Official Minecraft wiki editors so furious at Fandom's 'degraded' functionality and popups they're overwhelmingly voting to leave the site (www.pcgamer.com)

Here's hoping they migrate to wiki.gg as Terraria's contributors have a while ago.

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'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?

The original gamepedia wiki was perfect before they moved to fandom
