Why can't they replace the old pages with a link to the new page? Or otherwise remove the contents from the old site?

- yifanl 2y agoUsually attempts to advertise migration efforts on high visibility wikis away from Fandom will be deleted by Fandom staff.

- xnorswap 2y agoThat's considered vandalism of fandom, and probably rightly so. Could you imagine if someone declared a successor to wikipedia and edited all the pages to redirect? Sometimes you just have to put the effort into making the new better, and it's a hard long slog especially against a well funded incumbent. But like all problems in PoE, PoE2 will fix it. ;)
- cubefox 2y agoI mean the Wikipedia content arguably belongs more to the Wikipedia community than to the Wikimedia Foundation... Of course it is hardly possible to gain the approval of a majority of editors. > But like all problems in PoE, PoE2 will fix it. ;) Isn't that the game for which Sannikov came up with his new global illumination algorithm?

- Pikamander2 2y agoI tried adding some helpful links to the new Runescape wiki back when the split happened, and within a few hours Fandom had permabanned my decade-old account across their entire network. Not a huge loss, although it still feels like a bitter ending after I spent years sprucing up a bunch of their wikis.
