→Discussion: Commenting on Cqm's and Zustel's posts.
In addition to that, Featured Videos has apparently been a catastrophy in multiple instances and advertising has seemingly become worse over the years despite claims that improvements are coming (did they ever arrive?). I left the council after becoming frustrated with how genuine concerns were ignored when it didn't align with the current direction of a given project, so I'm not surprised this is a the second large wiki to be having this discussion in the past few months.

:Yes, those examples let me know they can easily do that. And despite Wikia's claims that it was an accident, looking at how things have gotten worse to me and to several other users over time, at this point, nothing guarantees me Wikia won't do something like that, whether on PIs or page content (I've spotted some CSS classes with weird suggestive names). That's a risk I'm not willing to take. One could argue they could do that already; they could, indeed, with other types of infoboxes. But with PIs, in the end, everything will be more structured and standardized, everywhere; it'd be easy to alter everything as they want. <span class="nowrap">[[User:Becasita|Becasita]] <sup><small>Pendulum</small></sup></span> <span class="nowrap">([[User talk:Becasita|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Becasita|contribs]])</span> 23:42, January 7, 2018 (UTC)
I'm rather new to this wiki (joined last summer), but since then quite active. I really like working on the wiki and gathering and compiling data and information about the cards. About 2 years ago I've started working on the [http://yugioh-wiki.de german YGO Wiki]. It still has this old Wikipedia design, which really distastes me, and only a couple active editors, so it takes a long time until all the card and set pages for the new releases have been created. That's why I've moved to this wiki. I like the Wikia design (at least in the desktop version, I don't use the mobile, but I know how awful it is) and I like how they standardized their wikis. It makes browsing in different wikis more convenient.<br />I usually have my adblocker disabled on most pages across the web to support the team that hosts the page. Except for the totally unrelated poorly made autoplay video ads on some pages with high traffic, that annoyingly stick to the side of your screen when you scroll down (kinda reminds me of the ads on adult pages...), there wasn't much that bothered me since I've joined here.<br />I'm rather skeptical regarding the fork. I've always been a supporter of centralized and standardized data and there is nothing I dislike more than doing the same work twice or expending useless effort.<br />If it should come to the fork I'll probably first watch how the new wiki and how this wiki develop after the team behind it split and if the new wikis design appeals to me and then decide if I stay here or join the new one.<br />To me it's most important to have one complete YGO database. It doesn't have to be the most popular, as long as it's the best. [[User:Zustel|Zustel]] ([[User talk:Zustel|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Zustel|contribs]]) 12:10, January 5, 2018 (UTC)
:I concur with Zustel. Especially concerning the "Wikipedia design" and duplicity issues. --[[User:AzureKesil|AzureKesil]] ([[User talk:AzureKesil|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/AzureKesil|contribs]]) 01:07, January 6, 2018 (UTC)
:I can understand your points. Especially the one about centralized data, excluding the personal tastes ones, of course, since those are about personal taste.
:By moving to the new wiki, you'd just have to edit there; not there and here :p

=== Question before move? ===
Hi Guys, LeafGreen Ranger here, I would before a move to be better for mobile and such, but I have a few questions that I would like answered before I make my decision, first of all, I'm a very on top of everything at times, got a job and very busy, so Tables, CSS, mean nothing to me in terms of what they are to me, but here is my biggest concern what will happen to Yugiohprices.com, they get all their data from us, and I use them to make good listings on eBay, will they be left behind as this wikia crumbles or will they move and use the new fork edition? thank you--[[User:LeafGreen Ranger|LeafGreen Ranger]] ([[User talk:LeafGreen Ranger|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/LeafGreen Ranger|contribs]]) 05:43, January 7, 2018 (UTC)
:I'll be forwarding this to people that could eventually more easily get in touch with YGO prices. But the idea is to move everyone with us. With the support of the [http://ygorganization.com/ YGOrganization], we have a chance to achieve that ([https://www.reddit.com/r/yugioh/comments/7ngcgq/possible_new_yugioh_wiki_ran_by_ygorganization/ reddit] is changing already). <span class="nowrap">[[User:Becasita|Becasita]] <sup><small>Pendulum</small></sup></span> <span class="nowrap">([[User talk:Becasita|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Becasita|contribs]])</span> 23:42, January 7, 2018 (UTC)
