Often people get extremely off-put by donation buttons and unsure where their donations are going. I would like to be as transparent as possible so hopefully you can hear me out.
Will the wiki go down if no one donates?
No, this was built as a passion project to give a resource for the Pannithor community to use without being flooded with ads. Fandom wiki are often difficult to use on phones and desktop due to the increasing ad presence. This wiki has been hosted and built off my own saved up pennies and will continue to do so going foward. Donations will help futureproof the website and allow extra funds into boosting its efficiency and reach within the community.
Fandom wiki's are not like wikipedia and always run the risk of being shut down
Accidently Donated?
Message Wiki Dave at kingsofwarwiki@gmail.com and let him know, he will refund this ASAP.
