Best Wiki?

[Magniff]

Hey,
what are you guys thinking, which is the best wiki for TLD.

Googles top search result is the "gamepedia" wiki while the "wikia" wiki appears to be more complete.

Are you using a wiki at all and if so, which wiki do you prefer?

Regards
Magniff

Just a reminder. :)

Out of curiosity: How often does the community turn to the unofficial wikis instead doing a search on Steam or our official forums? Would be interesting to know.

I use the wiki but they are incomplete... i started to use the forums when i dont find what you do with the rose hips... seriously, that was a time ago

I do not use any wikis but do search hinterland forum and was using reddit until Chairman Pao messed it up. Steam has the most info and best community for TLD, and I enjoy many of the posters here, even the trolls. :^)

Good information to have regarding the wikis. Just so it's clear to everyone: We do not participate in editing or maintaining these wikis, so we can't guarantee the information contained within them is accurate or current. If you're looking for solid information or answers, the best place to go for now is here or the official Hinterland forums.

Are you planning make a official wiki ?

There is already an official wiki but it hasn't much information as the official forums. I'd recommend using the forums or steam. I think when the games reaches 1.0 the wiki will be more usefull. But for now it hasn't much content.

Again, this receives no contributions from anyone associated with the studio. Therefore, it is not technically considered "official". We have made contributions to the standard wikipedia.org page associated with the game, but there is no truly official wiki dedicated to The Long Dark. I do not know our plans as far as creating one as it would constitute a fair amount of work to build and maintain.

It is absolutely wonderful to see the community taking time to create and contribute to things like this. Just want to offer clarification when possible if something is referred to as "official" :)

It's strange that the Gamepedia wiki labels itself as "Official" in the pagetitle (i.e. Official The Long Dark Wiki) yet in its about[thelongdark.gamepedia.com] and disclaimer pages it says it "...has no affiliation with Hinterland Studio Inc.." Now Hinterland states there's no official wiki.

It's a bit misleading to readers when the wiki says that they're official when they're not. Is that a concern for you?

Afaik, that's something "Curse" (the hoster of gamepedia) is doing with all their wikis.
Well, they also tend to have rather bad reputation.

The standard Wikipedia is a real life encyclopedia and not really for games unless you want something like a backstory there of course. It's more like an overall information about something, which must contain real data. So I doubt you can use it for this game. What OP meant is most likely a custom wiki site with full of informations just about this game.

Yes, I understood. :) Just letting you guys know the basic wikipedia page was the only one we have contributed to ourselves.

Having things labeled as "official" when they are not is obviously something we like to try to avoid, but I don't actually see the word "official" on the main page, unless I'm missing it: http://thelongdark.gamepedia.com/The_Long_Dark_Wiki

Additionally, on the main front page for this wiki, it actually states that this is written and maintained by the players, which is exactly what it should say.
