WikiAnswers evolved slowly, one step at a time, to become the website you see today.

It was started in 2002 by Chris Whitten under the name FAQ Farm. The mission was essentially the same as it is today. Users would help each other by asking and answering questions.

In 2004 FAQ Farm adapted wiki software. Before it was a wiki, answers on FAQ Farm could only be appended one after another, much as you see on other Q&A sites.

In November 2006, a major step forward happened when the site became part of Answers.com. In early 2007 it was renamed WikiAnswers.
