There's an ongoing mini-revolution against Fandom, with the wikis that have the manpower moving away to other platforms like wiki.gg, WeirdGloop, or just self-hosted. Minecraft, WoW, Runescape, LoL, etc.
- j3s 2y agoyep! i recommend indie wiki buddy for discovering these sorts of community-led wikis. the extension recognizes when you’re on fandom and recommends equivalent community wikis instead fandom will not take down old wikis (that’d be bad for SEO), so the fandom content persists even after a full community migration. just one of the many shitty things that company does.

- diggan 2y agoIf only we could have something similar but official for Starfield. For some very stupid reason, Bethesda decided to launch official modding support with Starfield while their wiki is "temporarily down for maintenance". But it's been like that for at least 1 year, so seems unlikely to ever come back, and who the fuck takes down something so vital for a feature you're shipping in a major game anyways, without letting a read-only copy remain online at least?
- Kye 2y agoThe moved-out Minecraft wiki is finally starting to get competitive in search with Fandom. At least on DuckDuckGo. I used to have to dig for it.
