fan wiki

Unofficial knowledge repository

A fan wiki is a collaborative website where enthusiasts document and organize information about a fictional universe, video game, TV series, or other media property.

Unlike official sources, fan wikis are created and maintained by devoted fans who compile lore, character details, episode summaries, and trivia: I looked up the timeline on the fan wiki.

These sites often become authoritative references for complex fictional worlds, sometimes exceeding official documentation in depth and detail.
