NetHack did this when Fandom was still called Wikia. Luckily, the new forked site won search engines over easily and nethackwiki.com easily comes on first results if you search for NetHack stuff.
Unlike NetHack, the Minecraft Fandom site is probably a lot more lucrative in ad revenue.
I randomly was checking on Fandom's wikipedia page and noticed: "On October 3, 2022, Fandom acquired GameSpot, Metacritic, TV Guide, GameFAQs, Giant Bomb, Cord Cutters News, and Comic Vine from Red Ventures."
I had no idea they've been collecting sites like infinity stones. I guess ads pay handsomely? Ugh.
