So at the moment we have a situation where a community reliant on a terrible, vandalised, unmoderated wiki. We decided it was time to create a new one with more tools and was just better overall, but started it with a new host, not affiliated with this site. We tried to migrate people over and they did but the old Fandom wiki stands at the top of Google results even as disfunctional as it is. So far many counts of plagiarism and similar from the new wiki have occured, and are the only quality content there.

I was looking into the chances of getting an official stop order on that wiki. The community as a whole is terrible, the site is getting spammed with garbage (220 new pages since the beginning of June, with many of them simply being something along the lines of 'yare yare daze'), and they are plagiarising content with no attribution with no consequences.

If anyone has experience with this sort of thing, what are the odds that Fandom staff would actually aid us into moving the community onto the new wiki, with a message on the currently locked home page, along with other measures to stop people backtracking content there?

Would the Fandom admins be completely against helping any sort of off-site venture, or would they sacrifice a terrible wiki for the good of the community?
