VexiWiki is an online flag encyclopedia and wiki. If you would like to join us, you can go to VexiWiki:Welcome.
Goal[]
The goal of VexiWiki is to provide a reliable and easy-to-understand flag encyclopedia and community that anyone can edit.
History[]
Founding[]
Name[]
The name "VexiWiki" is dervied from the prefix vexillo- (meaning flag-related) and wiki (a website format that members can edit, or in this wiki's case, that anyone can edit).
Request[]
VexiWiki was founded on September 2, 2007, by FlagFreak at the Wikia Requests site.
Flag[]
After VexiWiki was approved by Angela, and was being set up, FlagFreak quickly designed the first VexiWiki flag incorporating a chevron design to represent the letter V.
At the end of 2008, a design on the VexiWiki design page was supported by many users, and was later adopted on the first day of 2009. This is the flag in our logo today.
Expansion[]
First article[]
The first article was about the flag of Libya, because of its simple design that made it easy to write about.
More users[]
On September 6, 2007, a new user joined Wikia, bringing the number to 2. On February 18, 2008, Villa Cruoninga joined VexiWiki, and because of excellent contributions, later became a sysop to help out with expanding the wikia. So far, VexiWiki has had 303 users, some of which are active, 8 of which are administrators.
