A recent editorial piece on Siliconera discusses how Fandom wikis have become difficult to use due to various website issues. The author notes that accessing these pages on mobile devices or laptops often causes hardware to overheat or slow down severely.
The article highlights several design problems on Fandom pages, including aggressive pop-up advertisements, sidebars promoting unrelated wiki pages, incorrect AI-generated answers, and cluttered layouts. Consequently, popular wikis for games like Terraria and Hollow Knight have migrated to alternative self-hosted platforms.
Despite the rise of alternative platforms, Fandom's aggressive search engine optimization push makes finding these non-Fandom sites through Google difficult. As a result, the author has occasionally turned to GameFAQs guides as an alternative, though certain media assets remain hard to find.
