Independent wikis for those media franchises that have them.

Does this mean self-hosting the wiki?
Because that increase the barrier of entry by tenfold as a lot of publishers/game studios do not host their own wikis.

Or use a wiki host that’s not affiliated with Fandom.

But they did buy out Gamepedia too…

It really just depends on the fandom. Three more I know of are Bulbapedia for Pokemon, The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages for the Elder Scrolls, and Wookiepedia for Star Wars. They are all very comprehensive and functional.

Edit: Forgot about the Super Mario Wiki too.

Aside from self-hosting your own wiki, https://wiki.gg/ seems to be the popular option. Terraria’s official wiki is now https://terraria.wiki.gg/ and it’s great.

Self-hosting using MediaWiki

Unless the game your playing made their own, or someone else decided to self host and actually fill it with content (and finding it can be a pain), there isn’t one.

Hoping someone knows a good fallout wiki, I hate using fandom, but it’s the only one I can find with good info.
