The wiki is pretty awful
Is there a better place to get information on the game?

A matter of opinion, and no :D

Not really. The article entries are inconsistent, they're poorly written, poorly researched and a lot of it seems to be opinion based.

My opinion of your opinion of the community's opinion is, it's a wiki. If you think something is wrong, suggest an update ?

I know how wiki's work. If I ain;t 'one of the boys' nobody will pay attention, so what's the point?

All i'm really after is a 'bestiary' of sorts, with stats and weaknesses of monsters. They have it for some enemies, but not for others.

I never had a problem with the wiki, not once. You will get all the information you need and that's a simple fact, not an opinion.

Yeah, that's unfortunately missing. Otherwise the wiki is great. It's not professional but no one should expect it to be and unless you contribute, you can hardly criticize it.

I'm just comparing it to similar wiki's. I don't intend to contribute as I don;t have that kind of free time.

They don;t exactly seem to be lacking for contributors, there's a lot of healthy discussion on their articles. It just needs tidying up and standardising, with the plugging of a few holes of information i.e. the aforementioned enemy data.

If you're looking for weaknesses on enemies and monsters, pawns pretty much shout and cast that kinda stuff as you're fighting them.

There does seem to be a lot that is missing from the wiki. But that being said, it is still pretty much the best source. I've done many searches looking for information but cant find the answers I'm looking for anywhere else

The game doesn't do a good job of explaining itself. And some of it's own explanations are outright wrong, probably due to translation errors and hasty copy/paste errors.

I think the wiki has done fine considering how muddled the game is at times.

For a game that was exclusive to consoles up until recently the Wiki is actually a hell of a lot better than average.

Console games rarely have such detailed wikis, unless the game belongs to a 'mega' franchise.
