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.

Guide infobox linking

PCGamingWiki

PCGamingWiki is an independent wiki which focuses on the technical aspects of PC games. As they cover every PC game released, we have the most games linking to each other. They link to us from their infoboxes, and we link to them from ours, via the pcgamingwiki parameter.

As this is such an extensive interlinking, the parameter updates are handled by a bot that runs monthly. If you notice a missing link, create a redirect from the PCGamingWiki name to the StrategyWiki name, and the bot will create the links during its next run.

Neoseeker

Neoseeker provides guides, cheats, and forum discussions for gaming and PC enthusiasts. They link to us as a walkthrough resource, and all our game infoboxes automatically link to their game pages via an API integration.

Switcher.gg

Switcher.gg helps connect Nintendo Switch Online players with each other. They link to us for game walkthroughs, and all our game infoboxes automatically link to their game pages via an API integration.
