Welcome to <big>'''''StrategyWiki'''''</big>, a collaborative wiki that seeks to become the largest source for videogame strategy guides! We hope to cover videogames for all platforms--on consoles, handhelds, and PCs--as well as import videogames. This website can be edited by anyone, so feel free to collaborate with us! Our eventual goal is to attempt replacing GameFAQs as the number one gaming strategy website. While GameFAQs has been a great resource, it has become somewhat dated as of late.
{{StrategyWiki:Featured Guide}}


There are many problems which StrategyWiki seeks to improve upon:

<big>''The wiki format of StrategyWiki allows for multiple editors''</big>, thus improving the insight and quality each guide recieves. Also unlike GameFAQs, which allows an unlimited number of guides per games, we only allow one: with too many choices, it quickly becomes a confusing task to choose which guide is right for you. Collaboritively working on one guide ensures a higher quality guides.

<big>''StrategyWiki ensures that the guides remain open.''</big> With StrategyWiki, content never "dies", and it can be updated by other writers even if original contributors abandon the guide. This is not true with GameFAQs, which only allow the original author to edit his or her guide; once the author abandons a guide, there will be no more updates, improvements, or corrections. StrategyWiki also maintains all of its content under the GNU FDL, allowing unlimited use within those terms. (More licensing issues TBD!)
''To vote for the next Collaboration of the month, visit the [[StrategyWiki:Collaboration of the Month|Collaboration of the Month]] page with your comments on why your nominee page should become the collaboration of the month. This could include a specific game, policies needing finalization, or anything that the community should work together as a team to complete.''

<big>''There are no more "plaintext" guides.''</big> We have real readability. With adventure games, we can even have multiple-page guides that ensure that a user does not stumble upon spoilers. There's also real markup, and images can be attached. Once we have the bandwidth, we may even allow video walkthrough uploads as well.
