It's probably safer to lower this one's ranking, rather than absolutely block it. There's more than a handful of things for which fandom.com is the correct result—the only actively-maintained wiki.
Trust the search engine to do the signal/noise calculations for you. You are no longer on Google. Kagi is your agent, not your adversary.

It can also redirect you to a community-run wiki if it exists. I found it through Libredirect which is the same idea but for more sites, but some of the alternative sites don't work as well in my experience.
