Browser extension[edit]

I added a mention to the browser extension to redirect users to independent wikis outside of Fandom. However, because of a lack of reliable secondary sources, so the edit was reverted. I leave the paragraph here for the future, in case new sources appear and it may be included again:

To facilitate the transition, a browser extension was developed^[1] to automatically redirect users to independent wikis instead of Fandom wikis. The extension seems to be supported by different migrated wikis.^[2]^[3]^[4]

Fandom's April Fools Jokes[edit]

Today, April fools 2024, every picture is upside-down. So can you list all the April Fools jokes that Fandom made?? 2607:FEA8:DA0:3F00:28A6:628A:5851:2F26 (talk) 18:58, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds like a prank that took place on a specific Fandom wiki, not side-wide. Regardless, coverage of any Fandom April Fool's jokes requires coverage in reliable, independent sources. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 20:25, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

EDIT request[edit]
