History
Launch and early growth
The domain famepedia.org was registered on January 9, 2020[4].
FAMEPedia was using famepedia.co.in before registration of its current official domain name. FAMEPedia gained early contributors from other wikis (including but not limited to the English Wikipedia) Gyaanipedia and web search engine indexing.
Sunil Butolia had a special interest in the internet. He was attracted to Google's Knowledge Panel (also known as Knowledge Graph), he wished to have his own Knowledge panel on search engine giant.
In 2018 finally, he achieved his own knowledge panel and the process taught him many interesting things that are required to trigger knowledge panel like Schema Markup, Knowledge Graph and Structured Data etc.
He learnt that Wikipedia's sister website Wikidata can trigger knowledge panel very fast but the website only allows entity creation about notable person or things so Sunil Butolia started his own websites Wikipedia and Wikidata in the form of FAMEPedia and FAMEData.
