Jamie creates the first article on February 11th, 2004: that article being the main page.
Nothing much happens on the wiki during this year.
===2006===
2006 is a year of slow yet steady growth. The number of articles on the wiki jump from 5 to 73 by the end of the year. Much of this growth is thanks to a wikipedian by the name of [[User:Chrisyudbs|Chrisyudbs]]. The earliest articles created this year include ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'', ''[[The Sims]]'', and [[Mortimer Goth]].
===2007===
2007 is a year of surprisingly rapid growth. With the help of [[User:Mhavril39|Mhavril39]], [[User:Amthysteyes2|Amthysteyes2]], and several other editors, the number of articles on the wiki jump from 73 to 391.
===2008===
This year brought much change and a new traffic of users. After going
On May 14, 2008, Makiah promoted A morris to an administrator. Makiah became inactive later in the year.
===2009===
2009 became a hot year for the wiki as users anticipated for the release of ''[[The Sims 3]]''. More growth occured in this year than the previous years combined. June 2009 was the greatest month in Sims Wiki history, at least in terms of activity. Perhaps not coincidentally, ''[[The Sims 3]]'' was released that same month.
Growing concerned with the amount of traffic and user activity, A morris decided it was time to promote a few users. The [[The Sims Wiki:Requests for administratorship|Request for adminship]] page was created on April 10th, 2009. Very quickly, a heap of users requested rights.
[[User:Bayoubash|Bayoubash]], [[User:Random Ranaun|RandomRanaun]], [[User:Matta_jr|Matta Jr.]], [[User:KazeNoYouko|KazeNoYouko]], [[User:JEA13|JEA13]], [[User:Bob Newbie is kl|Bob Newbie is kl]], [[User:JAL|JAL]], [[User:Bella Goth|Bella Goth]], and [[User:TheDataMonster|TheDataMonster]] were all given administrator rights within a short period. They are collectively referred to as the ''Sunset Valley'' generation.

===2010===
By the time of 2010, the wiki had a permanently settled community. Many users left the wiki but passed the torch on to new users. This year (like the last) was a time of growth and a steadily growing user base.
[[User:Bleeh|Bleeh]], [[User:Frostwalker|Frostwalker]], [[User:Dharden|Dharden]], [[User:Monster2821|Monster2821]], [[User:LostInRiverview|LiR]], and [[User:Duskey|Duskey]] were granted administrator rights this year.
===2011===
This year was a relatively important as a landmark decision was made; after large amounts of discussion, heated debate, and general ranting, the canon wiki and the fanon wiki were merged. The fanon namespace was created to separately house fanon content. LiR made it official on January 21, 2011.
[[User:BobNewbie|BobNewbie]], [[User:Lost Labyrinth|LostLabyrinth]], [[User:DarthCookie|DarthCookie]], [[User:Auror Andrachome|Auror]], [[User:Thelamppost|Thelamppost]], [[User:Woganhemlock|Woganhemlock]], and [[User:XoTulleMorXo|XoTulleMorXo]], [[User:Guilherme Guerreiro|Guilherme Guerreiro]], [[User:Wir.wiryawan|Wir.wiryawan]], [[User:Andronikos Leventis|Andronikos Leventis]], and [[User:Nikel23|Nikel23]] were all promoted to administrators. They are collectively referred to as the ''Baby Boom'' generation.
The Inactive Admin Policy and the Administrative Projects were established this year.
===2012===
Another year means new users, new articles, and newly released games to cover. The fanon administrators and the canon administrators were merged into one being.
[[User:DanPin|DanPin]], [[User:Starmoonie|Starmoonie]], [[User:Bakerychaz|Bakerychaz]], [[User:AsherÉire|AsherÉire]], [[User:TheSims23|TheSims23]], [[User:Freedom50000|Freedom50000]], and [[User:Mathetesalexandrou|Mathetesalexandrou]] were all made administrators. They are collectively referred to as ''Generation X''.
===2013===
2013 was a year of stagnation and resignation. A large number of administrators resigned this year. User activity had highs and lows but it eventually dropped to a record low: 192 registered users (levels not seen since late 2009).
[[User:Waikikamukow|Waikikamukow]], [[User:Beds|Beds]], [[User:Pidgeoraptor7|Pidgeoraptor7]], [[User:JasonThePlum|JasonThePlum]], and [[User:Frostwalker|Frostwalker]] (2nd time) were all made administrators. They are collectively referred to as the ''Stagnant'' generation.
Tensions between users seemed to flare this year; one user described it as being the veterans versus the new contributors.
As a result of one nomination [[The_Sims_Wiki:Requests_for_administratorship/Archive_5#HanaGoth96_2|in particular]], the whole nomination process was revamped.
===2014===
2014 brought hope and renewal to the wiki as ''[[The Sims 4]]'' was announced.
[[User:K6ka|K6ka]] and [[User:Icemandeaf|Icemandeaf]] were made administrators this year. These two are currently referred to as the ''New Decade'' generation.
