Very nice to see. Might start playing again to 100% it (yet again) now that there's an actual useful wiki for it. Always love to see pure media wiki usage. I wish we could just scrub Fandom's one now.

We did the same for The Talos Principle Wiki.
The community is hosting its own MediaWiki rather than rely on Fandom.
The Monster Hunter community just did the same: https://monsterhunterwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page
Folks finally got tired of the several horrible options and did it themselves. There’s also a discord for coordinating contributions if so inclined.

Based dev. Fuck fextralife and fandom
fextralife
Sometimes it feels like fextralife is filled only with stub articles.
me: "Hmm, I wonder about [a thing] in [a game]"
fextralife's entire article: "[A thing] is a thing in [a game]"
brilliant, thank you.

Honorary mention of Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages, which existed as a fan documentation hub since the mid 90s.

Good to see we're finally fighting back against Fandom

Same thing happened with minecraft.wiki too, people finally got fed up with fandom's bullshit
-
Best thing that happened to path of exile too, the devs provide the wiki platform for the community
Very based
The Guild Wars 2 (and 1) wiki is also hosted directly by the devs. It's even accessible via chat command.

shouldnt this be built in the game anyway?
It's still a wiki, I.e. user/community written content.

Fandom is icky. A few years ago, my mom was getting scammed by some conspiracy guy from LinkedIn who offered her a “job.”
These dudes set up their own fandom wiki to try to make their bullshit seem real. I can’t remember the name of the people involved but one guy was claiming that he was owed 300 trillion dollars by the government. (Can’t remember the exact number but it was astronomically high. More money than exists kinda high)

Ah, perfect, thank you. I was particularly interested because I just recently dabbled with mediawiki and ended up going with dokuwiki.

Relative to a fandom wiki: I guess? Although you are inherently going to have the same content theft problems where the vast majority of modern wikis are just ripped from the game guides that games media are still paid to prepare.
Relative to an official wiki with developer backing? No, it is not a replacement.
Also: I would generally be very wary of any of the plugins to redirect you since they have VERY broad permissions to... hijack your browser traffic. If you are keeping up to date and monitoring them you are probably fine but that feels like a great example in waiting to find out a bad actor pushed some code last week...

A lot of devs of "wiki games" have been doing this lately.
Digital Extremes/Warframe did it a month or two back. And a lot of people have speculated that https://wiki.warframe.com/w/WARFRAME_Wiki:Stakeholder_Analysis and the old fandom equivalent "explains" it but that is inherently tinfoil and biased speculation.

and then wiki.gg gets bought, as other wikis got. No thanks.
Write content in a community mediawiki maintained by the community instead.

Instructions unclear.
Locked it behind a Discord community instead.

If you browse a lot on mobile and cannot install extensions, all you have to do is replace the "fandom" in the fandom wiki URL with "antifandom"
Oh nice! I use firefox on mobile so I can still use extensions (just have to enable developer settings), but that's super handy for folks who don't have that option!

osrs.wiki lets just list them all
I'm surprised the OSRS wiki isn't mentioned more. The game itself is very community oriented as well.

The Guild Wars 2 (and 1) wiki is also hosted directly by the devs. It's even accessible via chat command.
The fact that in GW2 you can just type
/wiki subjectand get taken to the wiki page for subject is such an amazing and obvious command I'm surprised more games don't do it.

Goddamn that's awesome. Had no idea after hundreds of GW2 hours.
