Revision as of 01:05, 14 August 2020
As a means of providing more information to the reader without going outside our scope, StrategyWiki has partnerships with a few other websites on the Internet, so that we can share information and visitors on specific subjects. StrategyWiki provides the game information and walkthroughs, while the other wikis typically provide more detailed all-round information.
If you know of a large wiki which you think would make a good StrategyWiki partner, please suggest it on discord; as long as it's a well-established and vibrant wiki, with detailed and appropriate information, it's likely to be contacted about forming a partnership.
