About
The Independent Fallout Wiki includes several individual spaces including the Mainspace (main Fallout Wiki) and Modspace (covering Fallout mods), Resources (for tools and datamining), Community (fan projects and fun), and official Discord server and social media accounts. The wiki also contains detailed walkthroughs, and is constantly updated with new content. Everyone is welcome!
Alongside our dedication to documenting the Fallout franchise, we support a positive, productive community environment that brings fan projects, content creators, and mod authors together in collaborative spaces including Fallout Mods and Community. Fallout-related project wikis are welcome, too! Version information can be found here and statistics are available here. The site map is here.

We Want You!
Every member of this site is important to the success of the Independent Fallout Wiki, regardless of their edit count, user rights, or time spent here. Each editor has the same right to give advice, ask questions, and edit pages as anyone else. Do not put yourself down by commenting, or believing, that you are "just a newbie" or that you "haven't made very many edits."
Everyone is new at some point, and we are all here to help each other learn. The perspective and knowledge of everyone are what make our work effective and comprehensive, and each contributor is equally valuable.

For newcomers looking to help out, the Independent Fallout Wiki provides learning tools for editing and managing wikis in our custom Vault-Tec Survival Guide. We also provide a free, self-guided training series at Vault-Tec University to help new editors feel comfortable contributing to the site.
Mods
We are dedicated to supporting the wider Fallout community outside of game content and feature a space dedicated to Fallout mods, also known as the modspace. The content of all articles including mods listed on this wiki must abide by the content policy.
Resource
We want to assist in the documentation of resources related to datamining and modding, as well as cover all the tools users may need to accomplish their goals.
Community
The world of Fallout expands past what is found in games and mods, and this wider community is something we are proud to feature and support here. Check out the Fallout Community hub! Content includes but is not limited to cosplay, content creators, authors, fanfiction, fan art, creations, archived documents, tabletop games, and roleplaying. Bringing together all project teams, authors, and artists in one place helps support those creating content and helps readers find and learn more about these endeavors.

Codex
The Independent Fallout Wiki Codex is a series of principles that outline the community's core values and guide its leadership.

Policies
We are an independent gaming wiki and website without a superseding policing body. Our governance, including policies and guidelines, are driven, dictated, and created by community members. Policies provide a reference for editors on recommended courses of action. They consider the collective experience of the many editors who have contributed to the site, a summary of discussions about how to best accomplish certain tasks.
