Rainipedia

For the Rainimator Wiki's home page, see Skydom Wiki.
The Rainimator Wiki is the fan wiki for Rainimator and his Minecraft animated music videos. It was launched on May 11, 2019, and is hosted on the wiki platform Fandom. With articles, it has superseded and far eclipsed the official Rainimator Lorebook, which used to be the only place lore was documented. Dexter Kronos serves as the wiki's bureaucrat and later became a writer, designer and assistant animator for the Rainimator Production Team. Other names for the Rainimator Wiki are the Skydom Wikia, after a colloquial name for the Discord server, and the Rainipedia, after the domain name.
==History==
On May 11, 2019, the Rainimator Wiki was launched by a fan named RaygeByte on Fandom. Rainimator announced it on Discord, and stopped updating the Rainimator Lorebook because of it. He used the domain name rainipedia.fandom.com, and rainimator.fandom.com later got redirected to it.Under the domain rainipedia.fandom.com, Rainipedia began as the Skydom Wikia, after the name of the official Discord server. The Wiki is more commonly known as the Rainimator Wiki. Although minor variations such as the Rainimator Wikia or Skydom Wiki exist, the current name was officially decided in a 2022 staff poll as the Rainipedia. RaygeByte promoted several content moderators and administrators. Most of them, including RaygeByte abandoned the wiki, and a young fan known as Flitter2 (Dexter Kronos) became the only active administrator. A small community started to coalesce around the wiki's forums. ScriptedNonsense, an active editor who did the Daily Polls, implemented many of the wiki's current templates and technical architecture. Fan creations began to emerge. Baryonyx138 (BaryonyxDude), a current admin, had many of his creations and OCs added to Rainimator's videos, leading him to become a Rainimator Production Team member. On the other end of the spectrum, the Hogsda ship began on the wiki. When the Rainimator Wiki was most active in 2020 and 2021, the wiki community held half-serious ship wars.
In 2020, RaygeByte briefly came out of inactivity to make Flitter2 the new bureaucrat (head administrator). Flitter2 also started the Rainimator Wiki's Discord server in August and became one of the Rainimator Production Team's founding members, mainly due to her role on the wiki. She is now a writer, designer and assistant animator, helping design many of the new characters' skins. Activity dwindled on the wiki in 2022, 2023, and 2024. The only active moderators (and, generally, editors) are Flitter2, Baryonyx138, and Vortex3427. In September 2024, the Rainimator Wiki got its first-ever logo change with a temporary "Piglin Theme" that lasted until 2025.
