Not a super fan of franchise itself, however congratulations are due to GTA wiki community for moving away from Fandom following others such as @MinecraftWikiEN or Warframe/LOL/Balatro/Hytale communities (all hosted by Weird Gloop).

GTA Wiki

The wiki about the Grand Theft Auto series that anyone can edit! As our purpose is to provide complete detailed information, some pages may contain spoilers.

To make some noise for the newly independent wikis, https://undertale.wiki as well as https://deltarune.wiki are now live. Congratulations on their successful fork from Fandom!

Even though the community vote on the fork ended just recently, the websites must have been prepared waaaaaay beforehand as they seem to be:
- completely independently hosted
- domain registered a year ago
- Discussions backend uses Discourse, which I don't think I've seen before on wikis?
- There are some kinks to iron out, but the fork seems to be pretty quality.

This was also some very quick reaction based on incoming Deltarune releases.

My utmost respect goes to KockaAdmiralac for leadership on this move.

Also a reminder of https://getindie.wiki/ existence, Undertale and Deltarune wikis will show up there as soon as the extension gets accepted in browser stores.

The Undertale Wiki

Gotta love the Undertale/Deltarune independent wiki advertisement on e621.

Also glad to see that Fandom community for Undertale is currently deciding whether to leave Fandom platform as well, voting led by someone who has been core Fandom contributor and someone I really respect. A bit sucks that it looks like the community will be split multiple ways though, Cyberpedia (from attached ad) seems to be hosted on @miraheze and unrelated to the Fandom fork.

So, how is it going #Fandom? Are you sure you want to continue recommending those gaming wikis as top wikis on your platform? It seems like none of the communities really want to be there...

Today another wiki from this list has forked, congratulations mtg.wiki community!

The biggest takeaway is that Fandom's biggest advantage and leverage over countless communities on their platform - Search Engine Optimization doesn't work as deterrent for wiki communities anymore.
Fandom cannot hold the communities hostage any longer.

Fandom Stars Wiki

Here's a screenshot leaked by a friend of the wiki community, a Fandom Star. Some of this seems concerning.

These questions are the questions that will be asked at the Fandom Stars-exclusive roundtable in a few days.

(Please don't disclose the identity of the leaker for their safety. There is currently an internal witch-hunt at Fandom.)

Whether you are an editor, a Minecraft player or a friend of indie web - you can help our wiki tremendously even by doing very little. There are multiple ways you could contribute to the success of our new wiki!

The next few months will define how our new Minecraft Wiki will develop and be used in the future, so let's look into how exactly you may help us ultimately help you too.

Boosting and sharing the toot thread is very appreciated.

#Minecraft #MinecraftWiki #fork #wiki #FandomFork

Hey Mastodon! We're officially choosing to fork away from #Fandom for a variety of reasons, including excessive #advertising, a bloated platform, the #Grimace / #McDonaldsWiki controversy, and general dissatisfaction with the UI, UX, and DevEx of Fandom's platform.

The administration of the wiki is currently discussing what comes next.

 Boosts are greatly appreciated; we do not have a lot of publicity.

Feed The Beast Wiki

I guess it's our turn.

For those who don't know, we are a wiki which aims to document as much modded Minecraft content as possible (FTB or not).

Feed The Beast has offered to host our wiki on their servers. This is good timing, as many of our editors have become dissatisfied with #Fandom in general.

Please see here to vote and get more context: https://ftb.fandom.com/wiki/Feed_The_Beast_Wiki:Centralized_discussion#Forking_from_Fandom

Boosts are very appreciated.
