Attention: Wikia.com migrating to to Fandom.com
1819 Posts	Link to post - Posted January 18th 2019 at 7:11 AM Flybaby * Note to Devs: Could you please sticky this post? * Excerpts from Wikia: Attention: Over the next few weeks, we are migrating your community's domain to fandom.com. In October 2018, Fandom began the process of migrating wikia.com domains to fandom.com. This process is expected to be completed in early February 2019. The only visible differences you will notice is the new URL and the fact that, whether logged in or logged out, the domain will have HTTPS support. Why are the domains changing? Wikia rebranded to Fandom in October 2016. The domain migration will complete that process. From an SEO perspective, having the brand name and the domain name be the same ensures stronger SEO across the platform. Google search favors sites that clearly define themselves as something specific. In this case thatâ€™s Fandom, a community site based largely around pop culture topics.

1819 Posts	Link to post - Posted January 25th 2019 at 4:53 AM Last Edited January 25th 2019 at 7:12 AM Flybaby The migration to fandom.com is complete. Everything looks the same as usual. And, the name of the site is still "Bushwhacker2 Wiki." As phagras mentioned, you will be automatically redirected to your favorite bookmarks. If you're searching for anything in particular, just click on the "Bushwhacker World" and "Popular Pages" links on the green banner at the top of the page. Or use the search bar (on the Fandom black bar) at the top of the page.

I looked up several things for myself and to share in chat in the past 24 hours - so I used various sections and worked as well as ever. Thanks again for all your hard work!
