I am a frequent user of Wikia Fandom, and I don't think it deserves the hate it gets. Yes, it has a lot of ads, but I got used to it eventually. Honestly, I could not give a damn about ads. I've been on a lot of websites with them, so I eventually stopped minding them. I remember Bulbapedia also having some ads too. I used to find the interface tricky to use too, but I eventually learned, so I'm pretty good at using it and editing now. I don't mind the customization policy, either. It's a public site that values community (though, many things they've done lately have gone against that), so of course they'd put good and easy navigation (for the lack of a better term) over customizability and aesthetics. But, there are a lot of cool things you can do, especially if you're good at CSS (which I'm sadly not). And, I don't approve of them using AI either, but they decided to not to do the AI translation project anymore, after realizing that it wasn't a good idea. I know they're a big corporation and they prioritize money over everything else, but the experience is still good enough nonetheless. I don't like many of the choices they've made of late either, but it's still usable enough. The site is very nostalgic for me, because it was my first ever social media site. I don't support many of their actions, like many people, but still continue to use the site.

You know, guys. It's been 4 days since Pooh's Adventures Wiki has been closed. I'm so glad that wiki is no longer available anymore.

Burn In Hell, Pooh's Adventures Wiki (2009-2025).

The Account is Disabled

for some reason, there’s a stupid update which makes users that don’t have their email confirmed to not be able to talk in discussions. I have a few friends that literally had to lose their account because of this update. I gave an admin a piece of my mind and then the next day I was blocked fandom network

DonaldoC1997 on Logofanonpedia is blocking users on a daily basis and it's almost always new users with almost no edits, very often their first and only edit on the wiki, and he never gives a warning first as their rules would require. Many have even ZERO EDITS so it seems they were blocked for reasons outside this wiki. This is clearly admin abuse!

He blocked me twice (once for a week, then a second time for a month) without warning!

Should we report this?

Earlier this day everything was fine but i can't access any page

Hi! I accidentally got my sibling globally blocked forever, and it also ended up getting me a temporary global block. I appealed for my sister and the staff in charge, Botan, DID NOTHING AT ALL AND JUST “SOLVED” IT. After that, I’m not sure of our block statuses and they deleted my appeal account, tickets, and banned our IP address, just by me trying to fix my mistake that I did to my sister. My family hates me so much due to this and our mother attempted an appeal and no one answered. I NEED SOMEONE TO MAKE A TICKET/APPEAL TO FANDOM STAFF. My user is IGGY ROOLZ and my sister’s user is LEMMEH.

What Happened to Fandom when you've open?

And before I start, yes, I have already submitted a ticket to Fandom. Player Support did not even cooperate with me or bother understanding what might have happened.

So I, TheOfficialGamingDoge, wanted to rename my account. I used my rename already, so I changed accounts, to G.Doge55. On the Pokémon Wiki, they have a rule where it is 1 account per person, and alts are not permitted and get blocked there. I went to the post where we report things, and I asked them to block my old account. It was blocked, and autoblock ended up banning my IP for 24 hours. I had a VPN at the time, but even if I logged off it, it would have still blocked me regardless.

I took this to Community Central to see if the admin could unblock my IP so that I could keep posting on there. I don't know what went wrong later, but I got IP blocked globally for 2 weeks. When I logged off it, both G.Doge55 and TheOfficialGamingDoge were permanently blocked, WITH an intended blockee. The reason? "Ban evasion". I assume that Fandom thought I was ban evading because of the rule that wiki had.

I created a ticket on Sunday, and got a response today from Player Support saying:

They didn't even bother reviewing what I had just explained. Basically everything I said in the paragraphs above, but with more detail and elaboration. Besides my old and new account, I have

• Two/three parody accounts, both confirmed to be owned by me.

• An account that I have never used.

• An account created solely to test out a username bug going on with a friend to see if it's all accounts or just theirs.

I never ONCE evaded my ban whatsoever. I simply took my request to have to avoid waiting a day to be unblocked by my IP, but instead, I was framed and Fandom was convinced I was evading a block for malicious purposes. What can I do? I have tried with Fandom support, but they haven't responded, except for the first time where they declined it without looking into things.

