Topicalballs 
, or 
The Neo-Topicalballs , Topicballs, 
Globalballs , and all other names used for this wiki is a collaborative wiki about the Balls meme genre and art style. Think of the Polandball Wiki, Companyballs Wiki, Polcompball Wiki and all other Ball spinoffs and combined into one humongous wiki.
History
Ball Wiki
Andrei tried to create a page for 
Egyptball on the 
Rage Comics Wiki but shortly after on the 2nd of July, 2023, 
Fandom took the page down because it was a 
Polandball-related topic according to 
Kimberton,[1] one of the customer support staff of Fandom. The deletion of the page led to 
Andrei making the very first iteration of the Topicalballs Wiki on the 27th of August, 2023, meant to act as a revival of the 
Polandball Wiki on Fandom. It didn't take much time until people finding about the wiki (Andrew, Mika, Heterodontosaurus, Sriverssun, etc.).
The wiki lasted for 10 months until on the 18th of June, 2024, due to a request by Goverment of Sus, the wiki got taken down via staff request.[2]
The Neo Topicalballs Wiki/The Country Wiki
After a takedown of the original Ball Wiki, Andrei decided to make "The Neo Topicalballs Wiki", or "TNTB Wiki" for short and he proceeded to make a few changes in hopes that Fandom wouldn't take it down (such as Polandball being upside down, the -ball suffix being removed which was why it was called "The Country Wiki" for some time).
The Country Wiki
Shortly after the shut down of the other Country Wiki, Mika decided to make "The Country Wiki", and by using Heterodontosaurus's icons he used in his own wiki. However, it only lasted a week before getting shut down.
Globalballs Wiki
After the short-lived Country Wiki, Andrei told Irish that they should move to 
Miraheze. After a failed attempt, the Globalballs Wiki was born. It used a tactic to use Planetball characters as their mascot since Fandom does allow Planetball wikis and Andrei During the last few days, File:Sigma Cultism-icon.png 97104Fan promoted himself in a Squidward ideology page. Irish banned his accounts. 97104Fan revealed the wiki was reported.[3]
PBall Wiki
Neo Globalballs Wiki
LB tried to make a revival of the Globalballs Wiki and made it as a part of a sister alliance on the main page of the PBall Wiki, however, it only lasted 3 hours before getting swiftly taken down, making it the shortest lived wiki out of them all.
Planetballs Fanon Wiki/Allballs Wiki/Planetballs Anarchy Wiki
LB made the Planetballs Fanon Wiki in secret for about a day until he revealed to the discord server.
Circles Wiki
Roundpedia
Moving out of 
FANDOM
The proposal of moving out of Fandom wasn't a new concept. Back in the discussion page of the TNTB Wiki, LB proposed to move out of Fandom and onto .png){kind=icon}
Miraheze as the Mikaspace Viewer Wars Wiki got taken down, but Goldenboi123 said that they could join the Polandball and Polcompball wikis on Miraheze. But the plan didn't go through as TNTB would be later be taken down at a the 22nd of September 2024. On October, Andrei told Irish that they should move to Miraheze but though it failed due to the disallowance of ball wikis.
LB would eventually try to request the wiki on Miraheze in hopes that the staff would approve, but that turned out to be more difficult than anticipated. When Heterodontosaurus told LB that Miraheze doesn't approve ball wikis anymore, he asked others for answers and found himself with conflicting answers, but DualPlay tried to give LB advice on how to get it approved but that fell short when they declined 2 times, one stating that Ball wikis aren't allowed because of moderation issues and followed by LB stating that he has moderated on the old wikis and said it'll be fine which led up the the second decline from Raidarr.[4]
After the failure of the Miraheze request, DualPlay proposed to move to either to 
Wikidot, Encyclopaedia Polandballae (to which 
Taxcymus, the operator of Encyclopaedia Polandballae, declined due to it being pointless to make a wiki for all the balls) and 
SkyWiki (which would eventually become the current wiki farm hosting Topicalballs).

The early era

On the 23rd of December 2024, LB decided to create the latest official wiki, marking the end of constant paranoia from Fandom and hoped to succeed. But since LB didn't have any experience with making a non-Fandom wiki beforehand, there were alot of stuff not included from the out of the box experience Fandom gives whenever a wiki is created such as MessageBox modules and struggled with making the Infobox parameters. Eventually Andrei and Irish would slowly quit the wiki as at the time, they typically don't like wikis that aren't on Fandom because they don't have extra out of the box features that is special to Fandom's version of 
MediaWiki such as the Discussions page.
YouTube exposure-era
As a last ditch effort to save the wiki from going inactive, on the 30th of January 2025, LB promoted the wiki on his 
YouTube channel by making a video showcasing the wiki and advertises it by linking the wiki in the description. Multiple new people joined in such as 
Dardanian Mapping, Rus-Emp-Mapper and Bouss0le31 which he will eventually make the French Topicalballs Wiki on the 3rd of February.
Wiki Topicalball En Français
After Bouss0le31's exposure to the wiki, he made a french-language wiki of the Topicalballs Wiki (not to be confused with the french TNTB wiki which has no correlation with it) and began working on making alot of pages. Similar to LB, he has not alot of experience with MediaWiki. Bouss0le31 began to promote the wiki in 
french speaking countryball circles such as Jopimmia. LB was made aware about the wiki as the official discord server was advertised on Jopimmia, which he then joined and got banned by Marcanie for speaking in a foreign language other than french and Marcanie quickly accused him for copying the french wiki on which he stated that the wiki was made long before the french wiki. After that, LB asked Bouss0le31 if he could be admin to which he gave him admin rights and added multiple extensions such as the iconic Cosmos skin, MultimediaViewer
