Marvel Cinematic Universe Wiki (MCU Wiki) is a fan-made online encyclopedia for information about the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) franchise.[1] The site covers MCU media from both Marvel Studios and Marvel Television, as well as the Marvel One-Shot short films, tie-in comics, and video games. The site also has articles detailing the franchise's in-universe timeline through original research.[2] Like other Fandom-hosted wikis, the site is primarily managed by its own users, with limited oversight from the company.

History

Marvel Cinematic Universe Wiki was created in October 2010 by Fandom user Jamesfbeardo, who became inactive less than a year later.[3] Being disorganized and relatively inactive for its first two years, it became more active in 2012 after the release of The Avengers.[4] In 2014, after a change in site administration, the editing policies were expanded, making the site more uniform.[5][6]

In June of 2021, the site was affected by new global LGBTQIA+ guidelines instituted by Fandom, which were created due to an incident involving deadnaming on Wookieepedia, another wiki hosted by the company.[7]