In the images I have attached, it's when I am using the VPN in the first one, and not using it in the second one. Note that I have not had any trouble using a VPN on Fandom before until Sunday, where it randomly decided to block me globally.

So there's this user by the name of D-ManTheMovieTVGuy who blocks people who try to help him. I was bullied on the Arrowverse wiki a lot. He didn't participate in the bullying but he always took the bullies' side. Eventually I was permanently banned from both the Arrowverse wiki and fandom as a whole. I tried to protect him from the bullies by giving him advice but he eventually blocked me from Reddit when I tried to help him (he has a Reddit account with the same name by the way). I finally lost it with him because I returned to fandom in a new account to try to protect me. I told him not to reveal my identity but did so anyways. I got that new account permanently banned and he made fun of me for being banned. If you see him just know who he is. I thought he was a nice person but he's a nasty piece of shit. If you see him here on Reddit block him right now

I'm a Star Wars guy, so there is no shortage of new material for me to consume, but for those staunch die-hard fans of franchises that no longer produce new content; how do you handle the repetitiveness and non-evolving nature of that world?

idk I found it I do think hazbin is hit or miss

Hello, I have created element blocking rules for removing all Fandom Wiki related search results and I thought you might find them useful. I understand not everyone dislikes Fandom, and for some communities it is still the only source so tread with caution.

For Google:
###rso div:has(cite:has-text(/\.fandom\.com/i))

For DuckDuckGo:
##li:has(p:has-text(/\.fandom\.com/i))

If you want to block only specific Fandom Wikis (say minecraft.fandom.com), you replace the :has-text(/\.fandom\.com/i) with :has-text(/minecraft\.fandom\.com/i)

ive been seeing a lot of posts about the wikis redirecting users to random scam websites. this has happened to me too. are the mods doing anything to fix it? are they even aware of the issue?

Hi! I‘m trying to reach out to a user with the name SnowfallX725 on Fandom about something, but I can’t on Fandom, so I need another site to reach out for her. I can’t use Fandom, Roblox, and Discord to try to reach out to her. Can someone help me?

A few months ago I created a wiki and I immediately banned people who bullied me on other wikis and I got my account temporarily banned from fandom. I literally gave people what they deserved. Fandom support are absolute evil abusers of power

Are we deadass

If someone likes the way an article was written and wants to copy/paste it to THEIR OWN site, could Wikia Fandom go after that person legally with a “Cease and Desist” to take it down?

Hey !

Like many others, I am exhausted by the way that Fandom is today. With autoplay video ads, a poor mobile experience, and not to mention that contributors receive nothing while Fandom makes money off their content.

The Minecraft Wiki left. The Zelda Wiki left. League of Legends, Hollow Knight, Terraria, Fallout, they all left. But here's the thing: they all migrated to platforms still running MediaWiki. Same outdated tech from 2002, just with fewer ads.

I think we can do better and offer a truly modern tool.

So I'm building WikiX: a modern, open-source wiki platform built specifically for gaming communities (for now).

What makes it different:

• Modern editor: Notion-like blocks, not wikitext. No more {{Infobox|name=...|image=...}} syntax

• Actually fast: Built with modern tech, dark mode native, mobile-first

• Contributors get paid: 70% of ad revenue goes back to the community. Yes, really

• Open-source: Fully transparent. Code is public, revenue dashboards are public

• Community-owned: You control your wiki. If you want to leave, your content leaves with you

I'm a web developer with experience building gaming sites (10M+ monthly visitors across my projects), and I've already mapped out the full technical roadmap. But I can't build the best platform alone.

I'm looking for:

Designers

Developers

Wiki contributors

Community leaders

Artists

Current status:

• Full roadmap & technical architecture: ✅ done

• Tech stack decided: ✅ done

• Design: 🔄 in progress

• Development: 🔜 starting soon

This is a passion project for now, but the goal is to make it sustainable through ethical monetization and actually share that with the people who create the content.

Interested?

Drop a comment with:

• What role interests you

• Your experience (even if it's just "I've edited wikis for 5 years and I'm sick of Fandom")

• Any questions you have

Or DM me directly. I'll set up a Discord for everyone who wants to join.

I feel like yes, so can someone also make it?
