@GameHub What does it mean "it is more like Wikipedia than Fandom"? It's a site where you can create wikis!

Miraheze is not a big corporation shoving a billion of ads into pages and making lots of questionable decisions that impacted even the most avid users of FANDOM. It is far more customizable, although not without a slight learning curve for those used to some of the convenient features in FANDOM's visual editor.

Comments about MediaWiki as a Alternative to FANDOM
Most users think MediaWiki is a great FANDOM alternative.

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.
