The Hetalia Wiki, informally known as Hetapedia, is an online wiki encyclopedia dedicated to providing the most updated and comprehensive information about the series Hetalia (ヘタリア, Hetaria) by Hidekaz Himaruya (日丸屋秀和, Himaruya Hidekazu). This wiki includes information about everything within the Hetalia universe, all the various Hetalia medias, and behind-the-scenes details about the series.
Hetapedia is hosted by Fandom.com, which receives profit from advertisements on its wikis and is responsible for technical issues on the site. However, Hetapedia content is written, edited, and maintained entirely by fans, and edits are copyrighted by the users who made them (see here for more information about Fandom's copyright policies).
You may find there are several things that are out of date or that have not been added here yet. Unfortunately, the wiki went unmoderated for several years so there are many major changes that need to occur. But don't worry! We are currently trying out best to update and revamp! Our team is rather small, so this is a colossal and time consuming task, but we gladly welcome any and all contributions!
History[]
This wiki site was originally created on January 2, 2009 by Icelilly, back when Fandom.com was still called Wikia. The site was named "Hetalia Archives" and the first article created was the one for England. The site did not have much traction until March of 2009 when Ceras discovered the site and began making articles, and soon many more people were made aware of the site and it was revived.
On October 25, 2010, it was announced that the site may possibly change in servers due to Wikia's new Oasis skin, and it was decided by the community at the time that it was best to leave and host the wiki on another site. This move began on November 3, 2010 and was finished on December 14. From that point forward, this site, the Hetalia wiki on Fandom.com, has been completely separate from the Hetalia Archives team and their wiki. Hetalia Archives is still active, running the Hetarchive.net site (and its associated social media accounts), the Hetascanlations tumblr account, and the current Hetalia Archives Wiki (also known as the Hetalia Kitawiki). Please see their page here for more details on the history of Hetalia Archives.
It should be noted that you may notice similarities or exact quotations on both wikis, which are a result of the move from Fandom (then called Wikia) to another host and the lack of updating this site received in the years after. In our effort to renovate and update this wiki we will be doing massive rewrites, which will remove those similarities and any perceived plagiarism.
Much of the history of what went on with this wiki site after the severing of ties with Hetalia Archives is unclear, as our current team were not involved. However, it is known that in March of 2011, Icelilly (who was still somewhat active answering questions about the wiki move, providing updates, and removing vandalism) appointed WonderfulAsia and FH14 to be administrators and bureaucrats, though FH14 was inactive by 2013. In January of 2014, WonderfulAsia appointed Roseoffire, Allusional, and Jazzgx to be administrators and bureaucrats. However, this team of four administrators did not last all that long. Jazzgx became inactive before the end of 2014. WonderfulAsia became inactive by early 2015. Roseoffire became inactive in the middle of 2015 but returned to make a few edits in 2021 and 2022. Allusional was active until 2020, but their edits became sporadic after 2015. Additionally, two content moderators, Night the cringe2 and KuyaReCom, were appointed by Allusional in 2019 and 2020 respectively, but both were inactive by 2021.
Throughout this long period of having inactive admins and not much moderation, the site grew to be extremely behind, was not as accurate at it should have been, and had many vandalism issues. It was in fact notorious for this, with several fans encouraging use of the Hetalia Archives wiki instead because it was up to date and had less bias and vandalism.
However, this changed in January of 2023. Allegro31, after a while of being frustrated with the inaccuracy of this wiki, finally was inspired to make an account after seeing a user on TikTok bragging about vandalizing the wiki. She reversed the vandalisms (and became determined to fix and update throughout the wiki). However, the vandal kept adding their edits back, and the ensuing back-and-forth then prompted Allegro to search for the social media of any of the inactive admins, and when successful, ask for content moderator permissions because there were no active moderators. This was granted, and Allegro has been moderating and updating the wiki ever since.
In August 2023, MysticFantasy08 filed an adoption request with Fandom Staff to become an administrator and bureaucrat, which was then granted. MysticFantasy08 gave Allegro administrator privileges, and now they are the main team running the wiki.
Since this, many revamps have been undertaken to improve the wiki, such as instating new theme coloring and logo, officially changing the sitename from "Hetalia Archives" to "Hetalia Wiki" to further emphasize that it is separated from and unaffiliated with the Hetalia Archives team, as well as working slowly but surely to update its content.
