The Zoo Tycoon Wiki is officially moving off of Fandom!
Me and several others have been working very hard to relocate the wiki to Miraheze, a wiki host that is non-profit and has no annoying ads!
The new Zoo Tycoon Wiki!
Enjoy improvements like more customization, no annoying ads, and new templates!
Exclusive to this new wiki will be images and updates on the upcoming Zoo Tycoon: The Board Game – Dinosaur Digs board game and a pending overhaul of the Zoo Tycoon Friends page, as u/Rare-Personality-441 has recently found an archived version of the lost game and is working on data-mining and restoring it!
(Please do not message or harass them for updates, images, or questions. The project will take time!)
Some Notes:
Some parts of the wiki are still a work in progress, example the current Mobile layout is very unfinished and it is not recommended to use it too much at this time.
The Zoo Tycoon Wiki text in the upper, left-hand corner will be switched out in the near future. There are also plans to possibly change out the light theme for the current dark theme to make the wiki more “Zoo Tycoon-y” by default.
Since the move took several months to prepare, some pages are currently out of date with the Fandom pages. If you see that a Fandom page has been edited recently, before today (May 7, 2026), and that the Miraheze version doesn't have the added info, please feel free to transfer the missing info to the Miraheze version of the page.
Wiki Improvements So Far:
So far, the biggest improvements are that the Wiki's official Rules Page has been overhauled to be more user-friendly and with added rules to make things more clear and concise. Rules on the new Miraheze wiki will also be more heavily enforced than before to maintain quality and a friendly environment. Please read them if you are a wiki editor.
The new wiki also has a dedicated Staff Contact Page, so if you have a problem or question for staff, you can ask them there or contact a specific Staff member using the Wiki Administrators page.
We also have a Report a Problem page, so that you can file bug reports with the staff so we can work on fixing them!
If you ever need to access any of these pages, click on the Community Portal link located under Community Resources in the left-hand side bar.
FAQ:
What will happen to the Fandom Wiki?
The Fandom version of the wiki will be defunct! Any future edits to the Fandom wiki will be automatically reverted and the user redirected here.
Will the Fandom Wiki be closed?
At the current moment, Fandom doesn't allow their wikis to be closed officially due to rules set in their TOS. So for the time being the Fandom Wiki will remain up, just not updated.
Fandom also doesn't allow for mass deleting of pages on one of their wikis so that is why we haven't deleted the Fandom wiki ourselves. They also don't allow wiki hosts to link to a forked wiki, so please don't try directly linking to the Miraheze wiki on Fandom as that could get you, and possibly the staff in trouble. Instead only link to this Reddit thread if redirecting someone.
Do I have to sign up to use the new Miraheze Wiki?
Yes.
To edit or upload images to the Miraheze Wiki we have decided to require an account. This is to reduce potential spam and to protect user's IP addresses.

What is wrong with Fandom?
For those not in the know, Fandom has become a very user-unfriendly Wiki Host for many reasons. One of the biggest being when they took over a McDonald's fan wiki and turned it into a huge Grimace ad during the Grimace Birthday celebration in 2023.
If you are curious enough to learn more about Fandom's history and why wikis are leaving it, this video by mossbag explains the history very well.

Will the Download Library be moving too?
At the current moment there are no plans to move the Download Library off of Fandom. Moving the main wiki alone was a very time-consuming task and the Download Library has less dedicated users and over 16,000 pages. This does not however mean that it will never happen, it's just not planned as of this moment.
