If they don't migrate to a wiki running on a Minecraft CPU virtual VPS, I riot.

I give my full support to this.
Fandom wikis are such bloated trash that I will always look elsewhere for info.
fandom wikis half the time are trash and redundant
I really hope that they do, Fandom is annoying as heck to use with the constant advertising and unnecessary sidebar that pops up a big window on mouseover etc. In fact, I hope all fandom wikis leave Fandom and migrate elsewhere.
Fandom is unusable garbage.
Runescape's fandom wiki has long been abandoned, and the SEO makes it horrible to constantly have to scroll passed it when looking for the official wiki results. I would vote that they get a time machine and never use Fandom in the first place. Barring that, I'm torn between my sticking with Fandom until it gets worse, and just cauterizing the wound and switching to wiki.gg now. wiki.gg has by far the least-intrusive ads (which I only really see on my phone when I somehow get shunted into Chrome).
I despise fandom, hope they do end up getting the hell outta there
MediaWiki is great but Git-based wiki are more distributable and easy to back up. A trustworthy platform taking care of infrastructure is all contributers like these look for
None of the git wikis I've seen had the same level of detail and customizability though
