WARFRAME Wiki (Official)
The official, community-run WARFRAME encyclopedia, now self-hosted at wiki.warframe.com after leaving Fandom with Digital Extremes' backing.
Overview
WARFRAME Wiki is the comprehensive, community-maintained knowledge base for Digital Extremes' free-to-play game Warframe, covering warframes, weapons, companions, enemies, mods, drop tables, quests, lore, and game mechanics. In 2025 the wiki migrated off Fandom to its own domain (wiki.warframe.com); Digital Extremes officially endorses this new site, covers its hosting costs, and provides SEO help and assets, while Weird Gloop (the organization behind the RuneScape, OSRS, and Minecraft wikis) assists with backend support. The move was driven by long-standing community frustration with Fandom's heavy ads, auto-playing videos, pop-ups, and poor performance. The new site carries over past content and comment history and is where all future updates are documented.
Best for: Any Warframe player, new or veteran, who needs authoritative game data: build stats, drop sources, quest steps, or mechanics details.
Key features
- Detailed pages for warframes, weapons, companions, and enemies with stats
- Drop tables, mission rewards, and resource-location data
- Modding, damage, and progression mechanics guides
- Quest walkthroughs, codex entries, and lore documentation
- Live open-world cycle clocks (Cetus/Plains, Orb Vallis, etc.)
- Patch notes, event coverage, and Prime Resurgence info
- Ad-free, high-performance self-hosted MediaWiki (desktop and mobile)
- Comment sections and community editing
Pros & cons
- Officially endorsed and funded by Digital Extremes
- Ad-free with major desktop and mobile performance gains vs. Fandom
- Comprehensive, authoritative coverage of nearly all game content
- Backend support from Weird Gloop (RuneScape/OSRS/Minecraft wiki experience)
- Preserved historical content and comment history from the old wiki
- Free and read-only, no account or software needed
- Transitional period: outdated Fandom mirror still ranks in search and confuses users
- Community-edited data can occasionally lag behind new patches
- Very information-dense pages can overwhelm brand-new players
- As a wiki, accuracy depends on volunteer editors
Community sentiment
Community sentiment toward the migration is strongly positive: players had complained for years about Fandom's intrusive ads and sluggish, sometimes unreadable pages, and the move to a fast, ad-free, DE-endorsed site was widely welcomed. The wiki itself is regarded as the single most essential reference for the game. The main lingering points are transitional confusion (outdated Fandom pages still ranking in search) and the usual caveat that community-edited data can occasionally lag behind patches.
