AlbertoFlores Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 It is better to use the doddex since it is more updated, although it would be very good if the Ark wiki updated all its information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was me because Id refused cookies. was hoping anyone here was actually seeing the data, in which case Ive got some setting wrong still in my browser or the firewall. IDK. for me its been two months and Ive reported it 4 times. its done it before and miraculously will suddenly be fixed. I think what happens is these maps are maintained by NON employees and it only takes one mistaken buit of code for things to blow up. used to happen a lot with fandom as well. this I know, well having worked with, and coded my own stuff back in the day. literally can be just one little bitty thing out of whack.

I know, run on long sentence. and WC, either fix the wiki.gg or take the wiki to a website host that doesnt want to abuse your users privacy. PLEASE. incognito/private mode, no cookie allowed, no login, map working. So please stop spreading food about wiki.gg spying to use the website. IF there was a platform ABUSING website visitors privacy was actually FANDOM and that's the reason the official wiki was moved to wiki.gg, as long with 99% of editors. As for Dododex, the developer is working on an app update which will include also correct links etc. This update will also solve issues on last android versions where the greedy google that doesn't care at all about your privacy forces devs to update and target last bloated SDK even on fully working and solid apps. PS: the only element blocked in that browser screenshot by ublock is actually google tag script that embeds in the website the website project id for analytics, without that allowed website owner doesn't even get the website usage stats. PPS: using last version of firefox ESR with chrome.css to re-enable old gui, nothing more. Edited July 1, 2023 by darkradeon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scheneighnay Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Fandom is the best I'm aware of, despite being outdated. Dododex I can't stand because there's so much spam in it like people trying to make suggestions and somehow getting upvoted for their stupidity.

This looks unique to you. "Spawn_Locations" and "Spawn_Map" are two different things. Spawn_Locations is for characters, Spawn_Map is for creatures. If you are going to "Creature Spawn Maps" > "The Island" and it's taking you to the "Spawn_Locations" page, that's not happening to other people, there's something wrong on your end. 1) The first page you showed in your original post is titled, "The Island/Spawn Locations" https:// ark. wiki. gg / wiki / The_Island / Spawn_Locations As already communicate to you by more than one person - That is the map for character spawn locations. When I click on the down-arrow next to "Content" it shows a list of all the character spawn zones, which is exactly what it's supposed to show. 2) The second page you showed in your original post is titled, "Data Maps" https:// ark. wiki. gg / wiki / Data_maps This page contains multiple sections including: a) Resource Maps When I click on The Island it takes me to "Resource Map/The Island" just like it's supposed to. https:// ark. wiki. gg / wiki / Resource_Map / The_Island b) Explorer Maps When I click on The Island it takes me to "Explorer Map/The Island", just like it's supposed to. https:// ark. wiki. gg / wiki / Explorer_Map / The_Island c) Creature Spawn Maps When I click on The Island it takes me to "Spawn Map/The Island", just like it's supposed to. https:// ark. wiki. gg / wiki / Spawn_Map / The_Island If you click on "Creatures" you can type the name into the search box Edited July 3, 2023 by Pipinghot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now returning to your question: Dododex is beautiful for some things, but it's not a wiki, it isn't supposed to be a wiki and was never intended to be a wiki. But for the information that Dododex intends to provide, it does a wonderful job. Fandom was, and still is, much MUCH worse than wiki.gg regarding data collection and privacy. Even if they were current and up to date it would still be a horrible site. Fandom is a horror show unless you use script blocking and ad blocking. These are among the multiple reasons that the wiki left Fandom and migrated to wiki.gg. Just about everything else on the web is out of date. There were lots of fan pages, calculators and other tools for ARK when it was new but people stopped maintaining them over time. In summary: If you want a true wiki, there is no good alternative to wiki.gg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See where the screen shot says "Drawn" that is where on Fandom it says "creature". and I did not realize the layout of the menu was different. and before anyone makes fun of me, yes I am sight impaired. and also I swear to all the dead gods that used to say "creature" as well when the wiki first came out. so YES I was crazy. lol but you just saved my sanity. thank you JOE! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
