The Hollow Knight wiki community is another in a long line of wiki communities choosing to leave Fandom behind. But why is that? What is it about Fandom that...

      Aside from self-hosting your own wiki, https://wiki.gg/ seems to be the popular option. Terraria’s official wiki is now https://terraria.wiki.gg/ and it’s great.

        The main WoW wiki has moved to wiki.gg too :)

      Independent wikis for those media franchises that have them.

        Does this mean self-hosting the wiki?
        Because that increase the barrier of entry by tenfold as a lot of publishers/game studios do not host their own wikis.

          Or use a wiki host that’s not affiliated with Fandom.

          But they did buy out Gamepedia too…

      Unless the game your playing made their own, or someone else decided to self host and actually fill it with content (and finding it can be a pain), there isn’t one.

      Hoping someone knows a good fallout wiki, I hate using fandom, but it’s the only one I can find with good info.
