As arks official wiki no longer works, or at least doesnt work unless you give .gg and all their associates access to your habits and personal data, Im looking for alternatives. I know, run on long sentence.

I use doddex, doesnt have everything
I use fandom, woefully outdated
and randomly google and see lots of other options. however, no idea where they get their data or if its up to date. so hopeing other players have recommends. please and thanks.

and WC, either fix the wiki.gg or take the wiki to a website host that doesnt want to abuse your users privacy. PLEASE.

BTW I, with an alternate account, tried giving gg the access it craves but the wiki still did not show spawn locations for dinos or resources.

 

that image tells me you did not click on the spawn map for island but rather assumed that the player spawn map on the island page

the creature spawn map can be found here: https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Spawn_Map/The_Island as pointerd out by joe pointed out above

also you were already told on this post

what exactly wiki.gg is accessing and its far less then any other wiki platform out there

feel free to continue using fandom and get your data and much more sold to everyone out there

you can see that fandom uses your info to serve you ads by google and other providers just by checking the ads displayed there

wiki gg only display generic ads for their own publisher (named freedom games)  and sometimes for games that have wikis on them (terraria had a ad campaign about their shop one time) but those ads are served for everyone logged out and not tailored to you like on other platforms

Can we get the "Clonable" information to the rest of the creatures just like the Amarga?

hey do you mean this section?

if so we are working on setting that up in the meantime you can check these cloning costs also on this site https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Cloning_Chamber#Calculator

ark.wiki.gg is demanding to allow collection of personal information. do not use it.
 

all it is doing is notifying you about the presence of Google Analytics which are used to see which pages are seen most, what people search for on the wiki etc.

this is less of information then any other platform is gathering from you

it is not even used for personalised advertisements like other platforms do

if you have any more question just tag me and i will try to answer them

I've been looking at the ARK Wiki, and I'm not much of a wiki specialist so I'm not sure how to address this properly, but I noticed that on this page: https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Domestication

Under the Transport section it gives the base Weight of a Parasaur as 255 which puts it pretty low on the land transport list.

Meanwhile, on the Parasaur page at: https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Parasaur and also in-game from my experience, the Parasaur has a base Weight of 480, which is much higher and should put it just below the Rex, and make it a far better hauling creature for any newbie like myself. It's reasonably fast too, on foot, I think?

I am curious how this error happened. Given it's 255 it might be an integer problem? Was the Parasaur base weight always 480? I didn't see any notes on it changing in the dino's change log.

I haven't been playing ARK long, about a week or two on and off. Bought it years ago and bounced off, recently gave it another try and I'm loving it after I figured out the first parts. I finally decided to join the forums here after finding this issue on the Wiki. I hope posting about it helps somebody who is more involved and knows what to do. For my own sake, I'm glad I noticed and didn't just go by the chart on the first page!

hey thanks for the find.

i checked with our extracted data and updated the wrong value.

Can we move the wiki search to the header bar? That way it's always accessible. ATM I need to scroll back to the top of the page every time I want to search.

Have made a Tamper/Grease Monkey script at usercss/gible.user.js (github.com) for those who don't want to wait  

Hey we will look into this
the issue is the header is kind of offlimits without approval from the host (wiki.gg) but they are open for feedback so we will check back with them
