Fandom vs Huijiwiki

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.

Huijiwiki is a hosted wiki farm where users can apply to create topic-focused wikis. It is built on MediaWiki and combines Semantic MediaWiki with a Bootstrap-based interface; its server side uses Huijiwiki’s DragonPit architecture. The platform supports semantic solutions and MongoDB-based structured data, while wiki operators can add their own styles and scripts. Content and functions support responsive reading and editing on mobile devices. Huijiwiki can migrate data from Wikia, Gamepedia and other MediaWiki-based sites. It supports the MediaWiki API and adds interfaces of its own. On sites using its WeChat public platform integration, users can send a term and receive lookup results. The maker lists security measures including SSL, encrypted storage of privacy information and data-center access controls. Registration and applications to create a hosted wiki are free, but approval is not guaranteed. The service does not offer private deployment or access-permission features, and the maker advises against using it for personal notes.
