Especially if it’s a more obscure game. Most pages on the (fandom hosted) DeathSpank wiki have a lot of Red (unmade) links and say lasted edited in 2011.

If you're looking for an easy way to get to non-fandom Wikis, Indie Wiki Buddy is a nice browser extension that lets you know if there's a non-fandom wiki whenever you look something up on a search engine or if you happen upon a fandom WIki.

Thanks once again Hunch! Not sure why people are cheering though....

Though truth be told I'd still be miffed if even an actually honest-to-god official Wiki started plagiarising RayWiki.
Well there's that, and then we have Ubisoft themselves "borrowing" things from RayWiki.
