This idea could suit some wikis, such as the Football Wiki, where football fans can contribute, which is technically a fandom.

Some wikis, such as the Roblox Creepypasta Wiki, wouldn't suit the change as much, since it isn't really a "fandom", more of a story writing wiki.

It's good to hear that you will be attempting some solutions for wikis such as the Cancer Wiki where it has a sensitive topic and the purpose of the wiki is to educate users about that sensitive topic, not to create a fanbase for it.

However, having "wiki" in the domain name would imply the fact that wikis are wikipedias about certain topics, but having "fandom" in the domain name might make some users believe that these "wikis" are actually forums.
