Official Minecraft wiki editors so furious at Fandom's 'degraded' functionality and popups they're overwhelmingly voting to leave the site (www.pcgamer.com)

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

uBlock Origin makes it way better, but still, you shouldn't have to use that in the first place

An ActivityPub wiki would be nice

Don't think it's really necessary. The different wikis don't really need to talk to each other. But an open source Gamepedia-like wiki software would be great. Maybe it exists already.

Wiki.gg is very good though.

Idk if that makes any sense tbh. I guess it could work though. I don't really see the application.

I make it a point to actively avoid Fandom. They're fucking horrible. Luckily for the type of games I'm interested in there's alternatives available (for eg doomwiki, halopedia, UESP)

The only good fandom wiki out there is the Terraria wiki. Change my mind.

[–] phuntis@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

uesp

[–] SnowmenMelt@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

The OldSchool Runescape and RuneScape 3 wikis are hands down the best wikis out there. They abandoned fandom years ago.

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

[–] simple@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Wiki gg does have ads, but they're pretty unobtrusive and are only videogame related.

Since when does bulbapedia have usability issues?

[–] STRIKINGdebate2@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Fandom brings back so many memories. I remember when they used to have active chats. It was like discord before discord was around.

[–] StarServal@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Fandom is unusable garbage.

[–] DrQuint@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I give my full support to this.

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Thank god, fuck that site. I hope they move to wiki.gg

UESP is one of the best parts of Elder Scrolls games; forever may it reign
