You realise deleting everybody's RuneScape gold von Rskingdoms Blog

                You realise deleting everybody's RuneScape gold userpage + especially signatures is gonna create even more redlinks? ?? KelseW (talk) 18:23, April 3, 2019 (UTC)

                    True, some links in user signatures will now be redlinks. However, there was a significant amount of redlinks on userpages. The user page deletion creates a number of new ones, but compared with the number it eliminates (and given that we eliminated script errors from a lot of improperly used infobox templates, among other benefits), it's not a bad trade-off.

        "When a community forks, Fandom does indeed remove anything that could harm the remaining wiki's chance of attracting a new community. That includes deleting ... debates about the fork"
        This is clearly inconsistent with how Wikia has treated forks in the past:

        None of these forum threads have been deleted. Every single one contains a link to the new wiki. --Kardashianfan224 (talk) 07:11, April 5, 2019 (UTC)

            These examples are years old and don't compare to the situation here. What we consider harmful to the remaining wiki after a fork depends on the case at hand. Mira Laime @fandom  (help forum | blog) 17:02, April 5, 2019 (UTC)

You talk about business sense and tenancy as if bytes on a page are nothing but dollars in your pocket and that there's nothing wrong with that attitude. You talk about mistakes made but not lessons learned and unsurprisingly have no real idea why everyone left other than the vague notion of something in the last couple of years. This wiki built up an enormous amount of goodwill in the community over more than a decade, and now that said goodwill has been capitalised upon, you're down to buy OSRS gold enabling random features in the hope that it might inject some life into what is otherwise a sunken ship.
