So, I notice that when I search for deltarune related concepts on Google, it’s always the old Fandom wiki that shows up in search results, not the new wiki. That might be something of a problem if people keep getting sent to the old wiki’s outdated pages and never even find out about the new one.

You could try installing Indie Wiki Buddy to help omit the fandom sites wiki’s pages. Any other independent wikis are also gonna show up with it as well if they’ve already forked too.
Also, before I forget to mention it: you can also search “concept art” on the wikis itself, and you’d get redirected to that category!
It’s more of a general concern than about myself specifically.

I understand. We have to let other fans know about the fork and the above options. Because unfortunately, the fandom site does this to any forked wikis.

Maybe start including links to the new wiki on every page of the old one?
Perhaps like how we include spoiler warnings on every page?

Fun fact, when people tried to do that, THEY GOT BANNED FOR VANDALISM.

So basically, Fandom is like our abusive ex at this point?

Yall's. I never participated.
Fandom is our dumb older brother who tries everything in its power to murder us.
No that's how younger brothers are
No, just younger siblings in general
I’ve even gotten banned for removing plagiarism
So, how do we let people know?
Quite literally, talk to them! Bring it up in conversations or something. Share links to articles. Stuff like that.

If you share links to the new wiki on websites crawled by search engines (say, Reddit, online forums, or some other wiki), search engines notice that and rank the wiki higher. Fandom might not like it, but there are websites other than Fandom talking about Undertale or Deltarune.
But if you’re doing that, the most important thing is to be human – don’t just spam the link. It would be disruptive to add links where they aren’t relevant at all, and I definitely don’t want other websites to start treating us as a spam central. I used to answer people’s questions on Reddit by providing a short summary and linking to the relevant wiki page somewhere in that summary, but if the question was already answered or the link wasn’t relevant, I wouldn’t do it – it wouldn’t have helped the question asker, or the general community if I did.
