The Mystery of Eliot Moriarty's Odd Fandom Wiki Page

Have you ever wondered why Eliot's page on the RKDD Fandom Wiki is like that? Babbling about a clone project and whatnot?

Please bear with me, it's a bit of a lengthy explanation.

First of all, that's not the wiki anymore. The actual wiki can be found here.

The wiki moved to wiki.gg in December 2024 (I made a post about it here but not many have seen it orz).

I moved the wiki because Fandom Wiki is a shitshow of a site (nicely put; if you want to know more, you can check the Discussion post on the old wiki, or read this tumblr post I made (it's about another wiki I forked, but also about Fandom's general misdeeds)).

Because of Fandom Wiki's Forking Policy and their endless greed and disregard for their communities, the old wiki, unfortunately, cannot be deleted. The new wiki also cannot be advertised on the old wiki. (Fandom even removed a Discussion post where I posted the wiki's Discord server link because of that. Not even a trace of the deletion was left behind when there usually is one.)

In a failed attempt to get the wiki to be auto-deleted (which happens under specific conditions), I removed a lot of content from the old wiki. This was caught because of a software upgrade orz Fandom then restored the deleted content.

However, Fandom is staffed by a bunch of morons, and whoever oversaw the restoration process doesn't know anything about RKDD.

Hence, they restored old versions of pages and joke pages made for the wiki's annual April Fool's prank. (Even though these edits were reverted and the joke pages removed on April 2nd, more than half a year before the wiki forked! Eliot's page was, I'm pretty sure, edited afterwards too.) These idiots simply chose to restore the longest versions of pages and all pages/files that have ever been deleted without double-checking anything.

(There also restored the Timeline page which I started years ago, and deleted years ago too - during the run of the Tragic Cruise Case after Toto said he and Ron have only known each other for a year. Searching for "Thomas Moriarty" and "Lacie Moriarty" still redirect you to Toto's and Mofu's page respectively although they, too, were only there for the April Fool's prank. Images I uploaded and deleted after discarding a template idea several years ago were also restored. Etc.)

I've been the admin of the RKDD wiki since 2021. I wrote the majority of the articles. The editors who agreed to and supported the fork wrote the rest. None of us wants the Fandom Wiki to stay up, but, hey, the wiki gets maybe 1,000 views a day (on a good day; it's usually around 500 or under), and Fandom is just really desperate for money. Community values? They've never heard of them.

I am so sorry for the inconvenience. Readers are as important to a wiki as editors, and they fucked you over with this just as much as we were.

It would be lovely if you could use the new wiki. It actually gets maintained and updated. It also looks nicer and works better on desktop and mobile, and has less ads! (Installing the wiki.gg browser redirect helps too.)

And Eliot's page is perfectly normal as it should be (for 364 days a year).

TL;DR: The proper Ron Kamonohashi Wiki is on wiki.gg, not Fandom Wiki. Eliot's page is like that because Fandom's incompetent staff restored its April Fool's version.

I was looking at the deranged detective wiki and ended up on Elliot's page and I honestly hope someone decided to fuck around.

The latter would make me especially pissed off.

Classified information breach at the Ron Kamonohashi Wiki!

Like in the previous two years, there has been a security breach at the M. Family headquarters, and now, the wiki is polluted with classified information for a day!

Every page bearing this notice is affected, what a mess!

Ron Kamonohashi Wiki Migration/Fork

The RKDD Wiki has migrated/forked away from Fandom Wiki to wiki.gg! :D

This was done because of Fandom Wiki's history of abysmal choices and actions (i.a., their aggressive ads, AI features, censorship, involvement with the US Navy, sudden unannounced (or barely announced) policy changes, the Grimace incident in which McDonald's paid them money to, essentially, vandalise a wiki, generally disrespectful treatment of their users, etc. etc.). As Fandom Wiki will not better themselves anytime soon (if ever), the RKDD Wiki has left the platform.

However, the old RKDD Fandom Wiki still exists. Unlike any other wiki host, Fandom does not respect their communities and, thus, refuses to delete any wiki that has forked/migrated away from their site.

Therefore, it would be lovely if you could use the new wiki.gg from now on if you need to look up something as very visit on the new wiki helps push it up in the search results.

And while it may be tempting, please do not vandalise the old Fandom Wiki because, by doing so, you only give it engagement.

The old wiki also won't be updated anymore.

To support independent wikis, you can also add the Indie Wiki Buddy and wiki.gg redirect browser extensions. And if you want to help out the RKDD Wiki with edits, I would be happy to have you; and if not, any visit on the new wiki is support enough.

Thank you for reading!^^
