Fandom sucks, so we forked the wiki

Fandom has been getting increasingly annoying with advertisements, pop-ups, and general enshittification. My friend that I play GD with has a shitty laptop, and every time he opened the fandom, it broke his computer. Also, the current mods on the fandom have been inactive for over a year. So, me and a couple editors have forked the wiki’s content and have it hosted it a new address. The new host has no ads, and loads much faster.

You can find the new wiki here: https://grimdawn.miraheze.org/wiki/Grim_Dawn_Wiki

We are looking for more editors to help contribute - especially with adding expansion content. If you are interest please don’t hesitate to edit pages. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me here. I am also in the Grim Dawn discord with the name adrian.

Thanks!

Getting annoyed at ads can be a great motivator!

Is there a template for entering skills? All the Berserker skills are missing, but I’m not enough of a wizard to edit anything more complicated than a text file. Cut-n-paste into a template, however, I absolutely have the skills for that.

Yes, there is! You can find it here: Template:Infobox Skill - Grim Dawn Wiki

Good call staying away from fandom. :+1:
I’ll make sure to make my edits on the new wiki.

All Berserker skills now have pages, most with video clips and a new presentation style. I completely rewrote the skill tree system as well with responsive sizing (Berserker, Soldier, Arcanist, Demolitionist are done so far), and it may actually work on mobile.

On the wiki, I’ve been trying to focus on presentation (The wiki has to look good for people to want to contribute), and ease of use (pages need to be editable without a degree in wiki spaghetti).
