Good to see we're finally fighting back against Fandom
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.

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.

Not only that but GW2 also can link items and skills in the chat so that someone else can view them. And the best part is that this also works with the wiki command.
So, for example, you found an item and want to know what it is and what you can use to for, just link it after /wiki and you are redirected to the full page of that item.
Unfortunately, I lately have issues with firefox in which the first wiki command somehow screws with my firefox and thinks that it needs to restart before being able to work correctly.

Here's the most useful one, IMO:
/wiki etIt takes you to the event timers page, so you can see when the world events are going to happen.

I know this is a joke.
But seriously from my heart
Fuck you.

Try the browser add-on Indie Wiki Buddy.
It suggests a better wiki when you browse one on Fandom.
edit: there is an open issue to add the official Vampire Survivors wiki: https://github.com/KevinPayravi/indie-wiki-buddy/issues/1102
Just to add on to this, in those unfortunate cases where there really is only Fandom, you can use an extension like LibRedirect which will redirect any Fandom pages to a breezewiki instance, which is a stripped down, privacy respecting, no BS front end for Fandom.

For anyone looking for a wonderful example of this, check out the RuneScape wiki. It’s hosted by a company that is partnered with the game maker, and is fully maintained by the community. It is the single most expansive and in-depth wiki I have ever seen. It is truly the gold standard for what a wiki should aspire to be.
It has everything
resource you’ll need to get [y] experience, or what your estimated return on investment will be for turning [x] resource into [y] product.The game has over 250 quests, (and not just basic fetch or kill quests like most MMO’s have) and the wiki has in-depth walkthroughs (including in-game screenshots) for every single one.
You can even open the wiki directly from the game. There’s a “Wiki” button on the chat box, so you can search the wiki directly via chat, and it opens in your desktop browser.
