Game has 4 wikis

game has 4 wikis

I ended up figuring out how to remove one or two of those sites from my search results they showed up so often.

*franchise* wiki

*game in the franchise* wiki

fictional-villains-autism-epicenter wiki that happens to have a page on a character for the game you want is higher in search results than the actual game wiki

You can always ignore the fandom and fextralife wikis, and if the game doesn't have wikis other than those, you can assume that the community and the game itself is complete shit.

the info is different on all four websites

A dozen of discord autists' fanon wiki that has completely different factoids from the canon

Hijacked by a Chris Chan equal wiki that filled with tons of articles like "this 48 year old furry girl that's relavant in a 4 minute scene is veeeery sexy".

fighting game has a wiki

its empty

Use Indie Wiki Buddy extension. It hides/lowers fandom results and shows you the good wikis first if they exist.

fextralife

ARE YOU A KID OR ADULT?

[insert game here].wiki.fextralife.com

the wiki approved and supported by the devs gets pushed down by fandom in the results

This piece of shit extension just causes wikis to time out for me, fuck.

2 wikis

One of which is a troll wiki filled with nonsense

Is there not just an extention to block fandom from appearing in results entirely?

fandom

honestly i fucking wish this at least was the case
It could at the very least be entertaining to see, rather than another "WE DO THE SAME SHIT EXCEPT WE'RE FUCKING UNFINISHED" page in a row

nta and I don't remember what I used but mine just asked me to put sites into a blacklist and I included Fandom in it. Then I never saw Fandom on search again.

intentionally use an outdated version of my browser because fuck UI updates

miraheze wiki works fine with it

devs sell out to dot gg and the miraheze wiki is closed

dot gg wiki has broken UI

Fuck you Hakita

I can't tell if this is a baby or a midget.

fandom and its consequences have been a disaster for gaming wiki.
seriously gamefaq feels like shakespeare compared to fandom

game has no wiki

One wiki covers the lore fully but nothing about character information

another wiki about same game has barely snippets of story but full character dialogue

this character is pretty cool

look them up

villains wiki in the results spoils them as a twist villain

Fandom is good but it's fucking Fandom

one is fextralife

unaffiliated wikia is kind of good but has serious gaps and isnt updated regularity

fourth one is fanon

type character name on google search

first suggestion is character name + death

if female it's character name + age

UESP is the goat

You played yourself

They are all incomplete

Yes, uBlacklist.

2 wikis

Fandom and fextralife

fextralife is the most cancerous thing on the planet
all of their wikis that aren't fromsoft games are completely incomplete and often what's there is completely wrong. They literally just wait for a game to be popular and then shit out a half assed wiki for it

Even the fromsoft ones often have wrong info

that one page for an “npc” during the launch of elden ring that was a dude who fucked around and posted his character and just made up shit

game has one fan site

in nip

last post on the forums was made 13 years ago

link to the fix still works

Game has two wikis

Old staff from the Fandom version wanted to move to a new domain, because Fandom is shit

Fandom version still exists because Fandom refuses to allow it to be deleted.

Advertising the new domain directly is also against Fandom policy

Fandom also still tops searches, despite the other one being the more actively maintained and up-to-date one.

Game has 2 wikis

One is dogshit and ALWAYS come up in search results

Other one is godtier, clearly made by devoted fans, but barely ever comes up when searched for

Skyrim Fandom wiki vs UESP if you know, you know.

name the game

i was just being generous bc their souls ones are the least bad
but yeah even those are full of incorrect information

look at the hands. thats the giveaway

only 1 isn't fandom shit

Google doesn't show it in the results

Sasuga Interweb-dono

game series has two wikis

they both suck but one sucks a lot more than the other

wrechtoss.jpg - 2417x2620, 362.87K

wiki just lists shit from the game and doesnt elaborate

game has a proper wiki and a garbage fandom one filled with ads

the fandom one is the first result on google every single time

does google get a piece of the pie from fandom's thousands of garbage ads or something?
I don't get it

SEO is the reason for fandom's entire existence.

