First they left Reddit; now they're leaving Fandom. Do they believe they're too big to be overshadowed by Google algorithms?

Minecraft? It probably is.

Wikis don't really need too much SEO though. If there's one good wiki, chances are it'll pop up on the first page somewhere when you google "minecraft [game-specific term]". And from then on you know to use that wiki, and just go directly to their website instead of googling.

Terraria's wiki has been running independently of Famdom for a while now, so has Paradox's, Guild Wars 2's, etc etc.
