Hey gang! I'm Will and I'm new on the Gaming Community Team here on Fandom, coming in from Gamepedia team as a result of the Curse acquistion. Wanted to discuss what we can do to help improve the situation. Cheers. [[User:MisterWoodhouse|MisterWoodhouse]] ([[User talk:MisterWoodhouse|talk]]) 16:53, March 11, 2019 (UTC) |

:I dislike being blunt, but one thing that ''can'' be made better is if Fandom allowed communities to leave its ecosystem and supported their decisions to migrate, say by allowing wikis to be redirected, and not simply buying out companies that are hosting wikis that have left so they can be [[w:User blog:Mira Laime/Update on our plans to bring Gamepedia and Fandom together|reintegrated into the ecosystem]].

:: I am in a pretty unique position to speak to this, having come over in the acquisition. Many of the identified Crossover games so far indicate that they wish to have the combined community reside on Gamepedia. While it's now part of the ecosystem, it's operating as normal, with community-focused improvement on the horizon. Part of what's happening with the company right now is that we're evaluating past mistakes and moving forward with this community-first focus.
