Grand Theft Wiki is a site about the Grand Theft Auto series of games that anybody can edit.

Grand Theft Wiki was founded in 2006, and originally hosted itself. It was hosted by Wikia from December 2007, when GTW merged with the old English GTA Wikia there. However, the wiki remained owned by its community, and operated by its own internal Staff. In October 2010, GTW left Wikia due to disrespect for the community, once again becoming an independent site.

User:Gboyers founded Grand Theft Wiki, whilst User:Thai420 founded the old en.gta.wikia.org. Gboyers still has overall strategic and operational responsibility for maintaining this wiki, aided by a number of Managers, Administrators and Inspectors.
