User blog:Holroy/Wikia joins forces with Gamepedia

I'm not sure if you've heard the news, but Fandom/Wikia is joining forces with Gamepedia. That is, Fandom has bought Curse Media which owns Gamepedia. This means changes are bound to happen to wikis which are present on both platforms.

Two wikis undergoing changes
Two examples have so far been given on what might happen to wiki's on the respective sites:


 * Encyclopedia Gamia (from Fandom) is moved to Gamicus
 * In this case Encyclopedia Gamia had forked fully to Gamepedia, so nothing was left on Fandom, and it'll continue to live on as a gamepedia site.


 * Diep.io@gamepedia is moved to diep.io@wikia
 * Here the gamepedia version was abandoneed, whilst there was an active community and substantial content on Fandom.

Future of minecraftbedrock.wikia.com
So, what does this mean for this site? Nothing has been said so far, to my knowledge, but let me speculate a little bit. There are at least three sites to take into consideration:


 * minecraft.gamepedia.com
 * By many considered the official wiki site for Minecraft. It has loads of activity, and a strong community of editors. It does have a slight focus towards java edition, as that was were it origined.


 * minecraft.wikia.com
 * Another Wikia site, like this one, but also with a focus on Java. Not sure about the community size, or activity level, but not as large or updated as gamepedia.


 * minecraftbedrock.wikia.com
 * This site, where the editor base it slim, to say the least, and we're lagging behind in multiple areas. However, we're the only one of these kind of dedicated to bedrock. This hasn't been utilised though, as we don't actually describe the true differences and changed done in bedrock. (For example redstone, piston timings, no quasi-connectivity, and other differences in blocks and structures and game mechanics)

Where does this comparison leave us then? I think, we (and the other Wikia Minecraft) are going to be redirected into the gamepedia site some time in the future. I don't think we have any information not already presented at gamepedia, and we're not unique enough to keep on living as a separate site.
