Title: Do you go to wikis that aren't Wikipedia?
Post by: Samus Aran on November 15, 2009, 08:12:46 AM
Aside from the class wiki for my Technical Writing course, I also very frequently visit Wookieepedia, which is the best Star Wars wiki out there, and UESPWiki, which is "The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages" and I use it for looking up stuff on Oblivion all the time, particularly weapon stats and stuff like that.

Also great is Bulbapedia, when I'm getting back into playing Pogeyman games again, and for a while I frequented a Zelda wiki that I don't remember the name of.

Occasionally I go to the OutsiderWiki to laugh at myself. And then laugh at Linkjge.

I used to use UESPWiki when I played Oblivion. It was incredibly helpful. Other than that, not really.

Yeah, I've used Bulbapedia a couple of times. And The Vault, which is a Fallout wiki.

Bulbapedia is actually on my list of web searches in Opera.
Wiibrew is one I occasionally look at to see if there's any worthwhile homebrew apps or other advances.
I sometimes also use Wiktionary.

How long has the Boyah Wiki been down?
