Purpose |

Fanloid Wiki is a collaborative website about the original and derivative characters relating to the Vocaloid program, these characters are referred to as Fanmade Vocaloids. The wiki format allows anyone to create or edit any article, so we can all work together to create the site. There are 2,035 articles and growing.
History
It appears that the original purpose of this wiki was for personal use of the founder's characters, however, it seemed other characters would have been allowed if contributors requested it. The Fanloid Wiki has changed to become a place for enthusiastic Vocaloid fans to create pages for their characters. The reason for a sister site is because the Vocaloid Wiki became more focused on official information, rendering fanmade pages outdated, unorganized, and largely unneeded. Fanloid Wiki has been gradually building by having Fanmade Vocaloid related characters as articles. This Wiki was adopted in August 2011 by User:Bunai82 (the current admin and founder), originally it was User:Koolkid495 with his characters called Fanloid a group instead of a concept that would apply to other things.
Administrators
The wiki is currently founded by (User:Bunai82). See adoption approval here. It is unknown what the original intent of the previous founder was (User:Koolkid495), since the "Fanloids" a group of characters originally called Cooloids, are about them being fans of official Vocaloids and thus it does not speak of the premise "Fanmade Vocaloid".
