(Redirected from Wikipedia)
Wikipedia is a free, online, encyclopedia that anyone can edit. This very site you're using, the Wikia Gaming? It runs off of the free engine that Wikipedia distributes. That's why you and I can edit this stuff and add our information. We're like an offshoot of Wikipedia. Anyway, Wikipedia is a huge source of information on the internet that is available in many languages.
[edit] Why Use Wikia Gaming over Wikipedia?
A common criticism of Wikia Gaming is that people might as well use Wikipedia. While true, there are benefits to WG and differences between the two.
- WG is game focused. When you type Frog into Wikipedia, you will not get the Chrono Trigger character right away. When you type Rupee you will not get the Zelda currency.
- While WG may not be very useful, at the moment, for looking up game information, it is a great place to go if you want to write about your favorite games.
- WG is that fun-loving smart guy that you used to know. You won't find things like Three Yard Elf on Wikipedia. They don't dig those offbeat shenanigans. Wikipedia is the really smart guy you used to know, but he's strict and wears a bow tie.
- WG tends to have a more casual writing style. While there are excellently written pieces here, there are also a lot of aloof, easier-to-read articles. They're fun, warm, and can be just as informative.
