Gamepedia is a wiki site like Fandom, but focused specifically on games. Fandom bought it last year as part of their acquisition of Curse Media. (Yes, Fandom is the larger party.) Several gaming wikis had been jumping ship from Fandom to switch to Gamepedia for a number of reasons you can look up elsewhere online if you really want details.

This acquisition was likely to remove competition and to get a hold of the wiki setup that Gamepedia uses. I'm guessing there are some systems Gamepedia is using that they like better which is why they are removing some of the current options we have and trying to figure out how to integrate the two.

For some wikis on Fandom, this acquisition is a problem because now there are two wikis, possibly with separate staff, for the same game. For instance, the Warcraft wiki's team jumped off Fandom/Wikia years ago to move to Gamepedia, but it's not like the Warcraft wiki on Fandom was ever deleted, so thanks to the acquisition there are now two Warcraft wikis being hosted by the same company.

If you don't have a Gamepedia account, don't worry about it. Fandom is the larger entity and you'll keep on using your current account. But if you happen to be one of those people who have two accounts because you were active on both sites, eventually they'll be merged into a single account in some yet to be determined fashion.
