Add a redirect from the Adventure Quest Worlds Fandom wiki to the Wikidot wiki.
The Wikidot wiki is incredibly active and has far better coverage than the Fandom wiki. It's also officially endorsed by the game developers, even being linked from the game's website (at the bottom of the list in the "Game" dropdown).
This redirect is now possible due to #738. This is probably the most active, high-quality wiki on Wikidot — other than the SCP Wikis (which are creative writing wikis rather than encyclopedia wikis). It's also probably the only one that is going to be possible to redirect to, as it's the only one I've come across that uses the
search:mainsearch frontend. (The default Wikidot search function has been broken for several years now, so most Wikidot wikis do not have a search function that IWB can use. SCP Wikis usesearch:crom, which doesn't appear to have a way to interact by just manipulating the URL, which is what would be ideal for IWB.)The one caveat is that the wiki appears to be HTTP-only. Some Wikidot wikis do support HTTPS (including the SCP Wikis I've checked, although I've seen smaller Wikidot wikis support it too), so I'm not sure why AQW specifically does not support it. However, I think in this case, given the sheer difference in quality between the Fandom and Wikidot sites, it's worth making an exception in this case.
