Whats the alternative?

Aside from self-hosting your own wiki, https://wiki.gg/ seems to be the popular option. Terraria's official wiki is now https://terraria.wiki.gg/ and it's great.

The main WoW wiki has moved to wiki.gg too :)

I’ve also used miraheze (https://miraheze.org)

Independent wikis for those media franchises that have them.

Does this mean self-hosting the wiki?
Because that increase the barrier of entry by tenfold as a lot of publishers/game studios do not host their own wikis.

Or use a wiki host that's not affiliated with Fandom.

But they did buy out Gamepedia too...

for Minecraft, minecraft.wiki

for others i don't know, some will have alternatives and others won't...

It really just depends on the fandom. Three more I know of are Bulbapedia for Pokemon, The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages for the Elder Scrolls, and Wookiepedia for Star Wars. They are all very comprehensive and functional.

Edit: Forgot about the Super Mario Wiki too.

Unless the game your playing made their own, or someone else decided to self host and actually fill it with content (and finding it can be a pain), there isn't one.

Hoping someone knows a good fallout wiki, I hate using fandom, but it's the only one I can find with good info.
