All wikis were powered by the now ubiquitous {{tag|MediaWiki}} software, and their visual appearance was modified by way of {{tag|custom skin}}s. For those on the go, Gamepedia wikis can also be accessed by and [[edit]]ed on various [[:Category:Mobile phones|mobile devices]] thanks to the inclusion of the {{tag|Wikis with a mobile-view site|mobile}}-specific skin called {{tag|Minerva}}.  Notably, <u>all</u> wikis on the Gamepedia [[wiki farm]] were powered by a <u>single core installation</u> of MediaWiki known as {{tag|Hydra}}.[https://Help.Gamepedia.com/What_is_Hydra] Semantic data was originally enabled by way of utilising the [[:Category:Semantic MediaWiki|Semantic MediaWiki]] suite of extensions, though this was subsequently disabled.  Funding was achieved by way of a plethora of on-screen {{tag|advertising}}.
