MediaWiki vs FANDOM opinions
Almost everyone thinks MediaWiki is a great alternative to FANDOM.

MediaWiki is server software that you would need to find a host for/run your own server whereas FANDOM does all the hosting for you and actually runs MediaWiki meaning it isn't really an alternative at all.

Just replace "fandom.com" with "breezewiki.com" to hugely reduce the load-time of any Fandom page. A life-saver.
