Now that this community has it’s own instance, is it feasible to move the wiki too like Path of exile community? Nothing wrong with current wiki of course, I just don’t like Fandom in general.

EDIT: All valid points you guys are bringing, glad to see the community here is active. Hopefully DE offer to host the wiki too somtime.

    As others have mentioned, the Wiki and the Reddit teams are different people, so what happens in one place doesn’t have much bearing in the other.

    And yeah, we’re trying out wiki.gg with the Soulframe wiki right now. A bit hard when the game isn’t even released yet though. You can read more on it here.

    Moving the Warframe Wiki to wiki.gg wouldn’t be crazy difficult, but there are issues that give us pause. We know Fandom isn’t everyone’s favorite though. And while it’d be nice if DE hosted the Wiki for us, it’s unlikely to happen afaik.

    That said, unbeknownst to us, DE decided to reach out to Fandom and enter the Wiki into their community partnership program, which essentially just tells everyone that the Warframe Fandom Wiki is the official wiki recognized by DE. We even get a little verified badge at the top. To quote:

    • “Official Wikis are verified as the preferred player-reference destination by the publisher and are promoted to the player community as such. Fandom occasionally receives unique opportunities from our official wiki partners (DE), such as the Prime Access Codes provided here. Official Wiki partners may also offer assets and access around game updates/releases that can then be passed through to wiki admins and editors (this already happens).”

    I’m honestly not sure, but I don’t think this should make it any harder to move. Even so, the Wiki won’t be migrating anytime soon, sorry.

      Satisfactory just moved from fandom to wiki.gg, with the devs’ blessing, so I don’t think the “official wiki” thing would be an issue (as long as DE is on board). The main issue now for them seems to be SEO, and that would be the main issue for the WF wiki too.

      Woah, nice of you to directly replied here. I thank you and the crew for the amazing wiki (if I’m not wrong that you’re one of the wiki peps). I’m not up-to-date with what happened behind the scene so you and other people clarifying it is very nice to see. Keep up the good work!
