Fun tidbits from http://xenoserieswiki.org. Spoilers. Inspired by @/depthsofwikipedia. Run by rtg142857 (an editor but otherwise unaffiliated with the wiki).
Screenshot of a table on the "Bind (XCX)" page on the Xeno Series Wiki, listing the rates at which AI-controlled party members in Xenoblade X successfully complete Soul Challenges to bind an enemy.
In Xenoblade X, different AI-controlled characters have different chances of QTE success when binding an enemy in a Skell.
Doug — the ace Skell pilot who has constant combat dialogue about debuffing his foes — is tied for worst at this.
Hope is second-best.

The infobox for Xenoblade X's "Mystery Man" sidequest on Xeno Series Wiki. The list of conditions for the quest appearance reads: "Story: Chapter 5 completed Quest not completed: Mystery Man Quest objective not completed: Mystery Man - Talk to Graham on Central Melville Street in the commercial district."
Advantages of having a robust condition module based on the in-game data: nothing left out, easy to change things all in one place, less work managing thousands of relevant pages...
Disadvantages: you have to display all the redundancy included in the game too.
It looks at first glance to me like the double casts are necessary? But I'm certainly no expert in decompilation.

A post on the Xeno Series Wiki discord by Sir Teati Moonlight, saying: "okay that should be better I expect a DoXSW post about this saga :P"
As an aside, the List of bugs and glitches (XCX) page in the first screenshot is definitely one of my favourites as of late. It really shows how much duct tape is holding these games together.
xenoserieswiki.org/wiki/List_of...
Screenshot of the "List of bugs and glitches (XCX)" Xeno Series Wiki page, describing the very technical bug which leads to Gradivus having 5 more HP than he 'should'.
Discussion on the Xeno Series Wiki discord: "> omitting casts from float to double please provide the entire formula that includes all casts, so I can get the full picture of how much this matters if at all" Response from Hamidu: "oh boy, give me a second to wrap my head around it" Followed by a screenshot of decompiled code from XCX, leading with a cast to a double, then to a float, then to a double, then to a float, then to a double.
Screenshot of Sir Teati Moonlight in the Xeno Series Wiki discord wrapping his head around exactly what's causing the discrepancy between the in-game enemy stat calculation (something which takes 9 lines of code with numbers listed at extremely high precision to properly interpret) and the on-wiki calculation.
Screenshot of the newly-added "Module:XCX enemy stat" Xeno Series Wiki helper module, featuring an 18-line function with a tangled composition of mathematical operations purely for replicating XCX's behaviour of turning doubles into floats.
We found that we were selling Gradivus, the Headless Emperor short by 5 HP (that's 0.000005%). Easy fix, right?
...Right?

A screenshot of the spawnpoints section of the Pebble Blatta page on Xeno Series Wiki. On one of the "Height" values is a rollover text box saying "0.1358 BLADE Towers above sea level".
Americans will use anything but the metric system.

The "Music by composer" category page on the Xeno Series Wiki. Besides the expected crowd - Yasunori Mitsuda, Yuki Kajiura, Manami Kiyota, and so on - there is a category of "Songs composed by King Henry VIII".

A screenshot of the Customer Survey Postcard of Xenosaga Outer File wiki page. One of the questions is "What motivated you to purchase this CD?", and a corresponding answer is "Because I am a fan of Director Takahashi".
Back in the days when you could simp for Takahashi via official channels.

Screenshot of the Core Chip wiki page, featuring a table of the core chips, their rank, and their naming schemes, with an associated explanation. Most of the ranks have a unique naming "series", but three exceptions stick out.
The core chips in Xenoblade 2 ALMOST fit a neat pattern based upon their naming schemes and rank.
Sadly, the Bronze Chip, Motor Chip, and Axion Chip didn't get the memo.
The main header of the "God" wiki page, featuring no fewer than 13 article icons.
Bonus: I think this page currently has the most article icons out of any page we use article icons on.

A screencap of the "God" Xeno Series Wiki page, showing different creation myths within Xenogears. The fourth one is of the Chu-Chu Wondrous Mambo god, who was struck by a red fireball in his sleep and became a star in the sky.
I rather like the Chu-Chu interpretation myself.

A screenshot of the "Birdbrain" wiki page. Its overview states: "Finch has forgotten what this skill can be used for. Maybe an unimportant Merc Mission or two, perhaps? There's got to be something else, right...?"

The table of contents for the "Script of Xenoblade Chronicles X/Chapter 13 (Act 1) wiki page, featuring headers titled (among other things) "Seeing Ghosts Scatter"/"As They Pour Out", "The Whole Universe Is Going To Die", and "And the Vita with the Piledriver into Noctilum".
We need headers to organise the script pages by cutscene, but Xenoblade X doesn't have official cutscene titles, so we just make them up.

xenoserieswiki.org/wiki/Megiddo_Launcher_Zig Fun fact: There are 319 different weapons in the various F-Wave series in-game. Fortunately, a lot of them are similar enough that we're able to condense them down to "only" 129 individual pages.

A screenshot of the "Drops" section of the Megiddo Launcher Zig wiki page. Six drop tables are shown, each of which is filled with 9 F-Wave weapons of various types.
