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.

    with how needful WF is of wiki use I’d love to see one hosted by DE itself and while Im wishing an in game way to access it as I think EVE online provides iirc. Because while I have the luxury of a multi monitor set up and so run wiki on one WF on another when Im chasing something particular, I know not everyone especially console tenno have that luxury.

    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.
