^ CrazypuppyT got it right. Gamepedia wouldn't necessarily exist if Fandom didn't force it, and now when Gamepedia merges with Fandom there'll just be another wiki platform made/hosted by someone.

Personally I still love Fandom, but there's no question about Fandom not being the ideal place.

The upgrade to a new version of MediaWiki ain't a problem by itself (the system's not bug-free, and web tech keeps advancing), but the new system being such a half-assed effort is really telling of the neglect MediaWiki has in for its Users, which is surprising.

^ At least Fandom is trying to improve the system, so we're not completely badly off.
