The Angry Birds Wiki is the first and largest source of information for Angry Birds on the internet.
About
Ever since May 27, 2010, the Angry Birds Wiki's goal is to document everything about Angry Birds such as games, characters, and even merchandise. One day, we hope to have pages on everything in the Angry Birds series. The Angry Birds Wiki is a trusted source by content creators and fans alike to reminisce on the series' legacy and media.
Hosting
The Angry Birds Wiki is hosted for free on Fandom which is a for-profit wiki hosting service with ads on articles, though they can be removed on all articles when signed into an account. An option to turn ads back on is also available to support the longevity of the service.
History
2010
In 2010, the Angry Birds Wiki was founded by RYANWILLIAMS2465 on Wikia (now called Fandom) due to the rising popularity of Angry Birds.
2011
In 2011, Superjustinbros. and Shrev64 became bureaucrats while Qazqaz555 became an admin. The wiki also reached 200 articles in October of that year.
2012
In 2012, Qazqaz555 became a bureaucrat while the wiki was starting to gain more editors. Some of which later became admins, such as Link The Hero of Time, PrinceGoldenGale, Angry Hearts, The Boomerang and AquaChoco1997. Qazqaz during this time suggested the idea of expanding the staff team with three new positions. The wiki was spotlighted in September 2012 to celebrate the release of Angry Birds Trilogy on the Wikia Network.
2013
In 2013, AngryHearts had the idea of hosting Featured Polls on the wiki to engage with the community.
2014

In 2014, QazQaz stepped down and Bp101697 became a bureaucrat. The wiki was popular with Angry Birds fans with new games such as Angry Birds Epic, Angry Birds Stella and Angry Birds Transformers releasing while Piggy Tales and Angry Birds Stella Toons were released on Toons.TV. The wiki also reached 1600 articles in March of that year.
2015
In 2015, AquaChoco1997 was promoted to being a bureaucrat. In August, the FANDOM for: Angry Birds app was released, which allowed fans to read Angry Birds Wiki articles from their phones. With the release of the sequel to the original game, Angry Birds 2, the wiki had a good year overall.
2016
In 2016, the wiki was re-themed to match the (at the time) upcoming release of The Angry Birds Movie.
2017
In 2017, The Boomerang announced a character page cleanup project, which was to add each character’s game and media appearances to their respective articles. Unfortunately, the main infoboxes were removed even though they were planned to be included with the project.
2018
In 2018, the wiki's official Discord server was created by Aquachoco.
2019
In 2019, a devastating event occurred involving the removal of Angry Birds games from 2009-2013 (except for Angry Birds Friends), which made fans of the series upset and angry. However, Bad Piggies was later added back to the app stores. The Boomerang announced a a new character page format that year which removed the need for pages such as Star Wars Characters and Rio Characters. The wiki was also re-themed for the release of The Angry Birds Movie 2.
Some good news was that this wiki was recognized by Rovio Entertainment Corporation in a slide for the Angry Birds 10th Anniversary by Stephen Porter![1]
2020
In 2020, Guilherme Santos1 and Yasermeddour20 became content moderators. In July, Aquachoco released her third part of “ WIP with the AB Wiki”.
With the licenses for Rio, Star Wars and it's sequel expiring with some test games releasing, it was a smaller year for Angry Birds.
2021
In 2021, ChickenLover21 became a moderator in the month of August. Later in December he was promoted to admin as a result of low moderation. The wiki also reached the milestone of 5,000 articles. It was a big year for Angry Birds and the wiki overall. Guilherme Santos1 however got demoted because of a tweet and then got banned after causing edit wars with JaydonKing4K on the Angry Birds Seasons and Infobox Game pages. He was later unbanned after a month, but was temporarily reblocked by AquaChoco1997.
In December, ChickenLover21 started the "Today in Angry Birds" project that detailed important Angry Birds events that occurred for each day of the calendar year.
In terms of media, Angry Birds Reloaded and season 2 of Angry Birds Slingshot Stories released that year and Angry Birds Double Crossed, Angry Birds Launch It! and Bad Piggies 2 were announced.
2022
In 2022, ChickenLover21 became a bureaucrat while PalkiaHere and Reece2oo9 became content moderators. The wiki was then spotlighted in April 2022 to celebrate the release of Rovio Classics: Angry Birds on the explore page. AquaChoco1997 unfortunately resigned her bureaucrat rights and retired that year after being on the wiki for nearly ten years. During some forum drama in March and April, JaydonKing4K and NightSkyChoco were demoted and SplitPea1 resigned from his position. After the conflict, Mosquitosquisher7 & Reece2oo9 received moderator positions and Yasermeddour20 was promoted to admin. Throughout the month of June, ChickenLover21 updated the wiki’s dark theme and made other internal upgrades to the site. In July, GeeGolden was promoted to thread moderator. On September 4th, the wiki was given its first ever Wiki Representative TimeShade.[2] In November, Leonard de abibis was promoted to content moderator with Reece2oo9 being globally banned for violating the Terms of Use and policy on duplicate wikis.[3][4][5]
2023
In 2023, the Angry Birds Wiki and r/angrybirds Discord server was merged with the Angry Birds Community server as a result of a restructuring plan in March. In May, ChickenLover21 announced he will be less active on the wiki starting in August and lasting until late December. In June, the English and the Russian Angry Birds wikis collaborated to expand each other’s comic articles. In July, a new social media template was revealed as a result of API embed issues. As a result of wikis such as Minecraft and Zelda wikis forking, the wiki's staff team made an announcement stating we will not move wiki hosts in the near future. In November, this wiki enabled the "Thanks extension", which allows editors to easily thank a user for their individual contributions to an article.
2024
In 2024, User:OinkyOinkers was promoted to content moderator. In March, the wiki started to move individual Angry Birds Star Wars and Angry Birds Transformers character articles to Angryverse articles as a result of a community poll. As well, TimeShade was no longer a wiki representative due to the closure of the program. In May, all "History and appearances" subpages were merged with their respective Angryverse counterparts.
In August, the wiki background changed from full-screen to header thanks to suggestions by DiegoUreta68. In that same month, the interwiki link color was changed from green to blue which was encouraged by the Fandom customization policy for colorblind users. On August 11, the wiki made a post calling out Rovio for the false promises they gave on their Rovio Classics: Angry Birds delisting response, such as the lack of events for Angry Birds Journey.[6] On August 31, the wiki's coverage on Dr. PigRespect reached 1.3 million views and 67,000 likes.
On October 31, the wiki's coverage on Angry Birds Block Quest gained over 3 million views and 600+ likes, with multiple articles being written using quote tweets.
On November 1, the wiki started the removal process of the PageHeader template due to it including repeated information already in most of the articles.
On December 17, the wiki started the replacement process of the "General Character Pages" in favor of using each character's most commonly used Angryverse appearance, as the former included information from each Angryverse.
