      If I recall correctly, the official Minecraft wiki used to be a custom/self-hosted MediaWiki installation. They moved to Fandom at some point.

        It was hosted on gamepedia and it was called official, but when fandom bought gamepedia and moved the wiki to their site it lost its official status

      it’s not official in that way no. “official” in this case is being used to mean “this is the wiki everyone uses, and which is acknowledged to be the Minecraft wiki”―but it has no formal ties with Mojang or Microsoft. some people have suggested they finally make the relation official to get the hell off Fandom, but i’m not sure how much Microsoft cares.
