Tony BarkJimmy Wales Says Wikipedia Could Use AI. Editors Call It the 'Antithesis of Wikipedia'
Chloé 🥕jimmy wales is also the president and co-founder of fandom
to give you an idea of who that guy is
interdimensionalmemeOh yeah that website’s pretty great It has really in depth wiki about games like fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Caesar's_Legion
So I guess you mean that Wales guy is pretty great then
Caesar's Legion
Caesar's Legion (Latin: Legio Caesaris),[1] also referred to simply as the Legion, is an imperialistic slaver society and totalitarian dictatorship founded in 2247 by Edward "Caesar" Sallow and Joshua Graham, built on the conquest and enslavement of tribal societies in the Mojave Wasteland and American southwest. To enforce unity in the absence of any civilian institutions, the Legion loosely models itself after the military of the Roman Empire, repurposing its language and aesthetics for...
JohnEdwaOh, you mean the fallout.wiki/wiki/Caesar's_Legion ?
RoseYup, Fallout Wiki has a pretty crazy history. I don’t remember if they were originally a Fandom wiki, but at some point they definitely went “well, we don’t want to go with Fandom, we’ll go with Curse wiki host instead.” Then Fandom bought Curse wikis and put all of them under Fandom banner anyway.
The independent Fallout Wiki is basically where the actual community is right now, the Fandom wiki is just there to confuse passers-by with their high search engine rank. Fandom has the policy that the community can fork a wiki and go elsewhere, but they will not close down the Fandom wiki, so good luck with your search rankings.
Many game communities have opted for the “unbridled vandalism” strategy to push people away from fandom. Just replace all the articles with plausible lies.
The “fandom” one is much more complete ?
I mean, they’re both pretty great,
From the search engine if I wanted to know about in-game faction,
I’d just pick which ever appeared first.
and it’d be fine either way
So why would “Chloé 🥕@lemmy.blahaj.zone”
think they can just point at it and imagine any random people would even know
what she “who that guy is” means just because he’s associated with that wiki ?
And that my innocuous comment
would triggers the nerds with such an anonymously negative response ?
The user content on fandom is generally pretty good, at least for the wikis I frequent. It’s everything else about the site which is awful – the pop-ups, the completely irrelevant auto-playing videos, how it’s constantly trying to shove other fandom wikis into your attention.
I’m sure the site is improved with userscripts and such, and I am already using adblock, but it’s pretty unforgivable IMO.
