WikiDex is a Spanish Pokémon wiki that serves the Pokémon community in Spain and in Latin America. WikiDex was originally hosted on Fandom (formerly Wikia), but on August 11, 2017, it became an independent site. The following May, WikiDex would become a member of Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis, a multi-lingual group of wikis documenting all aspects of Pokémon.
History
WikiDex was founded on March 14, 2006 by DragonTrainer on the website host Fandom, then called Wikia. It was originally started as the PokéRPG Enciclopedia, a forum for the Pokémon series, but after recognizing the need for Pokémon information in Spanish, it was quickly decided for the wiki to cover general content about Pokémon. The mascot for WikiDex during its infancy has constantly changed, but in 2008, the wiki resettled on Pichu as the mascot for WikiDex. In 2010, near the launch of Pokémon Black and White in Japan, the wiki redesigned its Monobook and Monaco skin (prior to its discontinuation the same year). While the wiki continued to grow with nearly 12,000 articles by 2016, member were growing tired over Fandom's adspace taking over the site.[1]
Starting in November 2016, Fandom staff offered the members of WikiDex to switch their current infoboxes to the new portable infobox stylizing for mobile optimization.[2][3][4] However, users, including the WikiDex administration, disagreed on the implementation, saying that the change is unreliable and unnecessary. This eventually accumulated on May 1, 2017, when Fandom began implementing their portable infoboxes against the will of the WikiDex administration. Cience Al Poder and Flygon 7 both attempted to revert changes, but were met with demotions and the former being banned on the site. WikiDex referred to this incident as FANDOOM, and due to these disagreements with Fandom, on August 11, 2017 WikiDex became an independent wiki.[5] The following May, WikiDex joined Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis, replacing the defunct Pokéteca as the Spanish-language member.
