Fandom vs Fextralife Wikis

Fandom is a free platform for creating and exploring public fan wikis about games, entertainment, and culture. Communities document stories, characters, lore, and other topics, and any logged-in user with a confirmed email can create a wiki through the creation form. Hosting costs nothing plan and has no limit to wiki size, with role permissions, revision history, media uploads, and API access. UCP wikis support mobile editing through a visual editor or source mode. Discussions, article comments, message walls, and blogs provide community features that administrators can switch in some cases. Extensions including DPL, Loops, Variables, Gadgets, and Arrays are available on request; SMW cannot be enabled because of performance concerns. UCP lacks live chat and wiki-style polls, although Discussions includes polls. Wikis remain publicly viewable. Fandom says its communities span 80 languages across 200 countries and serve 350 million people worldwide.

Fextralife Wikis is a free web platform combining game-specific wikis, gaming news, exclusive content, and forums. Its collection includes over 150 wikis, and users can edit without an account through an editor with features tailored to each game. Pages can organize information into General, Character, Equipment, World, Guides, and Tools sections. A Dark Souls 3 wiki covers weapons, armor, skills, magic, lore, maps, walkthroughs, builds, and calculators. Interactive maps can track items, NPCs, bosses, quests, armor, and weapons. Wiki pages also link to forums, player IDs, media, and community builds, and media uploads are supported. The site says contributions use a Custom License. Wiki VIP removes ads, according to the Dark Souls 3 page. Fextralife was founded in 2012 and acquired by Valnet Inc. in December 2024. Valnet links to Facebook, X, TikTok, Twitch, and YouTube. Wiki pages provide Help and Contact links, while the audience description is “For Gamers By Gamers.”
