Hi! I just saw your question in chat about why there are two Brickipedias. Originally there was only one, the one on Wikia (which also goes by Fandom now), so technically that was the first. However, most of the users here were originally admins and editors there (myself included), but we got fed up with Wikia's slow transition into Fandom. We thought that they were forcing too many ads onto the page which interfered with the content of the article, trying to transform an educational resource into a social media platform, and tampering with the design too much (I personally have trouble even loading a Wikia article now; it takes a very long time). After failing to negotiate, we decided to splinter off and move to a new wiki (here) where we could have more control. Wikia didn't want their number one toy wiki to suddenly disappear though, so they refused to delete the original site or even to let the move be openly acknowledged there once we were all gone.

So when you ask which Brickipedia was the first, it depends what you mean. If you mean the place, it's at wikia. If you mean the community, it's here. I hope this helps, and if you have any more questions, please contact me. :) Berrybrick (talk) 13:20, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
