      All too common within attention economy for people to go for the more popular choice.
      Search engine algorithms tend to make things even worse.

      But there are games out there that might not even have wikis if Fandom didn’t make the barrier of entry so low.

        What games are so small as to not be capable of generating a non fandom wiki, but are large enough that the wiki is not completely empty and factually incorrect?

              The problem is that the content is already in wiki fandom and there are no contributors invested/interested enough to migrate all the information to alternative wiki. These fandom wikis have no teams just random individuals making contributions of various sizes.

              If I do ever get invested enough to a game to actually create a wiki I’ll definately use something else than fandom.

                  Quoting what I said in earlier reply:

                  Neither of these where completely empty when I found them. Been updating them and filling some gaps in the wiki for the fun of it.

                  I have not created any wikis myself I’ve just contributed to few that I’ve found which unfortunately have been hosted on fandom.
