They don't mention this, but Minecraft isn't the first to abandon the shitty fandom.com platform. Zelda wiki left Fandom last fall, the Star Trek Online wiki jumped ship in February (sorry for the Reddit link, there's no article on STO), and the Fallout wiki left too. Evidently there are more game wikis that got fed up with Fandom and set up shop somewhere else, but there's no press on that, at least that I could find. It's definitely part of a trend, and people need to aware of that.

Edit: others have commented about the exodus of other game wikis. Yep, definitely a trend that isn't being reported
