About the leadership thing, let's just say that I prefer the curated approach of Gamepedia. From what I understand, it's harder to create a wiki on Gamepedia and games often get a wiki from staff members or something. Isn't it? On Fandom, it seems like anyone can create a wiki, which isn't always good.

About democracy... Well... Let's just say that my first impression of wiki editing on Fandom was Death Stranding Wiki and it was bad. My first edit was deleted by an admin and it felt like there wasn't any specific place where editors could argue and plan together.

I'm an admin on Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey Wiki (Gamepedia) and I initially worked a lot to help people organize themselves and work together. I also worked on the merging of all the duplicates. As an admin, I would never delete someone's first edit without at least discussing with them, especially when the game has been release the same day... Unless I would want to kill the community.

In short, I don't appreciate Fandom because of this first impression, but also because there are too many differences between Fandom and Gamepedia. I have troubles finding what I want/need on Fandom. Yeah... I guess it's very subjective.