Wow, Bill!

Wikirby is the goat. Nice clean layout with all the info I would want.

smaller, obscure game

only has a fandom, of course, whatever

missing critical info, pics etc

start adding onto it

next day

only guy still sitting on the thing rises from his coffin like fucking dracula and reverts all of my changes, locks all of the pages and bans me

this has happened five times

Happens all the time. Web 2.0 can suck my dick.

A completely new wiki just for one game

It's worst then Fandom

use the Fandom wiki

have to use 20 different filters in uBlock to just browse

breaks the site's search bar

Why do you need a wiki? Just play the game.

Fandom or Fexta. Which is worse?

honest question, what's the issue with fextralife? it just works

but why

Fandom is such a corporate shithole that wiki operators and/or devs often migrate to another platform, except the Fandom staff refuses to delete the old wikis on their end

Drag an image from a wiki to my folder to use in a post (only site that has it in hq and also with transparency)

game has 3 wikis

ALL of them are shit and outdated

actual relevant information is in private guild discords

FUCK MMOS

having to use another game's wiki after using the runescape wiki

game has wiki

the specific thing you’re looking for isn’t in it

IMG_0625.gif - 451x366, 3.93M

I thought fandom recently nuked those type of wikis especially since poohs adventures wiki and the supernanny fanon wiki were both nuked recently

Modding, info dumping, etc being moved to discord is one of the worst modern trends. I love having a massive amount of history deleted because some mod had a meltdown or having to search through miles of shitposting and normie memes to find the fucking info.

And nothing of value was lost

reading wikis instead of getting it from the official artbooks

What's so bad about Fandom?

owarida

it's causing the price merchs to be unnecessarily expensive.

this game has 8 wikis

8?

8 bob

Just don't use the Fextralife one, full of incorrect garbage and plebbit lore.

kek.
fuck webp

Fextralife

Hassan Youssef and Sam Youssef.

not gonna support jeet website.

A lot of shit, but the TLDR is that the admins of individual wikis are essentially powerless against the general Fandom staff, who have constantly injected ads and other forms of bloat into the pages

constantly injected ads and other forms of bloat into the pages

Are you retarded zoomies not using ublock, badger and noscript? Do you even internet?

DumbLimit.png - 427x443, 145.09K

For mobilefags it's got almost as many invasive ads as tvtropes, but at least it usually has actual information. I don't know what keeps fextralife going when every fucking page is a useless stub.

Wiki

It has no fucking info on the game or what you are looking for

Holy cursed.

wiki has broken down hidden mechanics and hidden formulas

doesn't explain

The fact that you're recommended to install a bunch of scripts just to make Fandom usable speaks of its quality. A lot of admins stopped putting up with its shit and tried moving to other platforms.

recommended to install a bunch of scripts just to make Fandom

just to make Fandom

Zoomers confirmed a ruined generation. Don't even know how to use the internet. Think you use adblockers for only wikis and not literally everything. Just love spending valuable bandwidth on being sold shit. Goddamn there is no hope. You faggots are the worst.

anon you should already be running ublock at the minimum
zoomies think ad blocking is akin to pirating/theft

Do databases count? Because if so here's another.
sites.google.com/site/pingsdex/

That's not getting into shit like mhf3.com(which is dead) or shit like japanese TA wikis.

zoomies think ad blocking is akin to pirating/theft

I can't believe there are humans alive TODAY that sit through ads on Youtube at a minimum. Imagine wasting your precious time and bandwidth on some KIKE shilling their wares where they aren't wanted. The entire lot of these subhumans without a minimum of adblocker should be STERILIZED.

five bajillion wikis

they all have images pooled from the same 6 or so official pictures from the game

the other official pics you were looking for are on neoseeker, zerochan, gelbooru, or simply don't exist as some concept arts were never released or some promo pics were never released in higher quality

Please I just want to draw the characters I like accurately

2 wikis for Anon Babble

one is r/shit4chansays

the other is Encyclopedia Dramatica

Can't win.

