What makes the OSRS Wiki so good and what lessons can other game wikis learn from it? I think it’s pretty much accepted, even outside the OSRS community, that the OSRS Wiki is exemplary. It’s so above and beyond what other games, even other MMOs, offer. This got me thinking, what caused the Wiki to be such a huge success? I can easily imagine a parallel universe where the OSRS Wiki was “just another game wiki” left to languish in mediocrity. In fact, the Wiki has set a gold-standard and benchmark for other games. This is all well and good, but I’m interested in what caused this. What can other game wikis learn from it? What are they doing wrong that the OSRS Wiki is doing right? Of course, the surface analysis is “it just has all the info lol” but that’s not very useful for anyone from another community trying to bring their own wikis up to par. There’s some secret sauce that I just haven’t been able to nail down. Thoughts? submitted by /u/lelemuren
