Welcome to StrategyWiki, 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. There are many problems which StrategyWiki seeks to improve upon: The wiki format of StrategyWiki allows for multiple editors, 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. StrategyWiki ensures that the guides remain open. 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!) There are no more "plaintext" guides. 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.

Collaboration(s) of the Week The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is one of the finest videogames ever produced by Nintendo. It's also an adventure game that many of us are very familiar with. This is why we've chosen it to be our first big project. We can experiment with the "book format" articles with this game. Mario Kart DS needs cleaning. It'll probably be in the "single page format", since it is not a quest and has no real spoilers.

Stuff About us We were founded by the same person who set up dsmeet.com just this last November. Let's hope this StrategyWiki continues the winning streak of open-ended (and successful) videogame websites! Help us spread the virus! Er, kidding. Just help us get the word out about the wiki!