UESP is all you need.

game has a wiki but no walkthroughs

I just need to know how to make the last bridge in the dwarven hole in Succubus Covenant

This isn't really that weird. Kiranico covers the 3DS games and on, specializing in data you'd find in a spreadsheet. MHOldSchool is the same but for MH1/G and 2. With how much information is used as a resource in these games, it's not surprising that some games have dedicated sites.

actual relevant information is in private guild discords

Or YouTube videos
I'll grant that the video linked on the page for dancing plague extreme is better than the article because it's not terrified of feminine pronouns though. You can actually watch it without getting a headache

load up wiki page

ad loads in bottom corner

scroll down, ad loads on top of the screen

close both, ad loads on bottom of screen

click a link to a different page

full-page ad appears

close it, repeat process

all of them are fandom wikis

I'm enough of a moralfag to be against adblocking but I make an exception for Fandom.

Fandom = Anon Babble
new domain = 8

2 wikis

One of them is filled with delusional headcanons and irrelevant political nonsense

enough of a moralfag to be against adblocking

blocking ads is amoral

Goddamn the kikes have really brainwashed the new generation of kids. All hope is lost. NO ONE IS OWED ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD KID. Learn it, live it, own it. You don't owe anyone anything and they shouldn't expect it. You aren't a cow to be MILKED of its value to profit the people in control. Good god. What the actual fuck.

wiki just fucking lies to you

game has it's own in game wiki

Kiranico is based.

Fextralife is the reason so many people think Sekiro's parry window is 30 frames instead of 12. Some idiot edited it in 2 weeks after release and everyone took it as fact.

how the fuck did we, as a society, let Fandom buy EVERY SINGLE FUCKING WIKIA ON THE INTERNET?
What the FUCK?

wiki page for mildly attractive female character stops using an impartial tone; subjective qualities about her appearance and personality are described in entirely positive, flowery, and long winded verbage.

wiki page contains unsubstantiated theory on how long term trauma of a non canonical circumcision played a role in the character's development.

mentally fucked by corpos kikebrained zoomoid

holy shit i thought that was just shitposting
these """""""""people"""""""" are actually real

Fandom is a rebrand of Wikia. They always owned them. Do your research, dumbass.

Hosting costs are difficult in the age of AdBlock so of course a huge megacorp is the only one often capable of hosting wikis for many games that aren't huge enough to stand on their own two feet.

use [game] fandom

main game walkthroughs consist only of a couple of obscure sentences

romance walkthroughs consists of hundreds of highly detailed paragraphs

IMG_4414.jpg - 2291x1290, 155.94K

Look for a walkthrough of an old game

It's an old IGN/Gamespot guide

Gets things blatantly wrong, has no images (but has vague gestures on what to look at) and spoils things

But at least it is better than

Look up walkthrough

Youtube video uses borderline speedrunning techniques that require frame inputs.

look at guide for collectibles in a game

author constantly gets directions wrong

look to your left to find it

it's on the right

it's north of the sign

it's south

game is mostly linear so it's impossible they were just viewing it from a different direction

Kiranico is functionally a database, not a wiki. Like Ping's Dex, it serves solely for number crunching than being an extensive encyclopedia outright.

All you smug-ass fuckwads recommending adblockers… Can you really guarantee that they are safe? Who watches the watchmen?

You're a fucking idiot. Kill yourself.

Google character 'cos I want to see some wallpapers

It autocompletes as [character]'s death

Thanks google

hurrdurr your an idiot imm gonna keep all the knowledge to myself and teh seekerett club xdddd

wtf y no buddy know how to pir8 & adbloc???

You’ve sown your own demise.
