Is there an up to date item database outside of the game?

I've found 2 out-of-game item databases but both are outdated. wiki.eveonline.com appears to be quite old, possibly a few years old by now. games.chruker.dk/eve_online/ is better but still has information that I know is inaccurate. Are there any other item databases which are kept up to date?

the eve wiki is done by a spider ... I think ... or at least it has the new modules they've added (old stuff is old though)

though ~CCP~

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

Some modules are entirely missing from what I can tell. For example, does it have any pages for Micro Jump Drives? I can't find any.

EveMon is always up to date.
But it is a Tool, not a Website.

You do know the basics behind wiki pages.

People can make / change pages...

I must be missing something then. When I try to edit an item page all I get is a blank text box. I don't see where I can modify things like the item's name, its fitting requirements, its attributes, etc.

That's a lore page, I mean a page for the in game module. As far as I can tell there is none.

Most killboards should be aware of the recent database changes, since they need to know of them to properly display kills. They aren't really friendly for browsing for items, though. I cannot find any website that does this which is up to date, either, unfortunately.

Rummaging in the Eve database is always a little bit of an adventure, and developers seem to want to put it off as much as possible, if possible. Your best bet is probably a piece of downloaded software as suggested above.

I don't know what the process is for updating the Eve wiki with all the current items, or what is holding it back, but I will try to poke my superiors about it.
