The idea of a MediaWiki based Microsoft Agent wiki that was not hosted by FANDOM was proposed by TMAFE members in 2019. Initially, Frontierpedia used MediaWiki 1.32.0 on ShoutWiki, a wiki-farm service. However, confusion about MediaWiki led to TMAFE members supporting the FANDOM Konnor88/TMAFE Wiki. However, by March 2021, TMAFE members were displeased with the policies, restrictions, and feature issues on FANDOM. As a result, the first successful iteration of Frontierpedia was launched.
