Here’s hoping they migrate to wiki.gg as Terraria’s contributors have a while ago.

      When the old school RuneScape wiki moved to a self hosted solution it was night and day the quality difference. I’d argue that OSRS (and probably regular RS) have some of the best wikis in gaming.

      https://osrs.wiki

        From what I’ve heard, the RS3 wiki was even better, but for sure both are fantastic. Prime examples of how wikis should work. They’re even fully integrated into the game.

      Several have, including the old school RuneScape wiki!

      Now there’s two, and one is far more content full

    Going to Fandom is like visiting a annoying dying person because they hold the hidden information.

    Lol, they moved out from Reddit and now they moved out from Fandom.

    But their solution could be as simple as make their own wiki.

      Imagine if we already had all the tools needed, and all that’s missing is a bit of hosting and a bit of moderation. If only there was a company with some extra cash behind this… haha.

      But it’s seriously time people retake some kind of control over their online activity. All these “services” looking at every occasion to screw their user is getting annoying.

        This isn’t about Mojang. This is about a wiki that is mostly maintained by fans but endorsed by Mojang as the official wiki. If MS tries to force some bullshit Teams or SP solution via Mojang and official branding, the fans will likely abandon it in favor of an unofficial one not hogtied to some BS MS ecosystem.

    I hope the Fallout and Final Fantasy wikies also migrate out from fandom. Back when they were wikia, they were a lot better. It feels that the search function on fandom is so bad that half the time you’re better off going on google and slapping your search there instead.

    Fandom is barely usable at this point. I feel like they’re just relying on no one wanting to put in the effort of coordinating a migration elsewhere.

    I would love to see a federated wiki platform form somehow, as centralization has honestly been pretty terrible for both wikipedia and wikia/fandom.

    Does anyone know how wiki.gg makes money? Wiki hosting side without stable income will just get bought out by bigger player or turn bad like fandom

      Use the Ublock Origin extension if you aren’t, I’m getting no popups with that.

        I am! I still got a newsletter popup thing in the middle of trying to highlight and copy some text.
