From what I understand, your wiki will lose some page views. How much and for how long is still up in the air, although the general consensus agrees that there will be a decrease. In general, we know that popularity puts you higher up on most search engines, so a change in URL will be perceived as being a different site, which could cause confusion to the general public.

I don't envy your wiki's position, but I doubt the the decline in page views will last forever, or be as grave as some say...though that doesn't make up for the error that is known as the name "FANDOM." Good luck to you, trail blazer.
