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.
Yeah I was recently part of the migration for the Star Trek Online wiki (going from sto.fandom.com -> stowiki.net).
We were lucky and had all of the active administrators come along with us, but there’s still a handful of people editing the old wiki (not really a huge issue, tbh) but for us, the biggest issue is a SEO one - FANDOM’s SEO machine is far, far, far better than any independent wiki can be.
Will also throw in and say I wouldn’t expect host costs to be an issue: For our wiki the costs are about $50 a month, and via community donations we make $141 a month. Warframe is a significantly bigger game, so I don’t think the host costs would be a problem.
I think the most annoying part of the migration was cleaning out all of FANDOM’s proprietary gunk from our templates and such, though I don’t think the Warframe wiki uses a ton of that stuff (e.g we used the FANDOM extension TippingOver for item tooltips, while the WF wiki uses a custom Lua script it’d seem).
