    Yup, Fallout Wiki has a pretty crazy history. I don't remember if they were originally a Fandom wiki, but at some point they definitely went "well, we don't want to go with Fandom, we'll go with Curse wiki host instead." Then Fandom bought Curse wikis and put all of them under Fandom banner anyway.

    The independent Fallout Wiki is basically where the actual community is right now, the Fandom wiki is just there to confuse passers-by with their high search engine rank. Fandom has the policy that the community can fork a wiki and go elsewhere, but they will not close down the Fandom wiki, so good luck with your search rankings.

    The "fandom" one is much more complete ?
    I mean, they're both pretty great,
    From the search engine if I wanted to know about in-game faction,
    I'd just pick which ever appeared first.
    and it'd be fine either way

    So why would "Chloé 🥕@lemmy.blahaj.zone"
    think they can just point at it and imagine any random people would even know
    what she "who that guy is" means just because he's associated with that wiki ?

    And that my innocuous comment
    would triggers the nerds with such an unanimously negative response ?
