Huijiwiki vs Obsidian Portal

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.

Obsidian Portal is a web-based campaign management site for tabletop role-playing groups. Its campaign wiki lets players organize game material in a shared campaign website, with a calendar, adventure log and character tracker to support campaign management. The service says it works with any game system and setting. The free Basic plan costs nothing and includes two campaigns, 2 MB per campaign and one map. Ascendant costs $5.99 a month and includes unlimited campaigns, 10 GB per Ascendant GM and 10 maps, as well as custom styling, player secrets, email notifications, selectable JavaScript capabilities, a dice roller and a campaign forum. Ascendant also offers public, friends-only or private campaigns. The service provides an API for developers creating tabletop tools or enhancing gaming experiences. Its privacy policy says member email addresses are not shared with third parties and users can choose public, limited or private access for their information. Support is available through a knowledge base, community forums and email, with a stated aim to follow up within 24 hours.
