Hello everyone. Today is a very special day, as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the creation of Avatar Wiki.
As some of you may or may not know, Avatar Wiki was among the first 1000 wikis to be made on Fandom, back when it was still known as Wikicities. In the 20 years since, the wiki has been edited just under 3 million times, grown to over 15,000 content pages covering every aspect of the Avatar World, and been viewed by hundreds of millions of people (and counting). It has become one of the most well-respected wikis on the platform, and an unrivalled source of information for the Avatar franchise.
However, the success of the wiki is not something that just happens overnight. It is something that happens because of the dedication and effort put into it by the community. Everyone that has contributed to the wiki, whether as an editor, fanon writer, or commenter, whether big or small, and whether in the past or still ongoing, is a part of that success. The collaboration of so many people connected by their love of Avatar is what makes the wiki the amazing place it is, so from myself and everyone else, thank you.
To celebrate this anniversary, I wanted to hear from all of you about your favourite memories of being on the wiki, what the experience has meant to you, and anything else you might want to add. And, as we sit here in 2025 and look ahead to new releases coming in the next few years, what you are most looking forward to. Post your responses below and if we get enough, I might collate them together into a blog post to celebrate this milestone even more.
All that remains is for me to once again say thank you to everyone that has been part of the wiki over the years. Personally, it has been my utmost pleasure to take this journey with all of you, and I look forward to what the future brings. To end, I leave you with my favourite Avatar quote:
"Sometimes life is like this dark tunnel. You can't always see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if you just keep moving, you will come to a better place." — Iroh
