the founder of the Gears of War Wiki was also an important editor during this time. Other important users included Reike Hain and Garethrees.

On November 24, 2008, Thai420 joined the wiki, becoming one of the wikis most experienced editors and greatly expanding the wiki with articles, images and templates. Thai420 would go on to make 1010 edits on the wiki before eventually making their last contribution on June 29, 2009.

From 2009 and 2011, Javilius ran the wiki with Saytun. For the next two years it is unknown who was an administrator on the wiki. On October 13, 2013, just before the launch of the Xbox One, a user by the name of ZebraOnesie made their first contribution. ZebraOnesie would go on to expand the wiki, preparing it for the launch of an entire new generation of Xbox. Not long after joining, ZebraOnesie reached out to Chief frank 001 who had not been seen on the wiki for five years, to see if he could be promoted to admin and take over the wiki. Surprisingly, Chief frank 001 returned and promoted ZebraOnesie. During these conversations, Chief frank 001 mentioned that he had been very busy and told ZebraOnesie that he could remove admin rights from him as he would not be returning to the wiki.

ZebraOnesie went on to make 438 contributions on the wiki, adding much needed content and removing spam and vandalism. However, what seemed like a new beginning for the Xbox Wiki was short lived, as ZebraOnesie would make his last edit on an article only two months after first joining. ZebraOnesie would briefly return to the wiki at times to touch up their user page and state that they are no longer active on Xbox Wiki.

Xbox-wiki-2015

Xbox Wiki in 2015.

From 2014 to early 2017, Xbox Wiki was once again without an active admin and a lack of any real editors. On February 22, 2017 the user DirtABXY made their first contribution to the wiki, creating a very rough version of the Xbox One S article. This user would edit on the wiki for several weeks before reaching out to ZebraOnesie and Chief frank 001, asking if they could return as a majority of the wiki was heavily outdated including the home page which had been locked to administrators. Unfortunately, neither of the users ever responded.

On March 25, 2017, DirtABXY adopted the Xbox Wiki after creating a request on Community Central several days prior. With the help of other users in the Community Central forums, DirtABXY was able to add new templates and clean up other things to improve the place for all visiting users.

Later that year, CavaX would join the wiki and eventually be promoted to admin. CavaX edited on the wiki frequently until April 2018. In 2019, CavaX was retired as an admin as they no longer appeared to be active on the website.

About a month after the announcement of the Xbox Series X, Xbox Wiki appeared in a video created by FANDOM.
