The Official League of Legends Wiki

The Community Wiki levels up.

TL;DR: With Player Days being a celebration of our players and the passion our communities have had for League all these years, we’re partnering with the players who’ve been running the League of Legends Wiki to launch and support a brand-new “official” wiki complete with all the content you’re used to seeing on it, free from third-party hosting and obnoxious ads. And this one will actually work on mobile!

If you’ve played any of our games, odds are you’ve visited one of the many wikis out there in search of deeper information. These wikis are a massive player-authored resource to help you learn everything about our games, from patch-to-patch changes, maybe a damage formula interaction for your favorite champ, or some obscure lore thing (that maybe even we forgot about).

While they provide a great service, they suffered from poor formatting due to website restrictions, or were covered with intrusive ads and popups. Nobody likes having their eardrums blown out by an auto-playing ad when reading the Varus updates on the wiki every patch. We want to fix those problems (and protect your eardrums) not just for League, but for all of the games.

That means we’ll be supporting the following established Runeterra based wiki communities (League of Legends, Teamfight Tactics, Wild Rift, and Legends of Runeterra).

And, thanks to the hard work of these player-authors, the new wiki is live right now. Check it out!

Player Days and the Wiki? 

The wiki team, made of passionate players, for years has been working hard every single patch to continually update and maintain the wiki. Learning how much work it took to update the wiki on some of our biggest patches was eye-opening and felt like one of the purest forms of caring for the community and our games. These players are ensuring that the history of the game, and all its changes are documented for every player that ever comes to it. For example, if you want to learn the ins and outs of a specific champion ability, multiple players, like you, will have written about and spent time researching every possible interaction that ability might have with something in the game; all so that you can be as knowledgeable as possible.

Earlier this year we began collaborating with the players who run the wiki. They were looking to leave their current hosting setup for a handful of reasons, such as being able to remove the ads that plagued their pages, make changes that had long been denied by their hosts, and just better support the community. It was easy to see the challenges they faced, and their vision of a better and official wiki, so we took action and moved the existing wiki into a new home. We’ve migrated all of the existing content that players created and moved it to the new wiki so it has everything you’re used to seeing, just with way less ads.

The New Wiki

Well, if you’re using the new wiki on mobile it should actually be readable for the first time ever. So if that’s you, then like everything is changing for you. For everyone else, the cool part is that not much is going to change here as far as how you “use” the wiki. Just now there won’t be a constant bombardment of advertisements as long as you’re using the new one.

This new wiki will still be player-run and authored, the only difference is we’re just paying for the hosting. It’ll also still be edited and managed by the same players that you may have seen running the old one. This also includes translation, as the wiki is user translated as well. We’re starting off in English but as time goes on more language portals will open up! 

Just make sure you’re going to the new domain of the wiki to help support the players who have been bringing you this information for years. If you want to get involved in helping the wiki or just to send these players a thank you, then you can join their discord here:
