That said, I wonder how FANDOM really complies with these new rules. Does this mean they will actually start deleting wikis that are effectively abandoned (basically mostly spam vandalism targets) and have lots of data about or from EU citizens? We regularly delete dead/abandoned wikis. Just last week we deleted a significant number of wikis that had had no pageviews or edits in a while.

We comply with the GDPR by doing the following: Anonymising user data of EU residents on their request, providing a method by which EU users can decline cookies, and by providing a way for interested users to download their data. All of these options are scheduled to go live today.
