please, fandom is one of the worst sites on the internet
When the old school RuneScape wiki moved to a self hosted solution it was night and day the quality difference. I’d argue that OSRS (and probably regular RS) have some of the best wikis in gaming.
https://osrs.wiki
From what I've heard, the RS3 wiki was even better, but for sure both are fantastic. Prime examples of how wikis should work. They're even fully integrated into the game.
Yeah, the RS3 wiki is genuinely fantastic. Daily updates, calculators for virtually every activity, and you can search it directly from the game’s chat box.
Fr. Recently the Satisfactory wiki moved off of fandom and it is already so much better. More wikis need to drop fandom.
But somehow fextralife is even worse.
I installed Firefox with uBlock Origin on Android primarily because fandom hosts the Forgotten Realms wiki and it's intolerable.
The four horsemen of the video game Google search apocalypse are Fandom, IGN, Polygon, and GameRant
It used to be so decent, but man, it turned to crap. I hardly recognize what it once was.
@Kovu @simple
I've literally installed an extension to block out fandom results while searching and redirecting to self-hosted fanwikis instead. I hate that ad filled website.
