Personnaly, I have found that the quildwars.wikia.com site provides "better" information in many ways. Just to name a few: schedule of Zaishen Challenges, schedule of WiK quests
|
I usually only use official wiki, advertisements-free and with better impagination (and that also depends on ads). And I find it more accurate. I go to wikia when I need more sources (ex. more info on a mission, as they are described differently in one from the other) and sometimes for armors, as picures are better there.
And most of the time I search from the game, so wiki is default on that.
95% of the time I use http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Main_Page
yeah I have both up at all times, but I find the ads on the unofficial (the stuff on the left) annoying as *&^% so if I want to use it I have to log in (sometimes more than once too) and its not updated very often anymore. That said the information it does have is presented better, missions have strategies and armor has LOTS of screenshots (not just the grey and red ones that the official has). When I need to find things I can find them better on the unofficial one (books artisans skills) as well as the zaishen stuff.
I dont like the fact that the official is being used also as a forum with all those blogs et al from the anet staff ....but that issue is a dead horse.
so
I like the unofficial better as its user friendly and has more information laid out nicely, the official has more up to date information, but lacks some of the strategies/armors etc.

*cough cough* do you know official wiki has that as well, right?

TY for the heads up

I usually go to the official guild wars wiki first of all as it looks better and is better organized I find. If it doesn't have what I want, I then look to the unofficial guild wars wikia.
If I am doing something in game, I usually have the section from both wikis up for what I'm doing just incase (and doing that has always worked well for me
)

I like the official one better. It has more accurate information and it's in more detail. The unofficial is just full of idiots going around messing up pages or thinking it's a contest to see who can edit the page last. The admins on the unofficial seem to be hell bent about undoing peoples work. I posted up info on the Battle for Lion's Arch just to have an admin completely purge the page and put up a 3 line account of the mission. I re put up my info just to have the same admin do it again and kick me off the site.
So ya official is much better when in comes to up to date news and info.

AND when the "Official Site" is really borked, even ANET refers us to the "Unofficial Site" http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ldwars.wiki a as opposed to just telling us to wait until the "Official Site" is fixed.

I see nothing in that link that puts an employee of ANet in the position of recommending the use of the unofficial wikia.

Actully, I didn't know that a schedule was available on official wiki. Unofficial has link on main page & I guess that I didn't use the right keywords (on the official wiki" in the search box to find the nested links/pages showing the SCHEDULE (use the search term predictions not schedule to find those pages easily)

Ooh! Tihark time!
i use wiki.guildwars motly because of the layout and good info sources. though for missions and HM tips .wikia seems better. official seems to not have a list of some things like elite skills in NF but it does have them by capture location.in the same way you can't search storyline to find out the order of missions :/

I prefer the official one these days, though as with all wikis, I stay away from the discussion pages.

Yes you can. You're just bad at the wiki.
