Fandom launched in 2016 and Wikia was fully phasing out from 2018 to 2021. I was wondering if we could move the template "Wikia" to "Fandom". | Fandom launched in 2016 and Wikia was fully phasing out from 2018 to 2021. I was wondering if we could move the template "Wikia" to "Fandom". | ||

I just saw that the <code><nowiki>[[wikia:c:<wiki>:<page>|<page/text>]]</nowiki></code> interwiki link has been fixed. That way, editors of the Super Mario Wiki who are also Fandom users will no longer be taken to the "Not a valid community" message, instead going to a page within a Fandom community. This time, you might be wondering whether or not how the template can be changed back to the interwiki template. There are four of the following options to choose from: | I just saw that the <code><nowiki>[[wikia:c:<wiki>:<page>|<page/text>]]</nowiki></code> interwiki link has been fixed.

#{{User|Koopa con Carne}} There may be multiple wiki forks on the same subject and in the same language, so having an option that allows one to differentiate between these forks seems preferable to me. (I switched my vote from Option #4 since that would entail removing the useful language parameter.) | #{{User|Koopa con Carne}} There may be multiple wiki forks on the same subject and in the same language, so having an option that allows one to differentiate between these forks seems preferable to me.

#{{User|Hewer}} Per KCC, I don't understand the benefit of the interwiki link that would seemingly just make the template more limited. | #{{User|Hewer}} Per KCC, I don't understand the benefit of the interwiki link that would seemingly just make the template more limited. | ||

:::Forgive me for asking because I'm not very good with code, but wouldn't that just change it from URL to an interwiki link? Again, Porple said Fandom's interwiki has had problems in the past.

::::The problem was already fixed one or more years ago.

:I'm abstaining from voting. Normally, I prefer interwiki linking (as can be seen with [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/65#Create interwiki link for RayWiki|this proposal]]), but the fact that with the current code for this template, it's somehow possible to link to ''two'' different Spanish SpongeBob wikis (even if one is ''extremely'' underdeveloped) | :I'm abstaining from voting.

Hey {{@|Porplemontage}} Fandom's interwiki link was already fixed one or more years ago to become more stable. Just as I researched, <code><nowiki>[[wikia:c:nintendo:Nintendo Video|Nintendo Video]]</nowiki></code> takes you {{plain link|[https://nintendo.fandom.com/wiki/Nintendo_Video here]}}. I think changing the URL back to Fandom's interwiki link would probably be a great idea, since that interwiki link was already fixed. {{User:GuntherBB/sig}} 12:45, March 22, 2024 (EDT) | Hey {{@|Porplemontage}} Fandom's interwiki link was already fixed one or more years ago to become more stable.

As has already been discussed, the two interwiki links go to bobesponja. Using the current template, we can differentiate between them. Using interwiki links, we cannot. If we switched the template to interwiki links, how would we link to {{fandom|l=es|spongebob|Stephen Hillenburg|es.spongebob:Stephen Hillenburg}}? Switching to interwiki cedes control of the URL destination from us to FANDOM. --{{User:Porplemontage/sig}} 13:26, March 22, 2024 (EDT) | As has already been discussed, the two interwiki links go to bobesponja.
