MLK Raid
This raid is the pre-Wolf Moon raid as it is related to it. Starting off with NotTheNoob101 making a post saying weird stuff about Joshdagamer. At first, he was not doing much but the community made some weird posts. Eventually, NotTheNoob101 vandalized a page and he was shortly banned but his post wasn't deleted until January 31 by RedKingdomOrder.

The Wolf Moon Raid
This raid was a special one, as it involved many different alt accounts. It is also the biggest known raid of the Ron wiki to date, which took place near the end of January 2021 The raid as presumably ended. This series of raids is caused by unknown people with many alt accounts. They could possibly be from x.spy or people from the RoN Discord. The aim is to defame the wiki as well as the people moderating them, especially TheRichSeries. Only two methods of vandalism were implemented, and they are 1. spam creating pages and 2. spamming the discussions area. They also created many 18+ posts and shipped RedKingdomOrder, JHRacer, and Therealbounber. This demoralized them and made them destroyed.

However, on the last days they have tried two new tactics, they impersonated TheRichSeries for some reason, and they created a ship between two unrelated RoN Wiki users.

This raid is the longest raid and the one that resulted in the most people banned in the history of the wiki. It is also the only raid with shipping.

Bans
The raids resulted in 34 people banned. All of them are listed below (includes alt accounts):

Aftermath
The wiki is now in a state of demoralization. Even though the content was untouched, after the initial raid, the RoN community (TheRichSeries) was plagued by the staggering amount of alts. He had gone on to ban (number) amounts of people before stopping. Some of them seemed to hint at a larger raid in the near future. The last raid was so damaging that the SOAP team had to step in.

Due to RealKnockout's late response, there were calls and polls to have more active mods such as RedKingdomOrder, so RedKingdomOrder became admin on January 29th. Unfortunately, KingstonsChoppin and Eveisrude was banned by FANDOM for unknown reasons

Early February Raid/Groundhog Raid
This is still incomplete, but revolves around user PontiusPilate34 advertising a future raid on multiple pages via redirects. The entire wiki had pages redirected, and vandals managed to get past their abuse filter. RedKingdomOrder managed to block certain accounts, but the damage of the raid was fixed en masse by a regular editor named ForgeLoxus. As the pages were being restored, RealKnockout got online, and finally managed to stop a raid (this is the first raid he has played a major part in mitigating). He mass deleted pages, blocked raiders, and restored some pages. He has also added new filters and toughened automated punishments for making edits which are identified as vandalism. RedKingdomOrder makes a poll saying that he wants a another admin that lives in Europe or Asia. Most people want ForgeLoxus to become an admin.

Speculations around the cause
The people are behind all of this are unknown, although some sources (notably JTE27#0002, who was assumed to have started the raid due to a "Nice Little Warning page") point to x.spy.

The April Revolution
The April Revolution was a failed coup that took place on April 16th, 2023 when a user named Vlusaven decided to enter the Rise of Nations Wiki to solely harass Arrentia, a new discussion moderator, and the Rise of Nations Wiki Staff, by posting polls that sought to overthrow and "impeach" the entirety of the staff team. The alleged perpetrator was already problematic in other wikis, such as the Nico Nextbots and DOORS.

Months before the raid, a user known as Java was talking to Arrentia, who moderated the Nico's Nextbots wiki. Arrentia brought up a topic from Java's past he was offended by, which caused Java to have a grudge against him. Around the same time, a user known as Yaschen began to vandalize pages on the Nico's Nextbots wiki. After she was blocked, she made threatening posts about Arrentia, which caused her to be globally blocked. Together with Octavia and Java they plotted to demote Arrentia.

A day before the "raid" occured, a user known as GeneralBottomText posted an offensive joke on a post that commemorated the Titanic tragedy. He later apologized. Due to said post being locked down by Arrentia, Xboom123123 criticized his actions by posting a forum that escalated the issue and claimed the moderator’s citation was "oversensitive" and dark humor jokes involving catastrophic events should be accepted.

Powernugget, a prominent discussant in the RoN Wiki, posted a message on XBoom’s message wall, about a topic of his previous post. Xboom replied with a harsh attitude that he firmly did not care, while Vlusaven, appeared in the thread and asked Xboom to unite sides to coup the RoN Wiki Staff Team. In response, Xboom accepted. The thread would go on until being locked, and during the time it was active, Vlusaven decided to ask for support by calling out other wikis, Backrooms and DOORS, for the plan to seize power. Powernugget would later wish them a good luck message without being involved.

In response, Arrentia, Rabby, Superduperwhoopershmooperregularperson, and Dxrknrg, the primary belligerents who are associated with the staff team, had a conversation in the RoN Discord on how to retaliate following the posts that heightened the conflict. In conclusion, Rabby decided to ban three users, XBoom and Vlusaven for initially thirty days, before Vlusaven was blocked indefinitely after a background check of underlying controversy in separate wikis, while Powernugget, a person who pleaded them a constructive message to coup, was banned for 7 days. Arrentia would soon ping Vector Sigma, the Wiki Representative of the RoN Wiki, to ban Xboom and Vlusaven on Fandom, and in response, they were blocked globally across the website. Thus, ending the conflict. Vlusaven (original account name Yaschen), Java, and Octavia, three high-profile raiders, continue to be a threat. But unexpectedly, an old user and former Discussions Admin by the name of RedElephantKing (formerly RedKingdomOrder) rejoined the wiki. He originally only planned to stay for a few weeks but after the April Revolution happened, he decided to stay and take up a position as Discussions Moderator. GeneralBottomText, the same user who kickstarted the entire thing, would infiltrate, spy on, and finally organize a raid on their message board on Trello where they planned for a raid. He turned it into a secondary discussion forum for the RoN wiki.

Post-April Revolution Raids
After the April Revolution ended, hostilities between the pro-wiki users and the National Liberation Organization (the name Vluslaven's group branded themselves as) would remain high. This resulted in three minor raids, one of which was a counter-raid against the NLO.

On 4/19/2023, Octavia launched a raid against the RoN wiki and spammed "Java sucks" as well as made some minor damage to pages. This raid was quickly dealt with and the damage was reversed. After the raid, the NLO's Trello (which was for some reason was public) got leaked. On this Trello, a user known as "Ass", who most likely is Vlusaven, and some other prominent members of the NLO discussed their plans and also accused Arrentia of committing crimes without proof.

Six days later, GeneralBottomText and some other wiki users launched a raid against the NLO. This raid was meant to simply disrupt the NLO's plans but hours later, an unknown user (who could've either been pro-Wiki or NLO, although most likely the former) escalated the situation by spamming swastikas all over the Trello. Arrentia condemned this action and stated that counter-raiding was unacceptable. After this, the NLO created another Trello but made it private.

After the incident, on 4/26/2023, another raid by Octavia was launched against the RoN wiki. This raid was slightly larger than the first one and the forums and pages were spammed with "........................................................". Once again, this raid was quickly dealt with and the damage was reversed.
