'''Gamepedia''' was the {{tag|free MediaWiki wiki farm}} which was owned and operated by {{tag|Curse}} (formerly Curse Inc., Curse subsequently owned by Twitch Interactive, Inc.). Gamepedia, as its name suggests, only hosted [[wiki]] sites in support of {{tag|video games}}, and no other [[:Category:Wiki Topic|subject]]. It operated on the '''<tt>Gamepedia.com</tt>''' domain, with all wiki sites being a sub-domain; for example, the [[Gamepedia Help Wiki]] was found at <tt>Help.Gamepedia.com</tt>. Furthermore, all Gamepedia.com wiki site URLs were accessed via the '{{Cambridge-Dictionary|http}}s' {{Cambridge-Dictionary|ssl|SSL}}, or 'Secure Sockets Layer' secure connection protocol, as certified by Starfield Technologies, Inc. | |||
