Starfield is currently undergoing a bit of a wiki arms race. There's at least four that I know of, plus an honorable mention:
• https://starfieldwiki.net https://starfieldwiki.net
• https://starfield.fandom.com https://starfield.fandom.com
• https://starfield.wiki.fextralife.com https://starfield.wiki.fextralife.com
• https://www.starfielddb.com https://www.starfielddb.com
• https://www.ign.com/wikis/starfield https://www.ign.com/wikis/starfield (this is the honorable mention)
None of them are complete, and all have vastly different ideas on how it should work and look. Want to know what the best shield generator is? Some wikis will have their own page on them, others just have it stuffed into a table called "starship components", maybe divided by category.

Whats interesting is that Ward Cunningham saw all these problems YEARS ago, and started pushing for a federated wiki experience. Doesn't seem to have caught on outside a very small niche circle, sadly. IMO because the various wikis that implement the federated wiki are lacking a lot of features that other wiki engines provide
- ivanjermakov 3y agoIf game developers question how to design something, I suggest checking how Wube (Factorio developers) did it: https://wiki.factorio.com https://wiki.factorio.com.
- paradox460 3y agoAnother good example is the TeamFortress wiki: https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Main_Page https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Main_Page Started as a community wiki, and then Valve started hosting it and supporting it a few years later. They leave most of the admin up to the community, but do step in as needed for Terms of Service.
