==History== Wookieepedia was conceived by Steven Greenwood and created at the request of hosting site Fandom by Chad Barbry in 2005. On February 6, 2005, Greenwood and Barbry discussed details on a Wikipedia talk page which led to the wiki's creation. Barbry also conceived the name Wookieepedia. On March 4, 2005, Wookieepedia was launched at Fandom (then called Wikicities).
