A few years ago, Path of Exile migrated from the fandom to a new site. GGG (Path of Exile's company) even decided to host the new wiki on their servers (https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3292958)! At this point, the new wiki ranks higher then the old one, but for a time it was an issue. Interesting to see more cases of games wikis leaving Fandom with how horrible the site is, and hopefully this is just the beginning of a trend.

Fandom PoE still pollutes the top of Google searches :(

Just tested a bunch and it seems like `path of exile [skill/currency]` usually ranks the Fandom higher while `poe [skill/currency]` ranks the new wiki higher which is why I never noticed (I actually never noticed because I block the PoE Fandom and pin the new wiki on Kagi)

Consider switching to Kagi with its feature to personalize your results by biasing certain domains.

I've configured it to lower results from *.fandom.com and am really happy about it.

There is an extension which automatically redirects you from Fandom to the new wiki. While that's convenient it probably helps Fandom stay near the top.

And we just launched the wiki for PoE2 which GGG are hosting for the community.

I think you mean "we are about to launch", since there is no information about it anywhere ?

(I'm guessing it does technically exist online, but access to it is limited to closed beta players (under NDA) for now ?)
