This is a common thing with most publishing platforms - it is slightly less popular content, but books and lifestyle wikis still bring in a fair and steady fraction of the community. Even visual media like manga have really large fanbases that should be promoted.

I think that for wikis - there's little to change unless there is something large. I think affiliate footers for different wikis have a large impact, the Animanga footer is the one I would go to, where those users interested can easily get a season selection of recent anime and manga. Similarly, the Fandom Spotlights are great for niche groups to grab random visitors from all wikis.

As for the Fandom brand - I think it's just growing, and still in its starting phase. It has the capacity of bringing a larger audience to those smaller communities that enjoy books, poetry and literature, and I agree that there should be a better balance between mainstream topics that get clicks and smaller topics that still deserve some spotlights. (Or even, a curated fandom.com/books section like the others have for those fans.)
