The name comes from Gamepedia, where the program originated. On Gamepedia, Wiki Managers are the ones who set up the skeleton of the wiki with custom skin, starter pages, and categories. We kept the name when the program got expanded to Fandom in the name of consistency and familiarity for editors.
