User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/How we're testing the fandom.com domain migration/@comment-31957572-20181015003106/@comment-199.167.137.77-20181019182307

Not for all the "multi-level" domains like es.drama.wikia.com. The entire url has to change or they would have to buy hundreds of thousands of certificates for every double sub-domain that exists and every one that gets created in the future.

I'm not a big fan of the change but I understand why they're doing it and I support more security on the internet. I really don't care about the "branding" or marketing I only care that my wikis content doesn't get affected and people can find them.
