Following the closure of the Drew Pickles and the BB Wiki, Skewt teamed up with [[SavageBoy69|SavageBoy]] to create the Speakonia Community Wiki on Miraheze, the same engine used for Wikipedia, on March 24 and 25, 2019. Much of what could be salvaged from the previous wiki was brought forth to the one on Miraheze, and to this day, it remained as one of the most clear and complete picture of the community during the 2010s, with pages about community members, characters, events, and even certain videos. Miraheze's rules and regulations were also not as strict as they were on Fandom, allowing more leeway as far as what content could be posted. The wiki was maintained on a semi-regular basis until November 2020, when SavageBoy announced his retirement. Following this, updates to the wiki would stop, resulting in it becoming inactive. Miraheze would soon lock the wiki from edits and put it up for adoption, with the threat of closure if it wasn't adopted soon, but it was too little, too late, and the wiki would finally close in August 2021. An archived version is accessible via the WaybackMachine, though many of its pages are now lost. However, SavageBoy did manage to find an archived backup of the wiki in 2022, and is extracting a few of its pages.

With the fate of the Miraheze wiki uncertain before its shutdown, IronYoshi (under the username RonaldMcMotherF***ingDonald) decided to start up a new wiki back up on Fandom on May 20, 2021. As with the previous wiki, he salvaged as many pages as he could before the Miraheze wiki shut down, while also expanding on certain articles and creating new ones on characters and users who weren't on the Miraheze wiki. He would add a few rules to the Wiki to maintain quality over quantity, mostly in adding in pages about characters and users who have left a major impact on the community or had plenty of information on, though this would be challenged after StraightFusion started adding in elements from his own take on the BB canon (alongside the copious amount of Sandbox pages he created), in addition to inserting himself into several articles and adding several pages where there is little to no information on the particular subject~~. With the revelation that Fandom has been taking down wikis associated with the Barney Bunch, the fate of this wiki remains in the air~~. It would also serve as the basis for this wiki, with IronYoshi ultimately deciding that two wikis would be beneficial, should something happen to one or the other.

Unfortunetly, following Fandom's recent string of purging wikis relating to the Barney Bunch, the fate of the Speakonia Community Wiki was ultimately sealed, and was shut down on April 5, 2023.
