The decision to migrate to a self-hosted MediaWiki instance was made on January 17, 2023 as a result of general dissatisfaction with Fandom among the Our World of Text administrators and its community. The migration was also made shortly after user JunoTehPlanet made a Wikipedia article on OWOT.[2]
