Now, I would have stayed at Wikia for its great visual editor UI, but now I can be sure that the migration (or forking, I dunno) is a correct move.
The main reason is I've been pretty angry with the fact that Fandom staff posts irrelevant videos in pages about Booster Packs (see the [[CIBR|Circuit Break]] page for an example; and the quality is horrible to say the least, video content is inconsistent with the page's text). Also editors do not get to pick what video is going to be featured on said pages.
Another issue I've had with Fandom is that (again, with the videos) their staff made the appears on top of the page. This makes the user have to scroll down to actually read the info they want. Sure, a video is
a great tool for acquiring information, but when it's
misused, it can be a disaster.

I have been wanting this move since January of 2017, specifically when I saw [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Tedgill/Making_Ads_Better:_How_We%27re_Going_to_Do_It this 1 Fandom/Wikia staff blog post]. "''High-impact direct ads, like banner ads with video, are the standard in the ad industry. They are also how we will be able to improve the overall ad experience on Fandom.''" No thank you. In the blog post, they admit that they know some ("'''''SOME'''''" >_> ) users will dislike it, but that since other websites are doing it, '''''it's fine'''''.<br /><br />Since then, you may have seen "special" pop-up videos that appear for some articles, such as [[Mekk-Knight]]. Note the incorrect pronunciation ("LIGHT '''Physic''' monster") and the already-outdated term "Jack-Knights". This indicates that quality is not their primary concern here, just potential ad-revenue from the videos. If you are an editor, you may have ads disabled in your preferences, meaning you won't be able to see the long ads that appear in front of these videos for the many-more casual viewers who browse this wiki. Note that Wikia/Fandom '''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfCImejdbng literally stole a Youtuber's video content]''' to accommodate the slow-paced, info-hollow dialogue that can already easily be read on the "Mekk-Knight" article page.
Anything to get rid of those irritating videos, I can't turn those off or block them with addons somehow. As long as this doesn't come at the cost of content and quality at the very least.

I don't like the state of yugipedia now.
I was a contributor in wikia (now known as Fandom) but since few years ago their format isn't mobile friendly to Iphone or Blackberry to I switch to yugipedia. In wikia, text on level 2 or higher is hidden and cannot be shown on those devices.
On cards name, wikia follow ygorg translation religiously, even keep suggesting name change if ygorg make an update 1 month later.
Decline in wikia can be observed by the lack of update on new set/creation of new card page. Yugipedia make new card article on the same day the card is revealed. Documentation of this can be seen in dpygo's video description.
But recently wikia formatting creep into card. I hope their staff don't get position among yugipedia. Their moderation is untransparent and they denounce ocg ruling even though there is no other alternatives.

: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)
Whoa, I know I'm not that active for an admin anymore but I never thought I'd be dead-last to learn about this. After reviewing the arguments, I have to say... I'm a decided "unsure." The ads are annoying, yes, and FANDOM's practices seem rather scummy in some cases, but I really am concerned about losing viewership, since the common internet-goer won't know that the site has been forked and that it's actually the NEW one that's being run by the original staff. The new one would face a MASSIVE uphill battle due to this.

The server blows. Literally can't load the website half the time, and when I do, it takes a good minute to load the page (My connection isn't the best, but it's definitely above average, given where I am at the moment). For someone who very frequently uses the Yugioh wiki just to scroll through cards, this is hilariously upsetting.--[[User:Sergey Volkov 13|Sergey Volkov 13]] ([[User talk:Sergey Volkov 13|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Sergey Volkov 13|contribs]]) 15:56, February 23, 2018 (UTC)
