Idk about you but having some test for the sake of using name Wiki is not much to expect.

While this is bad it's not unusual, hell even Microsoft is ramping up it's ads in Windows 10 with their upcoming "Windows 10 Anniversary Edition" (I guess for July 29th, 1st year for Windows 10). Microsoft is market spinning more ads on the Windows 10 Start Menu tiles as a way to "introduce users & expose them to the Windows Store".

You can read the full story here: Windows 10 Anniversary doubles Start Menu app advert slots

Now that's super bad and another reason my Windows 7 Pro is staying on my gaming rig for a long time.

Wait, there's an official wiki?


This. It ain't official.
when the official website does t have a wiki and only redirect you to a wiki... It becomes pretty much an official wiki

"Pretty much", except when the distinction matters, in which case it's not official.

^ oh snap lol

Fyi, this is what the actual Wiki itself has to say on the matter:
"This site is a part of Curse, Inc. and is not affiliated with Grinding Gear Games."


How people use the Internet without this (or similar) in 2016 is a mystery to me.

Just install it, it's free. And it works. There are literally no downsides to it.


Probably GGG should have a word with Gamepedia then, so they remove their claim to be official.

Well because most "legitimate" websites don't have anywhere near the advertising spam that warrants that type of thing.

The wiki could probably do with making its mind up on whether its official or not.

If you are using Firefox, I highly recommend the NoScript ad on. Ads and pop ups will not run unless you allow them to run. It makes your browser more secure.

You can find it under Tools->Add ons (and then type in No Script) or get it directly from their site:
