There are already alternatives to Fandom. I volunteer with Miraheze.org, which hosts wikis without all of the ads, has been up since 2015, and has recently become a US nonprofit. We're currently geared towards more technical users, but we're trying to make more tooling to simplify wiki administration as we've taken on more users.
I also hear wiki.gg is pretty good, but they're focused on gaming wikis. A lot of Fandom wikis jumped ship to them (of course Fandom is like Hotel California, you can check out any time you like but your wiki content will never come down).
Or just self-host, Mediawiki is pretty easy to setup, even for a large wiki.
I hear the folks running the Baldur’s Gate 3 wiki are doing so with a server that costs less than $20 a month and they’re hitting serious traffic numbers.

And Jimmy Wales' Fandom puts enough effort into SEO that combined with their size their version will likely appear in search results before the actually useful ad-free community run wiky :|
Yes, technically you'll also get a MediaWiki instance there, but the point is really to offer Wikibase (which is a set of extensions upon MediaWiki), the software behind Wikidata.
i put my email address to get notification when the film is edited. to my surprise, it's actually a project by MSCHF. a hypebeast shop? glad i use a throwaway email.
Kinda, as usual within Javaland, there's a lot of reflection involved into making annotated interfaces (a kinda of standard Java reasonably limited dsl capabilities) pop up as singletrons connecting to your database/OLAP/LDAP/REST-endpoints/websocket-clients/whatever.
Same thing for serialization things, you define interfaces, the actual classes often just pop into existence by generated bytecode.
It's also not unknown to bring JSP/EL (literally requires a Java Compiler embedded in your server to compile servlet objects for you on the fly) or some other, on purpose less fully featured template things with their own DSLs like Thymeleaf to do the same job.
Thing > CreativeWork > WebSite https://schema.org/WebSite ... scroll down to "Examples" and click the "JSON-LD" and/or "RDFa" tabs. (And if there isn't an example then go to the schema.org/ URL of a superClassOf (rdfs:subClassOf) of the rdfs:Class or rdfs:Property; there are many markup examples for CreativeWork and subtypes).
People that write articles like that never had that jerk friend that would connect to their LAN and arp flood to take over an IP or setup a pineapple to capture wifi then run a proxy to turn all their images upside down.
The way we run public certificates may have 100 holes in it, but the entire thing isn't open for easy attack for anyone that's clever enough to see and modify a packet to whatever they want.
