It's a not-so-open secret that a lot of wikia wikis are not only vandalised but encouraged to be vandalised as to make people move off them.

Vandalism on Fandom wikis is counter-productive. It just makes it look more active, to both users and search engines, and so will in turn make it harder for people to find the independent wiki. The best thing to do is just to ignore abandoned Fandom wikis entirely.

I can understand the urge and frustration level.

Just wish there was a more centralized / good alternative to promote rather than just wrecking fandom.
