In their own words
Fextralife Wikis
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.”
World Anvil
World Anvil is a browser-based set of tools for creating, organizing and storing settings for games, novels and comics. Its wiki supports linked articles, categories, tags and search across a world. Interactive maps connect locations to articles, while timelines track events across eras or parallel histories. Campaign tools provide a digital GM screen, statblocks, NPC creation, character sheets and session reports connected with campaign notes. Online novel-writing software works with the wiki, allowing setting details to be referenced and edited while drafting. Listed integrations include Discord, Google Analytics and Patreon links. Private material is visible only to the user and authorized collaborators, and autosaved work is backed up across multiple servers and in the cloud. World Anvil requires an internet connection; mobile use is through an optimized browser, with no mobile app. The Freeman plan allows two worlds, 42 articles and 100 MB storage.
