All wikis are powered by the now ubiquitous {{tag|MediaWiki}} software, and their visual appearance are modified by way of {{tag|custom skin}}s. | |||
For those on the go, Gamepedia wikis can also be accessed by and edited on various mobile devices thanks to the inclusion of the mobile-specific skin. Notably, <u>all</u> wikis on the Gamepedia [[wiki farm]] are powered by a single core installation of MediaWiki known as Hydra.[https://Help.Gamepedia.com/What_is_Hydra] Semantic data is enabled by way of utilising the {{tag|Semantic MediaWiki}} suite of extensions. Funding is achieved by way of a plethora of on-screen {{tag|advertising}}. | |||
