>Game has 1 wiki>It's fandom
>Every article is a stub>Every hyperlink is redThis predates Fandom. Everything has a wiki but very few wikis have any amount of actual effort put into maintaining them
>>741214319>>741214443Then write the articles yourselves, CHUDS!
>game has 2 male characters who are friends>fandom decides they are actually gay for each other even if the game only shows them as friends>if you disagree youre just an incel chud homophobic
>read character lore>it's some retard projecting their headcanonskyrim's fandom wiki gave me cancer
>want to save a picture to post on the chans later>its webp
>>741214558>skyrim's fandom wikiwhy would you even touch that with a 10 feet pole when UESP exists
>>741214319>your favorite game has a wiki>I'm the author
>game has 2 wikis>the fandom one is completely raped and unusable>the other one is really good
>Game has no wiki
>>741214753UESP has been compromised for years.
>>741214873osrs
>>741214525>write well thought out and researched article>removed and IP blocked from further editing because I'm not in the inner discord circle of the fags who own the wiki
>>741214558lol that's a classic. People don't check sources when writing articles, they don't have the concept of writing in a fact and data-oriented way, where every single piece of info you write down has to be traceable to a canon source.They just write what they know, a mix of canon, their own personal understanding and elaboration of canon, their headcanons and deductions that are "so obvious it's basically canon", wild theories and speculations mixed into the main text of the article even when they aknowledge that they are just theories, plus hearsay and misconceptions they got from other people who also committed all these errors.Because, what's the purpose of checking the in-game info about a character? You already know who that character is, you talk about him all the time on discord! You can just write down all the info you can remember in a stream of consciousness and call it a day.
>>741214319>Old MMO has two wikis>One has a lot of information but is outed>The other has next to nothing but what it has is in date
>>741214937?
>some believe>some think>a theory suggests
>>741214937By whom, exactly?
>>741214319Which one Is worse, fandom or fexalife?
>wiki contains information from a mod as if its base game
>>741217956Yes
>>741214319This hasn't been the case for at least a decade. Fucking Fextralife must suck amazing dick, because he always manages to have a wiki that is above the fandom one and any other one in search results every single time.
>game has a wiki>character pages include their pronouns.
>game has a fandom and no wiki>a character's age is never stated but the fandom editors arbitrarily decided she's underage so they can police nsfw art>game has one interesting plot twist>the wiki editors spoil it every opportunity they can, even if it would make no sense to mention it>game has a wiki>fandom and theory junk is listed before anything official>game has a wiki>it's so niche that nothing gets written>game has a wiki>all the links are dead and all the useful info is in their dead discord server>wiki has a discord server>the admins make a big stink about allowing minors even though it pisses off all the adult members, who now have to censor themselves>porn channels are deleted>not even a month later, one of these admins is caught grooming one of these minors>the discord server and wiki are both nuked>mmo has a wiki>no one contributes to it because none of the players actually care about the game
>>741217956Dunno the other but fandom is mega aids it loads first 99 fucking ads then the actual content from the wiki
>>741219402it's 2026 and there's still retards who don't use adblock
>game has multiple wikis>they are all terrible and/or abandonned
>>741219198if youre concerned about spoilers why the fuck are you on the wiki, retard?
>>741214319>game has multiple wikis>first result is f*xtra
>>741214319>game has a wikileaks
>>741222175Every wiki I've been to either hides, warns about, or doesn't have spoilers. I already beat the game so I wasn't spoiled.
>game has 1 wiki>its fextra
>>741216995>>741216467ESO fan-fiction. Trying to read anything on characters or concepts is a constant battle of checking sources. You'll be looking at a page for a character in Morrowind and start reading things you don't remember, go check where that was said in-game and then it's ESO nonsense.
>>741214319Game has two wikis....One is fandom.....The other is fextralife.....Kill me now.
>>741214319>H-game wiki on fandom
only casuals need wikis
>>741222191>>741222917whats wrong with it
>>741218065Fextra is truly a piece of shit.>Actively rushes wikis out as soon as possible for shit>Loads every article with ads and hidden livestreams to bloat his numbers as much as possible>Spends tons of money paying Google to bump results up to the top over more legitimate sourcesI dunno how Soulsfags put up with that shit. He tried to snipe the Path of Exile 2 community and I have to manually go to the real wiki every time I wanna search for something cause otherwise I have to go to page 2 or sometimes 3 to find it through Google.And Fextra wiki pages are pure copy/pasted shite, it's fucking wild.
