Submission declined on 2 November 2023 by Dan arndt (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.

Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Comment: The minecraft wiki site is a primary source and fandom websites are not acceptable or reliable sources either. Dan arndt (talk) 00:56, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

The Minecraft Wiki is a online encyclopedia for the video game Minecraft. Similar to Wikipedia, it is a collaboratively edited wiki run on MediaWiki.

History

Founded in June 2009 by CriticSquid, one month after the game's public release, it was originally hosted on minecraftwiki.net.^[2]

It became part of Curse LLC's Gamepedia in January 2011, and the website was migrated to minecraft.gamepedia.com in September 2013.^[3] Following Fandom's acquisition of Curse in December 2018, the wiki was migrated to minecraft.fandom.com in March 2021, replacing the original wiki with that URL which was archived in December 2020.^[4]

From July 2023, the wiki held a discussion regarding forking from Fandom and in September of that year they opted to fork using Weird Gloop.^[5]^[6]^[7]
