What video games have high quality fan-made wiki pages? (leminal.space)

I have been playing a lot of Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral and memorizing what each character likes can be a bit daunting at times so I use it a lot. It also helps when you are trying to figure out certain character's schedule and where specific items are found.

Lots of pages also go the extra mile and include a trivia section and a list of bugs.

It makes me wonder which other fan-made wiki's are of impressive quality or even just which other wiki's people have used.

I imagine Stardew Valley and Pokemon have some really good ones.

Path of Exile has an excellent wiki, especially considering the game's complexity: poewiki.net

Down with fandom, always add "poe wiki" to your informational searches!

[–] simple@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Terraria's wiki might be the most detailed wiki I've ever seen. It has everything about the game, from in-depth guides to small details on each enemy like their AI type to trivia and history of everything related to the game. It really is amazing.

Oh, and you can choose the theme of the wiki in the top to be one of many biomes from the game. Great stuff.

OSRS has hands down the best wiki of any game I have ever encountered

[–] swunchy@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

The wealth of information on the wiki actually improves the game so much. Especially since they moved off of the shitty fandom site

What does OSRS stand for?

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Old School RuneScape, the version thats built on an older version of the game.

There's also RS3, the more modern version that includes micro transactions.

[–] minibyte@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You’d be better off ignoring the existence of RS3 altogether.

[–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Why is that?

[–] Piwix@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Its like the problem cousin. Biggest criticisms are the pay to win nature, inconsistent art style, and UI bloat. OSRS is basically the second chance to make things right and largely achieved this in every way (no p2w, simple at its core complex in its capabilities, community polling for new content). Everything that RS3 did wrong was a learning experience for Jagex. Not to say RS3 can't be fun for people
