There is another WikiIndex wiki of video games under a similar name called [[Gamepedia.com]].
There is also another WikiIndex [[Special:Categories|category]] of a video games [[wiki farm]] under a similar name called [[:Category:Gamepedia.com|Gamepedia.com]].  That entire Gamepedia.com wiki farm was subsequently acquired by [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia, Inc.]], and Gamepedia.com became a sub-brand of Fandom by Wikia.  After GamePedia.org went offline, its contents also became part of the Gamepedia.com site of Fandom.