>strategywiki
>fandom>every article has a trivia section>its always full of headcanon, pure speculation, or pointless shit nobody would even care aboutAs far as I'm concerned, if a piece of trivia is noteworthy enough to be mentioned, then it should be incorporated into the article proper. Having a trivia section reeks of laziness, and encourages low quality edits.
>>741217956Fandom for the simple fact that it is genuinely unusable without adblock.
>>741214319>game has a wiki>it's entirely automated with every page being autogenerated using data scraped from the game files>consequently every page is completely useless, just showing [item name], [ingame item description]. [ingame item thumbnail] and the same list of stats shown to you directly in the game
threadly reminder to tack on -fandom -fextralife every time you google something about video games
>>741229174Surprised that Google even still respects -[thing you don't want] because [thing you don't want] is usually a sponsored result that paid to be blasted to the top of the ad section, and above the results that also paid to be at the top of the actual search 'results'
>>741227006The same copypasted fucking boilerplate "this is a weapon. Weapons can be held in one hand or both" on every article. Vastly incorrect information. 5 Million fucking ads, twitch embeds, stupid "build guides" that suck. Broken links. It's a retarded site for drooling morons. Go look at Diablo 4 fextralife right now it's all shit from last season or the one before.
>>741223364ESO is canon
Fandom shit is always #1 in search rankings too, and only then the actual decent wiki
>It's fextralife.Leather belt is a piece of armor in [videogame]. Armor items provide defensive benefits and can be worn by player characters. They can be sold in shops. Armor value: ???

>>741230649nope
>Check the wiki on your phone>The mobile version of the site is an unusable mess of popups and bloat.
>>741230725That's cause fandom games Google hard with optimization. They really are a cancer.
>>741214525>ask LLM to write the article>it's all bullshit, but it's believableSounds like a good idea.
>>741233121I wonder who owns it
>>741214319What about wiki.gg?
>series has three wikis >One is fanfiction and text copied verbatim from the source material >one is dated 4chan memes >one is actually good
>>741231294>phone's temp rises by 10 degrees when fandom page is open
>>741231294Don't you niggas use ad-blockers?
>>741214319>fandom is clearly written by retarded kids writing fanfic
>>741230725it took a while to make poewiki.net the first result in jewgle search
I want to make a wiki for my mod project. What would you guys recommend using? Currently I have some google sheets set up for basic info on items/enemies/etc. but it's pretty ghetto.
>>741234287Now if only we could do the same with PoE2.
Installing the Clean Fandom extension alleviates a lot of the formatting and ad issues but it's still a stain on the internet.>>741230436Actually, they removed it from Youtube.
>>741234725That would take some effort, I would not be surprised if those faggots manipulate the algorithm with AI prompts.Gemini will tell you what to do to improve the ranking, that's not even a joke.
>>741234582just make a discord for it then have a link to the discord on the game's main menu, gamers love that
>>741214319>search [game] wiki>click first result>it's actually just [game] page on [franchise] wiki
>>741235920>search [game] wiki>click first and only relevant result>its the wikipedia page for the game
>>741217956>use phone to browse sometimes>fextralife sucks bad, but it otherwise useable>fandom has literally 2/3rd’s of the screen at all time consumed by ads
>>741217956fandom but theyre both terrible
will wiki dot gg save us
>>741237248If they don't get bought up like the old ones did then sure.
>>741234287>>741234725>>741235268How are we enjoying Runes of Aldur, fellow Exileheads?
>best game have the best wiki
what about miraheze
>>741214319>game has 1 wiki>it's all reddit jokes and quips>read article about something>so uhm, well THAT just happened Fuck the transformers wiki.
>Game is its own wikiDo more of this please
>>741237717'Spretty gud tbqh.
>>741214937>>741223364it's become even worse than thatthe Daggerfall page for Boethiah refers to her as a he even though the game only ever refers to her as femaleand if ESO nonsense wasn't enough, creation club content is inserted everywhere too
>>741240279>creation club content is inserted everywhere tooI hate this
change url from fandom to antifandomhave fun
