I already warned this was going to happen. FANDOOM is stuck in MediaWiki 1.19, the site is slow, and they are implementing features outside of the wiki engine.

FANDOOM may turn our wikis in wordpress sites where the only editor is a Visual/WYSIWYG/html editor, converting all pages to plain html. This is cheaper to maintain and consumes less resources from the server since it doesn't need to parse wikitext to HTML (just serve the HTML directly). Lucy is the first step/experiment into this direction.
