Rainverse WikiWhen Rainverse Wiki left Fandom, Fandom maintained an abandoned copy of the former Rain Wiki. On August 10, that copy was vandalized with transphobia. Since there were no active admins, no one in the community could ban the vandal. A few days later, Fandom responded to the vandalism by closing their copy of Rain Wiki. 30 days later, Fandom has now deleted their copy of the wiki from their servers.
While transphobic vandalism is bad, the wiki's deletion from Fandom is good. Fandom is still using the text of wikis to "train" a procedural bullshit-generator, and inserting their procedurally-generated bullshit into articles. Now that Fandom deleted Rain Wiki from their site, it will not be used for that purpose. Aside from the ethics, our wiki is of substantially higher quality even before Fandom's was vandalized. We have more than twice as many articles, and our articles are more detailed.
Google, Bing, and Yandex still have cached versions of Rain Fandom Wiki, including some vandalized pages. You can hide those results from searches by installing the browser extension Indie Wiki Buddy, maintained by @kevin . The extension redirects you from Fandom wikis to equivalent ethically-hosted wikis. If no independent wiki is known, it can redirect to BreezeWiki, a privacy-respecting proxy for Fandom. It also has the option to hide Fandom results from searches.
Fandom is still hosting a copy of My Impossible Soulmate Wiki. That wiki has had no edits since May. We also have more than five times as many articles just about MIS. Unlike the now-deleted Rain Fandom Wiki, the MIS Fandom Wiki does have a semi-active bureaucrat. Though we recommend our wiki over the Fandom version, we hold no animosity towards the bureaucrat of the Fandom MIS wiki, and we ask that you do not vandalize his wiki and create more work for him.

Quick Answers
This is a limited feature currently in beta testing. Only a few wikis will have it available during this period. Quick Answers is a new feature available on Fandom that formats information from wiki pages into a Q&A (Questions & Answers) that appears as a module on the page itโs based on. These...
Talya (she/her) ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธโก๏ธoh hell yeah, Tardis Wiki moved off of #Wikia!
go give them some love and promote them before Wikia tries to bury them.

Tardis:Forking announcement
We are pleased to announce that Tardis Wiki has forked from Fandom. This means that we have a new website (https://tardis.wiki), separate from Fandom, but with all of the same articles and content that already exists. Being self-hosted will put us beyond the reach of Fandom's increasingly authoritarian tendencies when it comes to forcing undesired features and design changes on communities. Moreover, forking from Fandom gives us editors more control over the features the Wiki has enabled, and will mean less adverts and other intrusive elements for our readers! In fact, as we launch, we will be completely ad-free โ and will aim to stay that way, subject to donations.

Stop using Fandom
ColinThis is something I've kinda noticed in the background as well, but it's been a lower priority nuisance to me than the #enshitification of YT/Google/Discord.
