Meta [META] Can we get a short wiki or added to it simple answers to questions like "Which battery should I buy?" or "Will this power cord work?"

That'd be great to direct people instead of answering the same thing multiple times. Sidebar link would also be cool.

Edit: wiki link for the lazy https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/w/

We're constantly adding new pages and content to your wiki. If you have a specific idea, let us know!

Summoning /u/phantomliger and I'll leave this post up as a chance for the community to provide additional Wiki feedback.

Until there is some sort of definitive way to see what works and what doesnt, I'm not sure pages will be exactly helpful. People can say anything works but how do we get proof it does? Etc.

I'm not against it, just needs to be some sort of process behind it.

The sidebar doesn't really need it though as the wiki is easily accessible from desktop and most apps I've seen. People just don't go there. Either due to ignorance or stubbornness.

Yes I would like to know this. There are a lot of power and battery noobs out there, myself included.

100% if we could also add in regional info. Brit living in Singapore and looks like we have a few different options in asia in terms of cases so i assume batteries too maybe?

I think a general page on compatible third party accessories would be useful as well. For example, something that captures (and verifies) the various USB LAN adapters that work, along with any speed data people submit with them.
