Fanart for Ganja White Night because I think it’s neat

Hi changeling-droneco, that is a wonderful question! We will answer the best that we can and offer our own journey into being independent. For this first part, we will assume that you'd be hosting the wiki yourself.

As with most things, running an independent wiki by your lonesome costs money, which can increase depending on the size and scope of the wiki. You'll want a solid income to fall back on. For us, our overseer pays for all of the hosting, servers and domain out of pocket. Other independent wikis might also run non-obtrusive ads, typically on the main page only, or rely completely on donations.

You, or someone you know, needs to have the technical expertise necessary to manage and maintain a server. You also need to have the storage space necessary to host all the wiki pages and files. For us, we're on a virtual server with 800k individual files allocated to us.

If this is not an option for you, there are alternatives! One is Miraheze, which an ad-free, donation-run, open-source wikifarm run entirely by volunteers. Unlike company that shall not be named, Miraheze allows you to practically do everything you could do if you were hosting by yourself without all the obtrusiveness. One thing to note is that Miraheze wikis need to remain active. If there are no edits in a certain timeframe, the wiki will be marked as inactive, which can be negated by making an edit.

There are also other independent wiki or wiki alliances that can assist greatly! You'll want to look towards the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance and the Gaming Wiki Network. These groups are experienced with running wikis and will definitely be able to help and answer any of the intricacies involved with running a wiki. You'd want to join their Discord communities for further information; they'll be incredibly happy to work with you and we're proud to be a part of both, as an affiliate and a member respectively!
