As for the Fanon wiki, I don't know what's become of them. I recall we had a war, ending with us cutting them off from the front page, but nothing else (I imagine people from Fanon also frequent Reddit and Tumblr). I was present for the Fanon revolution that occurred, when the bureaucrat was going out of control for no reason and they ousted her, and Thannufia created another fanon wiki in the meantime. I don't know how exactly it was resolved. We were only originally tied to the Fanon because the creator of both was connected(I want to say it was the same person, but Idr at this point), But at the time of separation, they had really inconsistent moderation(supposedly it was getting better, but idk either way),  they had an OC rating system that disregarded rules handed down by RT/Monty(like CNR) that was incredibly backlogged.

In the end the separation was basically us refusing to allow them to be a drag on our credibility while they "cleaned house", because we also realized that neither Wiki really needed the other(although in order to continue to run in dysfunction like nothing happened the Fanon may have needed us). Because of this, there are many in the Fanon who have hurt feelings from that, but in reality we did them a favor...

The only other things we could have done for them would have been becoming active in their community and essentially taking over moderation in some capacity, which would only have been far worse for everyone involved(at least until they got on track and ran out of backlog).
