New Official Terraria Wiki Launches Today!

[Mille Marteaux]

its really funny how this happened today when just yesterday i was looking for the terraria wiki and saw two different websites both labeled "official terraria wiki"... so i didnt click either

this certainly streamlines things.

The founders of Freedom Games, Ben Robinson and Donovan Duncan, were never President at Fandom, Donovan was the President at Curse (owners of Gamepedia). Jimmy Wales is the president of Fandom.

This is not correct. Donovan's LinkedIn (and also previous versions of Fandom's website) describe him as President of Fandom. https://www.linkedin.com/in/donovanduncan

To just close this entire chain of thinking down... in the event that somehow history were to repeat itself, we (Re-Logic) have taken safeguards to avoid any repeat performances.

Rest assured that we know and fully vetted everything and have a lot of confidence in the plan and the team or we would not have ever done this.

THAT LOOKS SO GOOD

Thanks for this! Wikia/Fandom buying out Gamepedia was terrible for the quality of game wikis.

We just added a link to the new wiki on the front page menu of the PC version.

Console/Mobile links will be updated as soon as it is feasible.

Love the site, but anyone else missing the search function on their phone's browser? I have to switch to landscape mode in order to access it.

Thanks
Dan

I'm having trouble trying to log in. I tried "reclaiming my Fandom account and it didn't work. Also when I'm trying to create an account (Blazerun19, my Fandom account), it says it was already used. Weird.

Anyway, the wiki sure looks better than Fandom's horrendous FandomDesktop.

Thank you. I've more or less stopped using the wiki, on many games, simply because I find fandom's layout and navigation to be abysmal. This is much appreciated.

I should recommend this to my other favorite wikis, such as SNN, The Binding of Isaac Rebirth wiki and Minecraft Wiki (even if they won't be official).

Check with @ReedemtheD3ad! on this - he has an account merge thing going.

In case it's not already on the todo list, I'd like to request that Extension:Thanks be installed and enabled. It provides a great and simple way of saying, well, "thank you" for an edit. (It requires Extension:Echo, though, and that doesn't appear to be installed either.)

 

[ExoRosalina]

Looks amazing!

 

[sirlance3000]

Im just happy to see you leaving fandom. I don't like fandom.

Hopefully people on the subreddit will feel more inclined to look stuff up on the wiki instead of going to reddit now

 

[Bambino]

What was wrong with the old wiki? Perhaps admin drama. We need an official Discord & Reddit so these fickle power hungry volunteer admins can take a seat. They use vague rules to enforce how they feel at the moment. Not to mention the cringe politics they inject.

That's a bit of it, but they also don't rescale anything while loading the site with a ton of ads so the layout gets really junky. A lot of navigation on many of their sites tend to be more link jumping instead of a clean cut list. Terraria was one of the few they haven't messed with yet, but the fallout wiki would be a good example. It was clean cut like the Terraria one is, and then they moved things around to make it an annoyance to navigate, possibly so you have to jump through more pages, so they can get more ad revenue (purely speculation).

 

[tobygradiation]

finally no more massive ads that takes up half my screen while trynna remember how to plant trees

 

[Demogarose]

never knew Fandom had a problem with ads, but then I use an adblocker like a reasonable citizen of the internet
