The '''Mystery Dungeon Franchise Wiki''', or '''MDFW''' for short, is the definitive '''''{{Meta|Mystery Dungeon}}''''' encyclopedia. This project's purpose is the total documentation of '''''everything''''' to do with ''Mystery Dungeon'' franchise. The MDFW is a place of learning for fans, enthusiasts, enjoyers, and casuals alike who wish to know more about the franchise and its history. We have a plethora of exclusive and hard-to-find information spanning games, anime shorts, manga, game music, soundtracks, guidebooks, novellas, unused content, lost media, demos, news archives, events, commercials, trivia, unofficial translations, glitches, and more.

==Origins of the Wiki==
The Mystery Dungeon Franchise Wiki originated as the {{Meta|Wikifoundry Shiren the Wanderer Wiki}} (née Wetpaint Wiki), founded by karmarogue on Wetpaint.com on March 11, 2008. The original wiki only covered the Nintendo DS release of {{Shiren1DSTitle}} in the West. It eventually grew to cover other {{ShirenSeriesTitle}} titles, primarily the 4 based on the Nintendo DS. In 2013, WikiFoundry acquired Wetpaint. The wiki was shut down in 2016 by WikiFoundry due to anonymous users spamming the site. Shiren1111 (or Nerthing) adopted the wiki, demoted the old admins, and began cleaning up and reformatting the project for the first time in years. He was later joined by Rhaining. In mid-2018, WikiFoundry was experiencing numerous issues, such as only letting moderators and admins edit and eventually, preventing anybody from logging in. In September 2018, Rhaining and Nerthing, who were tired of dealing with issues on Wikifoundry, decided it would be best to look for a new host, and forked it to Gamepedia. After more than a decade on Wetpaint/WikiFoundry, the wiki was ported to Gamepedia.com by Rhaining and Shiren1111, where cleanup and expansion continued. In November 2018, {{Admin|Jubilee}} joined the project, and was quickly made an admin.

On September 11, 2019, Jubilee upgraded the {{Meta|Gamepedia Shiren the Wanderer Wiki}} into the {{Meta|Gamepedia Mystery Dungeon Wiki}}, and began absorbing and shutting down the various Fandom.com Mystery Dungeon Wikis, as part of Fandom's "community unification project". When Fandom announced they would be retiring the Gamepedia.com domain, and importing Gamepedia wikis to the Fandom.com domain on November 4, 2020, the {{MDFW|Community portal|wiki team}} began to prepare for separation from Fandom/Gamepedia. On November 7, 2020 admins {{Admin|Adkuate}}, {{Admin|B}} (then user), and Jubilee took the wiki independent and rebranded it as the Mystery Dungeon Franchise Wiki to differentiate it from the Gamepedia branch. Four days later, the wiki was done being imported, and a years-long cleanup effort began. The scope was shifted to cover all things ''Mystery Dungeon'', no longer being hindered by Gamepedia's game-only limitations, and once again, the site experienced exponential growth.

For a more in-depth timeline of events, see the Mystery Dungeon Franchise Wiki timeline below.

==Tagline==
"The Mystery Dungeon tree of information" is the tagline of the MDFW, referencing the wiki's tree structure. Each series in the franchise receives its own branch "lore" wiki, and in turn each entry in each series also receives its own branch wiki, with every branch wiki having its own leaf pages, exploring the topics in detail. Each leaf page also links back to its branch, as well as the main "lore" branch, which also acts as disambiguation between the many leaf pages across the various branches.
