    well the title is a bit self explanatory. but it would be like the Minecraft or Terraira wiki showing npcs ect. ect.

    Most games have a wiki, unofficial sometimes. it would greatly surprise me if there wasn't a wiki for this game but we shall wait and see.

    PicklishDoorknob Yeah, You!

    If there isn't one, surely there will be an unofficial wiki (wikia.com?).

    Looks like the first wiki has more info on it than the others, so I say that one won already...

    Given the nature of internet and fans, there will likely be several wikis.

    I know its already been said that there isn't likely to be an official wiki due to the nature of the procedurally generated world and items within it, but It will be curious to see which wiki does best when it all comes into view. If Borderlands has shown us anything, it's that it can be done with enough community effort.

    I asked the same question a week ago. The devs will most likely make an official wiki once the game is out. Any wikis that are out at the moment are based a lot on speculation. I'd just wait for the dev one.

    I can't remember where i saw this IRC at, but Tiy stated that any game that requires a Wiki, is badly designed. I take that as the devs will not be making their own wiki, leaving it to the fans. Which surely will happen no matter what.

    Actually, that kind of makes it more interesting, no? Say there's a page on... penguins. When a player encounters a new variation that has not been cataloged into the wiki then they can add a subpage to it, maybe even put in their own name as the discoverer of that variation. Kind of adds to the immersion, going out into space, finding and cataloging all the different kinds of species. As for the whether we'll get an official wiki or not... eh, a wiki is a wiki. So long as we get our information, it's all good. We'll just need to pick ONE to use otherwise the information will end up divided :p

    Which is why I mentioned the Borderlands wiki and don't believe starbound would have an official one. It would be dependent on players submitting the variations they come across, which would in fact be neat to have but too much work for any one person alone. Official or not, there is lots to come.

    There's no official wiki, but there are quite a few unofficial wikis. :p
