I genuinely forget what all these websites look like without adblock on.

The fall of Fandom is one of the most satisfying stories from a consumers perspective.

Hi, wiki editor (LoR/Path) here, the old wiki had maaaany issues, the ads where just the most obvius ones, if someone wants to quickly replace old wiki (that will not be updating, at least, no one on the Lor side plans to, nor on the League side, and we stoped updating in the middle of a patch so there is a mess there) i recommend indie wiki buddie

Yes riot is not a small indie company (nor does... great things... like what they did a few days ago) but the extension works for league wiki too


Edit: also yes, the editors from weird gloop did an amazing job, really apreciative of them, both generically and personally (they allowed me to merge accounts and do a lot of stuff that apparently is... not easy for them to do)

That "Blizzard uses their fan wiki to check lore" story reminds me of the Ben 10 franchise.

There were multiple instances of fans editing the wiki pages to add in random info without a source, and as the shows' writers left and new ones joined, they would check the wiki for lore. For example, one user edited a character's page to include a middle name that was never mentioned anywhere (in or outside the shows), and years later, that exact middle name was used in an episode making it canon.

There are a lot of similar examples. I'm pretty sure the wiki itself now has a page listing all the user edits that have become canon one way or another.

Been using adblockers for 12 years now, looking the wiki page you showed with that many ads, wich I never experienced personaly, made me realise how vitals and important adblockers are for modern web browsing, I'm in shock

my goat has been compromised by RAID SHADOW LEGENDS

I do have to say, the way a YouTube ad broke in 3:18, just when Necrit was trying to make a point, was accidental art.

[seekyunbounded]

Apparently the "Wiki" part comes from wikiwiki with is Hawaiian word meaning quick.
software developer Ward Cunningham in 1995 made WikiWikiWeb, the idea was to create rapid evolving and collaborative editing so the other wikis can use the Wiki part because its in the spirit of the original concept.

[Khal-Riv]

Riot please pay Necrit so we dont have to watch Ads. This guy deserves it.

[francoisvT]

Just a little education here, the reason most wiki sites look alike is because they are in fact build on top or is just a straight instance of an open source software called MediaWiki, the exact same engine that wikipedia uses which is why the look is almost identical because it is the same with slight alterations to the theme and some customisation in some cases due to yet again the base being a free open source software. So they are in fact in a lot of these instance the same, just hosted by different people. For a little fun exercise here if you as a private individual wanted to have your own copy of wikipedia all you need is to set up an instance of media wiki and get the wikipedia database export, which last time I checked is readily available but be warned it is rather large and when tou include media the size sky rockets. Or for that matter if you ever wanted to create your own wiki you can do this and set it up from scratch and add your own content or if you did not have the know how probably use a service which is probably why most of these are riddled with ads because hosting ain't free and someone is paying for that so ads is one way to keep it free for consumers while covering your base costs / make some revenue.

Praise riot but do not forget to praise the wiki team! Their company, Weird Gloop responsible for the minecraft & oldschool runescape wiki which is one of the best video game wiki's around. i was so hyped when i heard Weird Gloop was involved with the LoL wiki as they're also paid by Jagex (dev behind runescape) to maintain their wiki.

wouldn't leave this task in anyone else's hands!

[durandmefew]

Riot recruiting lorekeepers would be such a power move

A suspicious W video by Necrit just dropped.

[Bendzsike]

For all the people who are sick of fandom, get the wiki buddy (or smth similar name) extension for your browser. It will hide the fandom wiki if the game you are searching for has another wiki

[Karin_]

My excitement about an official League wiki has been validated

[dmian]

Imagine sitting there, listening to how league removed ads from their wiki, then you hear "well not today " and then you're like "man what did rito do this time to f this up?" And then you get big brain blindside blasted by a raid shadow legends ad xD thanks necrit for the confusion, but get that bag.

[TheHobbinatics]

I remember doing this trick where i put [insert champion ability] + patch notes just to possibly find the HD icon and sometimes it doesnt exist.

[iamthepinkie]

Riot will do anything not to include this information into the actual client.
Understandable and respectable.

[KekPafrany]

Honestly, I have been using adblocks so long ago, that I never noticed that fandoms have any ads. But I will start using the ad-free version because less ads are better for the internet.

Btw the same fight happening with Minecraft wiki and Minecraft fandoms wiki.
