What video games have high quality fan-made wiki pages? (leminal.space)

I have been playing a lot of Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral and memorizing what each character likes can be a bit daunting at times so I use it a lot. It also helps when you are trying to figure out certain character's schedule and where specific items are found.

Lots of pages also go the extra mile and include a trivia section and a list of bugs.

It makes me wonder which other fan-made wiki's are of impressive quality or even just which other wiki's people have used.

I imagine Stardew Valley and Pokemon have some really good ones.

OSRS has hands down the best wiki of any game I have ever encountered

[–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What does OSRS stand for?

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Old School RuneScape, the version thats built on an older version of the game.

There's also RS3, the more modern version that includes micro transactions.

You’d be better off ignoring the existence of RS3 altogether.

Why is that?

[–] Piwix@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Its like the problem cousin. Biggest criticisms are the pay to win nature, inconsistent art style, and UI bloat. OSRS is basically the second chance to make things right and largely achieved this in every way (no p2w, simple at its core complex in its capabilities, community polling for new content). Everything that RS3 did wrong was a learning experience for Jagex. Not to say RS3 can't be fun for people

i like this but i dont feel like grinding everything again

The wealth of information on the wiki actually improves the game so much. Especially since they moved off of the shitty fandom site
