'''Gamepedia''' was the {{tag|WikiFarm|wiki farm}} owned and operated by {{tag|Curse}} (formerly Curse Inc., Curse now owned by Twitch Interactive, Inc.).  Gamepedia, as its name suggests, only hosts [[wiki]] sites in support of {{tag|video games}}, and no other [[:Category:Wiki Topic|subject]].  It operates on the <tt>Gamepedia.com</tt> domain, with all wiki sites being a sub-domain; for example, the [[Gamepedia Help Wiki]] is found at <tt>Help.Gamepedia.com</tt>.  Furthermore, all Gamepedia.com wiki URLs are accessed via the 'https' SSL secure connection protocol, as certified by Starfield Technologies, Inc.

Gamepedia called itself the largest video game [[WhatIsWiki|wiki]] platform on the web in 2018, and featured hundreds of community-driven wiki projects in many {{tag|Wiki Multilingual|different languages}}.  Gamepedia was home to everything from indie title wikis, to some of the best-known gaming wikis; such as the official [[Minecraft Wiki]], [[Leaguepedia]], and the official [[ARK Wiki]].  Ranked in the top 1,000 sites globally by traffic,{{Fact}} Gamepedia continued to expand rapidly with the creation of new wiki projects on a near-daily basis.  In addition to its wiki offerings, Gamepedia was also a source of gaming [[:Category:News|news]] and [[:Category:Information|information]], high-quality video content, and exciting contests and giveaways.

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}}.

In 12 December 2018, the entire Gamepedia.com wiki farm, and all its wiki sites, were acquired by {{tag|Wikia|Wikia, Inc.}}, and all sites were subsumed into Wikia's Fandom brand.

In 2018, Gamepedia.com hosted about 1,660&nbsp;[https://www.Gamepedia.com/wikis game related wikis].
