Wikipedia had a 180 degree change in its stance on works of fiction in the last decade.
Character pages were deleted in bulk even when they were properly sourced, individual episodes pages were all merged together.
Administrators and moderators are pushing all this stuff to Wikia/Fandom, the sister project that is riddled with advertisement, user tracking and bad design.

- ratww 7y agoNice find! I wonder if the people removing articles on fictional works are moving it to Wikia by themselves.
- ktpsns 7y agoInteresting, I forgot that Wikia was founded by Jimbo (Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fandom_(website) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fandom_(website) ). But I would no more call it a sister project of wikipedia. The official sister projects of Wikipedia are collected under the Wikimedia brand, see https://www.wikimedia.org/ https://www.wikimedia.org/
