Calling all people who love DOTA and know how to code

The bad news:

Fandom has recently announced that they will be retiring the old wiki themes (https://imgur.com/a/IhxlFSh), abruptly turning the dota 2 wiki from its old lovely self to new, horrendous form (examples: https://imgur.com/a/5xLs4Rg) (note added comments to images at bottom)

The good news:
Fandom doesnt exactly provide its own custom wiki software. All it does it host Mediawiki code, and so porting wikis out of fandom and onto hosted website is not as hard as it might be (although not a walk in the park for sure) (recent success stories would be the runescape and osrs wikis, plus others)

The Ugly news:

I'm not a core dota 2 wiki maintainer, nor a particularly proficient webdev. So i'm not offering or demanding this be done; and don't have any authority behind this suggestion; but I think it's something that should be seriously considered given the direction fandom is going; which I can only presume will get worse and worse (just read this corporate branding nonsense drivel).

So hey, what do you think? I have asked the actual dota 2 wiki core maintainers about this, incidentally, via the discord; but it does seem somewhat dead.
