The Stardew Valley Wiki has been a very popular and useful resource for Stardew Valley players for many years. The wiki is an open platform, edited and maintained mostly by the Stardew Valley community. However, the site itself was originally set up by Chucklefish, who were my publishers until I moved to self-publishing several years ago (they are still the publisher on mobile platforms, though). Chucklefish has been running the servers for the site and hosting it for these past five years, and I’d like to thank them for all the work that went into that. It’s really been a great resource for the community.
As part of the broader transition to self-publishing, though, I feel that it’s the right time for me to take over the hosting, maintenance, and responsibility for the wiki. From the perspective of you, the player, there will be very little difference. The wiki will look, feel, and behave in the same way it always has, and will continue to be an open platform edited by the community. It will continue to exist at https://www.stardewvalleywiki.com. In accordance with global privacy laws, no personal information has been transferred during this process, so you’ll need to make a new user account to edit the wiki. However, we’ve enabled a plugin that allows users to reclaim their old usernames by simply logging in with the same username and password as before.
You may have noticed some changes to the wiki in recent months, including a URL change. This was all temporary, and part of the transition process. Going forward, the official Stardew Valley Wiki will continue to operate as normal at https://www.stardewvalleywiki.com.

As always, thank you for playing Stardew Valley!

TLDR; Ownership & hosting of the Stardew Valley wiki has moved into my own hands. It’s still a community-edited platform and nothing significant will change from a user perspective.
