2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

Best thing that happened to path of exile too, the devs provide the wiki platform for the community
https://www.poewiki.net/
Very based
Same thing happened with minecraft.wiki too, people finally got fed up with fandom's bullshit
That's not the same, Mojang isn't affiliated with the wiki at all.
Same with doomwiki.org and a bunch of others.
osrs.wiki lets just list them all
I'm surprised the OSRS wiki isn't mentioned more. The game itself is very community oriented as well.
OSRS wiki is BY FAR the best wiki in the entire industry.
The Guild Wars 2 (and 1) wiki is also hosted directly by the devs. It's even accessible via chat command.
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/
The fact that in GW2 you can just type
/wiki subjectand get taken to the wiki page for subject is such an amazing and obvious command I'm surprised more games don't do it.
Not only that but GW2 also can link items and skills in the chat so that someone else can view them. And the best part is that this also works with the wiki command.
So, for example, you found an item and want to know what it is and what you can use to for, just link it after /wiki and you are redirected to the full page of that item.
Unfortunately, I lately have issues with firefox in which the first wiki command somehow screws with my firefox and thinks that it needs to restart before being able to work correctly.
Goddamn that's awesome. Had no idea after hundreds of GW2 hours.
Here's the most useful one, IMO:
/wiki etIt takes you to the event timers page, so you can see when the world events are going to happen.
I also like
/wiki ezdwhich opens a page telling you how to quickly do the daily and weekly objectives.Warframe just did it too. Fantastic move.
