Good! Hopefully more devs follow suit and pull traffic away from Fandom.

Also hopeful that they manage to fix the SEO on the site, as Fandom is still the top result for “Vampire Survivors wiki”.

Same with the Terraria wiki. Afaik the fandom wiki is mostly abandoned and people moved to the much better gg wiki.

The Oxygen Not Included wiki made the jump a few years ago and the gg wiki seems to finally be better referenced

Why make a Wiki when a shitty Discord server with a clunky search function is easier to set up? Of course it‘s also much less useful, more work to maintain in the long run and a never ending source of drama, but most devs don‘t think that far because they kinda only do it to build a community anyway. Being a source of information is just slapped on but enough reason for them to not set up a wiki or proper forum it seems. Ugh.

Try the browser add-on Indie Wiki Buddy.

It suggests a better wiki when you browse one on Fandom.

edit: there is an open issue to add the official Vampire Survivors wiki: https://github.com/KevinPayravi/indie-wiki-buddy/issues/1102

Just to add on to this, in those unfortunate cases where there really is only Fandom, you can use an extension like LibRedirect which will redirect any Fandom pages to a breezewiki instance, which is a stripped down, privacy respecting, no BS front end for Fandom.

I assume Google prioritizes the wikis that bring in the ad dollars. Not sure if any amount of SEO can change that.

Well, GGG hosts their community wikis since years too…
