I’m hoping fallout does as well. Ever since the two fallout wiki merged, I feel like the experience of looking for info on the wiki has been hobbled by fandom.
Is poewiki just the MediaWiki software (IIRC, the name of the software that runs the official Wikipedia) hosted on their own server?
For official wikis it can be feasible, for user-made ones it would surely be more difficult than just using Wikia / fandom / etc…
And yeah, it is more difficult than just using wikia/fandom/etc, but it also provides such a better experience. Not all game communities will go to that length, but PoE players are a different breed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Path of Exile did the same thing, going from fandom to https://poewiki.net. And thank god they did, fuck fandom

Yup, it is.

Satisfactory recently left fandom as well.
