@Alelm: It seems to me that you haven't actually read my first post, I will invite you to do that again. The point you are misunderstanding is that the content you publish on any wiki is not yours. I understand that it requires time and effort, but no one can claim ownership of any page on Fandom and therefore you cannot demand such content to be taken down. Anyone can copy the content of a any wiki as long they give it proper credit, such is the nature of open wikis under CC-BY-SA, furthermore if the content is translated then it cannot be considered the original content anymore. I know that it seems counter-intuitive, but if someone could claim sole ownership of the content that they publish on a wiki, then it wouldn't be possible for multiple users to edit such content and that goes against the very nature of an open collaborative wiki project.

Then, by going to her site, we realized that she was stealing absolutely all of our images. You should know that my collaborator has invested money in a tool allowing to make screenshots. It also stole game sounds that we spent hours extracting.

It seems to me that this multimedia content that your are talking about was extracted from the game. If so, it's copyrighted material that belongs to the pulisher of the game and you can (probably) use it on your wiki under fair use. But, again, you cannot claim that it's yours. I understand that it took time and effort to be "extracted", but since it's not yours, you cannot forbid other people to re-use it or demand to be taken down (or remove it yourself on other wikis). You are not the author of such content, you merely publish it under fair use on your wiki and by doing so you made that content available for anyone which in turn they can use it under fair use like you do. This is what you are misunderstanding.

If you are forking your wiki I should remind you that you cannot delete the content of your wiki or redirect it/promote your new project (if it's hosted outside Fandom). If you wish to stop working on your Fandom wiki, it's sad to see you leave, but you have to simply abandon it. You cannot close it to favor your new project because as I stated before, you do not "own" the wiki. Simply leave the wiki up for adoption until someone else decides to continue your work. Doing otherwise is a ToU violation. But I would also stress that even if you move to another wiki host, the same points from before hold true: on virtually any wiki the content is always available under CC-BY-SA because otherwise it wouldn't be an open wiki, the only exception that I can think of is a wiki hosted on your personal server where you can decide which license to use. But the fact that you do not own the images/multimedia content extracted from the game is true regardless of where you move your project. You cannot demand those to be taken down if used by others, if anything the game publisher can demand you to remove that content and in that case you will have to comply.

@Everyone: since you are admins on your respective wikis, you can decide if and when ban people so you can ban each others or simply ignore each others.

@Arbiteras @Clara0408: rimane sempre valido il fatto che è estramemente controproducente avere due wiki sullo stesso argomento nella stessa lingua, ma se non riuscite a collaborare sulla stessa wiki c'è poco che posso fare. Se non riuscite a collaborare, semplicemente ignoratevi o bannatevi, a voi la scelta. Per questioni future potete sempre usare la wiki centrale come luogo neuto per comunicare. Tuttavia valgono le stesse cose che ho detto ad Alelm sulla "copia" dei contenti.
