In addition to the usual problems with Fandom that can be mitigated by using Ublock Origin filters or sites like https://antifandom.com/, the Stargate Fandom wiki is frustrating because it has all sorts of non-canon information from the extended universe novels, comics, RPG manuals, etc. right alongside everything else in each article. This information even displaces canon information in places (the wiki goes so far as to insist that Michael’s name is actually “Lastlight”, the Gamekeeper is actually an android, and all sorts of other nonsense). At least for the Star Trek Fandom wiki, the non-canon stuff is hidden under the “Apocrypha” section at the bottom of each article. But the Stargate Fandom wiki’s non-canon info is just mixed in with everything else. Any time I see some fact mentioned, I have to check for a citation to see if that fact actually came from an episode or if it came from a novel or something.

Gateworld is often a useful resource for Stargate info, but it definitely has less information about every subject. Even canon information that I genuinely do want to see, the Fandom wiki unfortunately often answers questions for me that the corresponding Gateworld article does not touch upon at all.

    My quality of life improved dramatically when I blocked fandom domains. Now no matter what the search, I get other wiki’s, which are always better.
