Tardis Wiki moves to new address

[Christopher]

I just saw it announced that the operators of the Tardis Wiki have "forked" it away from the Fandom network of wikis, for reasons explained here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/doctorwho/comments/1azxmrl/tardis_wiki_has_regenerated/

I am pleased to announce that Tardis Wiki has forked from Fandom! This means that we have a new website (https://tardis.wiki), separate from Fandom, but with all of the same articles and content that already exists. Being self-hosted will put us beyond the reach of Fandom's increasingly authoritarian tendencies when it comes to forcing undesired features and design changes on communities. Moreover, forking from Fandom gives us editors more control over the features the Wiki has enabled, and will mean less adverts and other intrusive elements for our readers! In fact, as we launch, we will be completely ad-free — and will aim to stay that way, subject to donations.

Whatever the wishes of the editing community, Fandom will not remove the old wiki. However, we expect it to end up being edited substantially less and so may fall behind on covering the latest releases, particularly for non-televised material. Therefore, if you would like to support the new wiki, we ask that you make a conscious effort to go there instead of Fandom. You can also help by sharing this announcement and changing any old links that you have pointing to Fandom's Tardis Wiki to instead point to the new wiki.

More at the link, and also on Twitter.

Again, the new wiki is here: https://tardis.wiki/wiki/Doctor_Who_Wiki

Glancing at it, it has a different page format and loads somewhat slowly for me, but all the content is there, and apparently that's where new content is more likely to be added.

I think the images are too many and too chunky, it was slow for me too.

I agree. If you open the images on the home page in a new tab they are all huge.

The page load is slow.

Hopefully they'll fix those issues in time.

Hope so. I use the site quite a bit.
