Hello there, i have a suggestion. I think all Fandom Wikis such as TTTE Wiki (https://ttte.fandom.com/wiki/Thomas_the_Tank_Engine_Wiki), Sonic News Network Wiki (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_News_Network), Scoobypedia (https://scoobydoo.fandom.com/wiki/Scoobypedia), The Flintstones Wiki (https://flintstones.fandom.com/wiki/The_Flintstones) and all others should be upgraded to MediaWiki just like Super Mario Wiki (https://www.mariowiki.com/) and Hanna-Barbera Wiki (https://hanna-barberawiki.com) both have, among others. What are your thoughts about that? |
