Official Minecraft wiki editors so furious at Fandom's 'degraded' functionality and popups they're overwhelmingly voting to leave the site (www.pcgamer.com)

For anyone who wants to avoid fandom: https://getindie.wiki/

Redirects any fandom wiki to their Indie alternative which are in most cases the only ones actually being updated.

For every wiki where that isn't possible because they only exist on fandom, it redirects them to alternative frontends, which remove all the fandom crap.

libredirect also supports fandom, and other services

I have also used that in the past, but when I did it only redirected fandom to BreezeWiki and not the other independent wiki.

For example, Indie Wiki Buddy does this, while libredirect didn't: oldschoolrunescape.fandom.com -> oldschool.runescape.wiki

And it still doesn't say it does that. Am I wrong with that? Cause I'd definitely use libredirect if that was the case.

for me is this: old School RuneScape Wiki has its own website separate from Fandom. Read Main Page on Old School RuneScape Wiki →

The Old School RuneScape Wiki was founded on February 14, 2013. In October 2018, the RuneScape Wiki left Fandom (then Wikia), citing their apathy towards the wiki and excessive advertisements, with the Old School RuneScape Wiki following suit.

This wiki's core community has wholly migrated away from Fandom. You should go to Old School RuneScape Wiki now!

I know that. And Indie Wiki Buddy redirects to the new wiki, while libredirect doesn't.

I used ORS as an example. The same goes for most wikis I personally use. Path of exile, Terraria, etc. all have migrated to new wikis and Indie Wiki Buddy redirects all links from the old fandom pages to the new wikis.
