On Gamepedia, local admins can pretty much do whatever they want. They can add whichever sites they want and even allow transclusion. On Fandom, it is the complete opposite. Nothing gets added without Fandom's approval (and they are pretty stringent on what is "acceptable"). Even then, transclusion is never allowed (except from Community Central). Just curious, why is this? Do bad sources for transclusions open an easy avenue for DoS attacks? This is crosswiki transclusion, right? For crosswiki transclusion, the reason I've heard the most for it being only enabled on Community Central is that it's more server intensive than normal transclusion. There's a pretty good explanation of (what I think is) the current method here.
