The Independent Fallout Wiki is moving!

That's right, the Independent Fallout Wiki is moving! Now what does this mean for our editors and readers? Here is everything you need to know...

Tonight, the IFW will be switched into "Read Only Mode" for a short period of time while we transfer our data to another server. This means that users can no longer edit pages, but can still find pages and browse as usual.

We're teaming up folks at @uesp for our hosting needs, but the content we create and host is entirely curated by IFW members. That means the IFW will REMAIN independent!

Users might notice an ad or two on the site, these help cover our increased operating costs! If users log into an IFW account, these ads will be disabled.

Once all of our database is moved, the wiki will come out of "Read Only" and editors can resume editing and the website will function as normal. Please report any hiccups you may experience post move to the IFW social media, or to our staff in our Discord server.

My favorites from the generic dialogue pages. I’ve never really done a lot to gain low disposition with Skyrim NPCs so I haven’t seen a lot of these.

i love reading through the uesp wiki when i wanna develop ocs and finding the most obscure random facts ever

like ARE YOU KIDDING ME/?!! THATS LITERALLY SO COOL??? IM LITERALLY MAKING AN OC TO ROLEPLAY THIS IMMEDIATELY??!! AAAAA

[elderscrollsconceptart]

@uesp thank you for sharing this important Todd fact 🫡

Hey, TESblr? Am I losing my mind, or is there no canonical reference to the Indoril helmet being specifically based on Nerevar's appearance? According to UESP, it comes from a metatextual Kirkbride post

Please tell me I'm wrong

I bring this up because St. Olms is the earliest guy in the lore with fully canonical Ordinator-mohawk-face appearance, on his shrines and banners, and he lived around the same time as Nerevar

[incorrectskyrimquotes]

still the best thing to ever happen on uesp

Since I have eay too much experience on editing on UESP, and I have an editor for it built in to VScode and all:

If anyone has an OC that they have a lot of details etc for, I can make you a (not actual) UESP style page-thing, if you'd like?

I can probably share the final versions etc as editable html, pngs, pdf, or something

I can make up an example later that I can share. I have done this loads for my own characters, OCs, ttrpg stuff, etc.

Love how Divayth Fyr's page on uesp has some (probably unintentional) second-hand commentary throughout the whole thing, from the man himself. I can't read about him in peace without hearing what he thinks of it

I am a very lucky guy to be able to hoard so much TES merch 🩵🙏

This gets me every time, "Old People Race" :P I think they should gain a racial power to complain about the youth™

One of the most surprising bug fixes of Oblivion Remastered is that they made it so if you drop the Statuette of a Dog an actual texture is applied to it, and both versions are effected by gravity and manipulable. However, it is a permanent quest item, and can never be dropped.

"I am whatever the people need me to be. A guardian. An oppressor. For some, too distant. For others, too meddlesome. I am the canvas upon which they paint their dreams and resentments. A vessel for their hopes and doubts. A mirror. Nothing more."

It's live. 50 USD, or 60 for some Deluxe Edition.

The fact is the mass consolidation of wikis and fan sites into single sites was basically a trap to force those communities to deal with the eventual enshittification of the platform that absorbed them. Some of us had the foresight and hands to see this coming and avoid this, but others are now trying to escape and stand on their own at last. The UESP isn't alone, Indie Wiki Buddy has a pretty good list (and extension to help you find them).

Are there any other independent wikis/fan communities that you care about still out there? We'd love to hear about them.
