    Just wanted to point out that wiki.gg is out there as a replacement. There's even a wiki.gg Redirect plugin for Firefox that takes you to the right place, if you hit a Fandom link.

    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!

          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 subject

            and get taken to the wiki page for subject is such an amazing and obvious command I'm surprised more games don't do it.

                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 et

                  It takes you to the event timers page, so you can see when the world events are going to happen.

                      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.

                            It took many years and plenty of iteration to make it there. It feels like a fever dream remembering the days Sal's realm and tip.it were king. Remember when the game map wasn't even in game, they just had a image linked at the top of the webpage?

                                  I also like /wiki ezd which opens a page telling you how to quickly do the daily and weekly objectives.

                                    OSRS wiki is BY FAR the best wiki in the entire industry.

                                      We did the same for The Talos Principle Wiki.

                                      The community is hosting its own MediaWiki rather than rely on Fandom.

                                      Same for us with the Cyber Knights: Flashpoint wiki. More devs should learn that self-hosting a community wiki for their game is not that hard.
