MODERATORS
It's a wiki: user-made content. If you want to do it, go right ahead and do it. Nobody's stopping you. That being said, the people who have worked on it thus far have put a lot of work into making it function at Fandom. Getting the same functionality elsewhere would take a lot of work.
That shouldn't be difficult, they use MediaWiki (with a bunch of extensions, so it's a little more complicated than just installing MediaWiki, but it could be done).
Paying for the hosting, convincing the wiki maintainers to come over, convincing the community to use yours are the difficult parts.
Yeah I was recently part of the migration for the Star Trek Online wiki (going from sto.fandom.com -> stowiki.net).
We were lucky and had all of the active administrators come along with us, but there's still a handful of people editing the old wiki (not really a huge issue, tbh) but for us, the biggest issue is a SEO one - FANDOM's SEO machine is far, far, far better than any independent wiki can be.
Will also throw in and say I wouldn't expect host costs to be an issue: For our wiki the costs are about $50 a month, and via community donations we make $141 a month. Warframe is a significantly bigger game, so I don't think the host costs would be a problem.
I think the most annoying part of the migration was cleaning out all of FANDOM's proprietary gunk from our templates and such, though I don't think the Warframe wiki uses a ton of that stuff (e.g we used the FANDOM extension TippingOver for item tooltips, while the WF wiki uses a custom Lua script it'd seem).
