RuneScape leaving that shithole website was the best thing to ever happen. Same with Terraria. Hope it works out.
Oh look, another social/collaborative site leaving its userbase pissed.
The Fandom wiki, while no longer having its existing editors, will continue to remain up without any indication that it’s moved, competing with and likely outranking the new wiki in Google search results due to Fandom’s high SEO.
Small but periodic destructive changes to articles already ported should solve this. The changes should be small enough to not look like vandalism, but remove meaningful info off the wiki.
I’m just surprised to hear that Fandom could get any worse.
I just opened it today to see what’s up and was greeted with a page-wide popup asking me if I was a child or an adult. I’m not sure what’s going on over there at this point.
Maybe block access to mature audience pages? Or disallow address to social features to minors? Or as the other user said, advertisements?
I know my state recently passed a law that requires identification of SM users to prevent exploitation of minors (not gonna work, but that’s the law), so maybe they’re trying to avoid lawsuits/shutdowns.
Why do they even want to know? What is the relevance for using it?
Probably targeted ads.
I’ve NEVER liked the Fandom hosted wikis because their platform is so fucking bad. I also tend to strongly dislike the Fextralife wikis, mostly because their Souls pages were full of wrong information, or lacking information at all.
But Fandom wiki… blegh, it’s like a full page ad with tiny holes for maybe having the info you need in the middle.Do not produce massive amounts of free content for a massive corporation. How many times do you all have to learn this lesson?
Can we really be said to have learned the lesson at all if we keep repeating the same mistake?
Yes goddammit, now let’s do it again
The original gamepedia wiki was perfect before they moved to fandom
Enshittification is merciless
