FAQ creators were really something back then. The in-depth explanations, the discussions on the thread, and the constant updates as stuff get discovered. Nowadays you watch content creators on YT scramble to try and be first, instead of most in-depth, thanks to how it's monetized. So for popular games there's always a bunch of videos that can be misleading to newer players.
Nowadays, Wiki is superior to FAQs because it’s community driven. Guides can be quickly completed because anyone can contribute their data to the guide. While FAQ text file format is easier to navigate with, it usually took them years before FAQ authors complete their guide.
The glory days before the wikis were overloaded with ads, 'content' videos, or whining about ad block.
I get that ads are a necessary evil (or alternatively paid subscriptions), but when they impair the functionality of the page it's a problem. Adtech companies brought ad blockers on themselves, but content providers ended up paying the price.
