This seems like it could be doable especially for the larger mmo's like World of Warcraft, Dungeon Fighter Online, Runescape, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning and especially the new upcoming Warhammer game Dark Millennium Online.

Per game? Would just be a tremendous waste of resources. If there are just a few special cases I'm not really sure what would qualify a game for getting a wiki made. iirc, GameSpot (or was it only GameFAQs?) tried something like this a while ago, crosslinking to a site-styled version of an offsite wiki. Not really sure where that went off to, haven't seen any wiki tabs in a good while.

I disagree. Nearly every game has images, videos, text documents etc, don't just waltz up in here saying "Oh I think it would be a waste of resources". Have you even setup & managed a wiki yourself?

Whether seperate wikis entirely or just a lot of namespaces, there would still end up being mountains of data needed to store them. Judging by GameFAQs' FAQ completion statistics, we have about 116846 games on this site that would wind up with a wiki of its own; considering the vast majority would never see an edit... well, it's a big waste of space. I'm not against the idea of having wiki functionality here, just against the idea that every game should get one. At the very least it should require a decent number of users stepping up to get the game's wiki started off to get one made for a game.

Giantbomb has this feature. It's useful for various things, but there's always the possibility that trolls are going to be constantly editing pages of things they don't like. Besides, I'd rather see Gamespot fix and improve existing features before adding new ones.
