In my opinion genuine wikis provide a much nicer user experience, than Fandom wikis.

    I remember the League of Legends wiki moved away from Fandom to another wiki farm called Weird Gloop (run by the Runescape Wiki people) and the publisher of League of Legends sponsored the move. Fandom’s rules say that you are not allowed to destroy the old wiki when you move, so the admins changed the font to Comic Sans on the Fandom wiki.

      Weird Gloop are great, the RuneScape wikis are the best there is. They also host the wikis for Minecraft, Balatro, Vampire Survivors, Warframe, Smite 2 and Hytale.

        When I played Guild Wars 2 it took me a while to start using the wiki. Once I did though, I noticed they had literally API integration between the wiki and the game. The wiki would track your progress on quests to help you move forward, same with boss rotations and WvW.

        It was probably the best part of the game

          You can do this in OSRS with a plugin! It shows, quest progess, collected items, achievements made etc

          Granted that should all just be a feature of the official game and website, but it’s better than nothing.

            he official game and website

            Rather have them have an api, so many official websites and apps stop being maintained when the game stops making money

      I remember when the Minecraft wiki moved, people were griefing the fandom pages by replacing all images with a Minecraft donkey.
