Corporate-owned wikis have ads and other issues, so fans have decided to go their own way

I really cannot stand fandom sites. It always lacks content so pages are filled with useless information such as links to review sites. Also, it’s an atrocious experience on mobile.

The number of CSS hacks needed to make the site anything but obnoxious even on desktop is obscene. Not just the ads, but the constant pushing of unrelated content and wikis, popovers, auto-play videos... it's awful.

Yea, half of my custom rules in Ublock is all for Fandom.

Content is all on the people contributing to the wiki, it's not Fandom's problem.

The shite experience though, totally is Fandom's.

If there’s a current existing wiki for a game but it’s a fandom then I don’t even try to contribute.
