I hate the ad riddled Fextralife wiki and the Fandom site isn’t much better. I found an ad free wiki and have been looking up spells and other stuff on this site. Wanted to share it with other people who may want to get away from the intrusive ads of the other sites.

And some infor from the bottom of the site.

    This is the only wiki I’ve used since release. I totally agree about Fextralife and Fandom. Thanks for highlighting it!

    Ads are the enemy. 🫠

      While I don’t agree completely (servers cost money), the way so many wikis use ads is absolutely horrible. If you have so many ads it makes your website hard to use, we have a problem.

      That said, I try to contribute to any sort of ad free resource I use on any sort of regular basis. I like when people are not trying to see me anything besides what I asked for, and I see it kind of like buying use of their product.

    Use firefox with Ublock Origin. Enjoy your ad free internet.

    Advertising shits in your head. Don’t let it.

          Man, I’ve been wanting to set up a Pi-hole for years. Just finally set up my VPN on my router.

            I have a Synology Nas Drive and set up a Pi-Hole on there, but it doesn’t block everything but helps.

              I just bought a DS1522+, I’ll have to take a look. You running it in a container?

                I believe there is a very simple Docker version for Pi-hole, but I used Portainer to set up the Pi-hole with its own IP.

    Does it have comment sections? I hate Fextralife but have found relevant stuff among the comments there many times, whether tips, bug details or clarifications.

    The articles themselves are lacking and I despise their embedded Twitch stream view-boosting nonsense, though.

      The fact you’re finding relevant information in the comments section of a wiki should tell you something about the quality of said wiki. If it were a healthy place, then those comments would instead be edits to the wiki instead.

        I get what you’re saying, but I think comment sections add value in general. There are discussions that aren’t necessarily worthy of being edits into the wiki but can be helpful or interesting anyway.

        But maybe I just enjoy reading discourse about things. I mean, that’s why I’m on here in the first place.

          Exactly true. One of the best Wikis around is the Warframe wiki, but the comments still provide relevant information at times

        I was just thinking that. That’s the POINT of a wiki. Ha!

    it’s the only wiki with accurate information. Still, I am waiting for neoseeker guides/builds. I like their work on Pathfinder & Solasta

    Cool, thanks. Who is paying the bills there if no ads are used?

      From what I read, the owner is paying for it. So far it is very cheap. He said he’ll ask for donations to help pay for the site.

    I’ve been intentionally interqct8ng with the ng3 wiki to push the fextralife one down.

    Particularly because the fextralife one is just reposting from bg3 wiki.

      Are you editing the wiki? I made an account and was going to help edit, but I’ve never done anything like that before. I was going to look into it so I could contribute.

    I’ve been intentionally interacting with the ng3 wiki on searches to push the fextralife one down.
