Browser extension
I added a mention to the browser extension to redirect users to independent wikis outside of Fandom. However, because of a lack of reliable secondary sources, so the edit was reverted. I leave the paragraph here for the future, in case new sources appear and it may be included again:


 * To facilitate the transition, a browser extension was developed to automatically redirect users to independent wikis instead of Fandom wikis. The extension seems to be supported by different migrated wikis.

Fandom's April Fools Jokes
Today, April fools 2024, every picture is upside-down. So can you list all the April Fools jokes that Fandom made?? 2607:FEA8:DA0:3F00:28A6:628A:5851:2F26 (talk) 18:58, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * That sounds like a prank that took place on a specific Fandom wiki, not side-wide. Regardless, coverage of any Fandom April Fool's jokes requires coverage in reliable, independent sources. ~ Super  Hamster  Talk Contribs 20:25, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 19 July 2024
In December 2022 Fandom began a migration from MW 1.37 to MW 1.39 that concluded in May 2023. Reference: https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Help:Update_to_MediaWiki_1.39

I'd suggest the following update.

Change: "As of October 2022, Fandom uses a heavily modified version[65] of MediaWiki software, based on the version 1.37.6 of MediaWiki.[66]" to "As of May 2023, Fandom uses a heavily modified version[65] of MediaWiki software, based on the version 1.39 of MediaWiki.[66]"

Please note the omission of the patch number in version - so 1.39 rather than 1.39.7 - this changes too rapidly to track well. Slayful (talk) 15:44, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
