Traditionally, video game | StrategyWiki is a website that hosts thousands of free, collaboratively-written video game strategy guides. | ||
The site was founded in December 2005 by former member [[User:Echelon|Brandon Suit]] with the idea that the existing strategy guides on the internet could be improved. Three years later, in December 2008, [[User:Procyon|Scott Jacobi]] officially established ABXY LLC for the purpose of owning and operating StrategyWiki as a community. Our vision is to bring free, collaborative video game strategy guides to the masses. | |||
Traditionally, video game strategy guides have been created in plain text with limited formatting and no embellishments other than [[wp:ASCII art|ASCII art]]. In recent years, plain text guides have been increasingly criticized for not having evolved along with advances in web design and web content accessibility. | |||
With the powerful MediaWiki processing engine at its core, StrategyWiki guides can utilize rich text, tables, and inline images—all things that are either impossible or extremely difficult to replicate in a plain text file. The addition of these different media forms can greatly increase reader comprehension of information in a strategy guide. | |||
