The Minecraft wiki has been moved from Fandom to Minecraft.wiki
After several discussions, we are excited to announce that the Minecraft Wiki has now moved from Fandom to minecraft.wiki – all of the information about the game can now be found at the new location!
You're viewing a single thread.
ITT: people pretend to actually give a fuck about where a minecraft wiki is hosted just so they can join the rest of the crowds shitting on fandom (deserved)
How many of you commenters actually make frequent use of the wiki and aren’t just using this op to removed and moan. Can’t wait for Reddit 2.0 here on lemmy.
Edit: cool downvote brigade, the point remains, if you’re not using an adblocker that’s on you. And if you are, then you didn’t have an issue with fandom. There’s a million other wikis out there that were just as good if not better, and y’all know it.
You just want to shit on stuff like everyone else. Seems weird to me, so many other things to care about.
It’s the internet, the information issues everywhere. I’d rather give the dude with 100 views on YouTube a visit than any whack ass wiki site their traffic. (o_o)_/ sorry i guess
Whenever I'm playing minecraft, so each time after it gets an update. However I have uBlock Origin so I didn't even know it had ads
Appreciate your input, was targeting the handful of people on the comments who are using an article as an excuse to continue pointless negative removed
Wikis are Uber helpful, esp when you’re doing mod packs or they update game mechanics (mob spawning, I’m looking at you, ya cheeky fuck)
My main point here overall is that fandom wasn’t nearly as bad as everyone leads on and I’m sick and tired of negative echo chambers where people removed just to removed and claim that their venting is somehow equivalent to objective fact and not what it is: venting frustrations that extend far out of the reach of a fucking Minecraft wiki with some ads no worse than the most popular social media platforms.
I'm also confused by the odd replies in this thread. Four different people used a very specific and unique choice of words to describe Fandom that reeks of either fake accounts using copy/paste or they're real people echoing the exact words some influencer told them to believe. In either case it's not a genuine conversation going on here.
The alternatives I've seen multiple wikis move to from Fandom have all been better from my experience and that's a good thing. But shooting down Fandom because you're stuck in a bubble of fake comments or just hearing one opinion from a loud youtuber repeated over and over by their fans, it doesn't give us a real discussion or make any of us more informed on the topic. It's disappointing even if the end result is better wikis.

People are going to talk about what they want to talk about, do you really think you can change that?
Did you just now?
Nope!
You’ve got your answer then
I usually consult the wiki multiple times during any Minecraft session, and I have been frustrated with it ever since they moved to fandom. Back in the day it was a standalone wiki and then at some point after beta it was enshittified. So I'm super excited about this change because it is a huge QOL change to my Minecraft experience
May I ask what you were frustrated with Fandom about specifically?
intrusive ad popups and autoplaying video ads, though this was mitigated when i switched to a mobile browser with ad blocking capabilities
Yeah ads have gotten out of hand on a lot of websites I feel like.
Thank fuck for plugins and extensions for adblocking and script blocking
