Am I allowed to ask Fandom support about some accounts that I suspect are sockpuppets in a wiki I’m admin on?

For context, there have been a total of 12 of these accounts. They behave and talk in an identical tone, participate in drama despite apparent inactivity, complimenting each other’s views and attacking the person on the other “side” of the drama.

This claim had been pure speculation until today when I unexpectedly saw a message from Fandom staff: three of these accounts belong to the same person. So my question would be about the other 8 or 9 that have been g-blocked/disabled (likely by Fandom) around new year’s time.

Hello,

I'm an admin over at Hytale.Fandom.com.

We've been an active wiki since 2018 and are garnering over 150,000 page views per day since the release on January 13th, 2026.

Our entire wiki was just randomly closed. Nobody can access it.

This is extremely disruptive to the community as a whole.

Please advise.

Here again after weeks of fighting against this person who keeps making new accounts to make chatgpt edits on my wiki. They add so much senseless stuff to the articles I can’t keep the count. I swear I can’t say if it’s an actual person or just a bot, their edits are so weird and random and they do nothing to hide it, each time the edits are weirder and weirder. I think they don’t even understand the wiki’s language. I just ignore them and ban them everytime but they keep coming back, it’s becoming exhausting honestly. I even tried blocking the IP but to no avail. Any suggestions?

I have an old account with multiple blocks from over years ago. I’m wondering if the blocks pass on to me even though I have changed? Would these blocks count in the likely hypothetical I try to adopt a wiki?

Also, the account has been disabled more than 90 days ago, so I can’t go back to it nor can I ask FANDOM Staff to help reinstate it. Said blocks are justified but the conflicts have long been solved. I am not naming the account nor wikis I was blocked on for my own privacy..

Thanks for the help (if there is any)

I just reached 50 so I’m wondering how many I need / how long it will take to show up in search engines

Hi, few days ago, I found 2 duplicate wikis about buses in London. Both of them are inactive and have no recent edits whatsoever, and one of them (created in 2011) is even older than the main wiki (created in 2014). Since there are only articles about routes in those duplicate wikis, I don't need to import them to the main wiki, as the articles about routes in the main wiki have extensive information of them. I just need to upload the remaining images to the main wiki, and then credit the original uploader. I have already contacted Fandom support to close these wikis.

The link of the main wiki

https://bus-routes-in-london.fandom.com

Here the link of 2 duplicate wikis that have already been closed.

https://buses-routes-in-london.fandom.com

https://busesinlondon.fandom.com

(both of these links have been redirected to the main wiki)

However, yesterday, when I was searching for more bus wikis, there are another 2 duplicate wikis of the same topic. Both of them respectively even have more pages than these last 2 combined. I have to yet look at the pages to see if there is something valuable to import to the main wiki, and I am not done uploading the remaining images to the main wiki.

https://london-bus-routes.fandom.com

https://londonbuses.fandom.com

can we make wikis based on video game mods? I'm planning to make on based on Robot 64 mods and I really want to know if it falls under the duplicate rule

So I own this small wiki, I tried doing a test announcement (it did not work) and this happens with any major announcement is there a way to solve this?

hey guys!

i’m an active editor on the forsaken wiki. there’s a possible coordinated raid/vandalism threat going around targeting multiple fandom wikis. a list of wikis was posted externally with a claimed attack date later this month. same group has made fake threats before, but we’d rather report it early than wait for something bad to happen.

we’re already talking about defensive measures on our wikis, but wanted to give staff a heads up in case monitoring or preventative action is needed. we can provide screenshots/links if helpful.

thanks for checking this out!!!!!!!

Hi all,

I am inquiring regarding the CC-BY-SA license.

I see that almost every page on wikis generally have the footnote "Community content is available under CC-BY-SA unless otherwise noted.".

In mid-2020 on Adopt Me! Wiki (here), I've created a wiki application system that intakes user applications, provides a pre-filled template for applicants to fill, and controls an application environment through different application phases.

I've adapted this application system design to Grow a Garden Wiki (here).

If I am interpretting this correctly, CC-BY-SA requires the person who is reusing the content to attribute me via...

1. A link to or URL of the original article;

2. A link to or URL of a stable copy of the article; or

3. A list of all the contributing authors

Do I need to attribute my own work I imported to another wiki I administrate?

Additionally other wikis that I do not have any elevated rights or have no interaction like The Forge Wiki (here) have used my creation of the applicaion system but have not attributed the application system design. Are they required to attribute my work per CC-BY-SA?

Hi, I am about to adopt a wiki which I have been editing for 5 consective days, according to the system. However, few days before the consective editing task, I did edit the wiki at large amounts for 2 days straight, so it doesn't count the consective editing period. Would my request be declined simply I only edited for 5 days straight and won't count edits from other days?

There are three different wikis for the Cat Quest series, one for each game, what would be the best way to consolidate all of that? Make a new wiki, or start moving things from the sequel wikis over to the Cat Quest wiki?

None of them are very active, and I think having it all in one space would make it easier for new fans or people just interested in the story of the world.

So, I just created a Wiki, and, in the discussions area, you know that box that says 'welcome to the community' on the right? well, under that box, I want to change the text... (Ex: for the Community Central, the entire paragraph saying "Looking for help or advice..." and after.)

I honestly don't know how to change it (if it can be changed)

Please help:)

Stay Safe

Peace Out
