DanTDM Wiki/One year independent
Celebrating 1 Year Independent!
One year ago, the future of the wiki was uncertain. Moving away from Fandom meant rebuilding templates, fixing broken pages, restoring files, improving search visibility, and learning how to independently host and maintain a community platform.
While the community may be smaller today than during the peak Minecraft YouTube era, this wiki continues to exist because fans still care enough to archive videos, preserve history, improve pages, and keep the community alive.
♦ One Year By The Numbers
Every typo fix, template update, image upload, and article expansion made entirely on our independent platform.
New editors and returning fans who joined after the move to help keep the wiki active.
Screenshots, thumbnails, artwork, old channel assets, and historical media archived locally.
Still one of the best parts of independence.
♦ Highlights From The First Year
JUNE 2025
The Migration Begins
The DanTDM Wiki officially leaves Fandom and launches independently at dantdm.wiki. Core pages, templates, categories, and media begin restoration on the new platform.

Rebuilding The Wiki
Templates are cleaned up, SEO improvements are added, pages are restored, categories are reorganized, and the site receives major visual upgrades compared to the original fork.

Formation of YIWA
DanTDM Wiki becomes a founding member of the YouTube Independent Wiki Alliance — a network focused on supporting independent YouTuber and creator communities.

The wiki receives its first major homepage redesign since becoming independent.
JUNE 2026
One Year Later
The wiki continues to operate independently and created and maintained by YOU. We recently made it even easier to edit by not even needing an account nor verified email address.
♦ Why Independence Matters
Independent wikis allow communities to control their own design, policies, preservation efforts, and future direction without relying on corporate platform decisions.
The DanTDM Wiki exists entirely because fans continue contributing their time, knowledge, screenshots, archival work, and technical support to preserve an important part of Minecraft and YouTube history.
