Official Minecraft wiki editors so furious at Fandom's 'degraded' functionality and popups they're overwhelmingly voting to leave the site (www.pcgamer.com)

Here's hoping they migrate to wiki.gg as Terraria's contributors have a while ago.

I'm surprised Microsoft hasn't forced some Teams/SharePoint mandate on them

This isn't about Mojang. This is about a wiki that is mostly maintained by fans but endorsed by Mojang as the official wiki. If MS tries to force some bullshit Teams or SP solution via Mojang and official branding, the fans will likely abandon it in favor of an unofficial one not hogtied to some BS MS ecosystem.

*used to be endorsed by Mojang. About a year ago Mojang said it's no longer official. Presumably because of Fandom. See https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Minecraft_Wiki:Community_portal/Microsoft_status_update

Knowing it would be bad for fans and abandoned never stopped MS from trying before

Maybe in the past, but these days they are pushing hard to get people to use their stuff and to keep using it. They're not google who throw shit at the wall and see what sticks...
