It was originally an independent Wiki along with a bunch of other Nintendo-related ones, but at some point, it joined Gamepedia, another Wiki farm. Then, Gamepedia was bought by Fandom, and now ZeldaWiki is officially part of the Fandom "family".

Fandom is trash. Supposedly, they've been trying to buy Bulbapedia for years; I can only hope that that never happens.

Fandom is what Wikia used to be called, right? Yeah, I lost all respect for Fandom when they erased the Pokemon Clover page.

Yep. In fact, I actually originally wrote "Wikia" here where "Fandom" is before remembering their name-change.

Fextralife sucks too, with their insistence on putting some random Twitch stream on every page.

I think Fandom makes all of its decisions based on what would anger its users the most.

Yeah. I miss the old format. Looked a lot cleaner and formal. Plus it was easier to navigate.

They made a big layout change that affects everything recently, giant sidebars with nothing in them that squeeze and mess up the actual pages. Oh, and you have to click a sidebar on the top left to get a search bar that pops up in the middle of the screen.

Aside from this, I know most people use AdBlock, but I never bothered with it on my phone until I started using the Witcher wiki to play the second game. The ads rendered the site basically unsuable.

That explains why I keep seeing Fandom pop-up. I didn't even know it existed till recently when I saw some wikis were now part of it.

This, except with a few more expletives.

This, but it was pretty lousy even before it, full of ads and unrelated videos automatically playing at the top of each page.
