Hi, Pretztea here, our new administrator @JennyferEvenye (who is also a Pou developer) and I talked about moving the wiki from Fandom, and therefore, Zakeh decided that they will try to move the Pou Wiki from Fandom
Why we want to move from Fandom?
The reason is simple, Fandom is filled with advertisements, even more when you are logged off and reading on mobile. The video below explains Fandom's issues with advertisements, notable wiki movings (such as the Minecraft Wiki, Pizza Tower Wiki, Hollow Knight Wiki, Zelda Wiki, etc.), and more:

Here we have some options, only choose one of them:
If you want us to host it on a wiki farm:
Miraheze - A wiki hosting service founded in 2015, it has over 8800 wikis as of today. The wiki designs are similar to Wikipedia's and has less advertisements.
Wiki.gg - Another wiki service similar to Fandom that was founded in 2022 with over 200 wikis mainly centered around video games. It has less advertisements, with the only disadvantage being a superior bar with Wiki.gg links, just like Fandom's lateral bar.
Wikidot - It is a wikifarm founded in 2006 known for hosting the SCP Foundation Wiki, it's disadvantage is the limit of file storage.
If you want an independent Pou Wiki:
MediaWIki - A wiki-creation software made by Wikimedia back in 2002 that is known for running Wikipedia, Fandom, and the other alternatives above, no advertisements in default.
We really want to see your thoughts in the replies section of this post.
MediaWiki - I think MediaWiki is the best option due to being ad-free and being used by many sites such as Wikipedia, it should be the best option to be honest.
This is my opinion, you should do it with this format by copypasting it.
The post will be locked on May 3
Thanks for reading
