does fandom prevent their wikis from mass-linking to the new wiki at the top of their pages?

Yes. They consider it a violation of their "forking policy"[1].

Fun(?) fact – Fandom put even more restrictions right after Minecraft Wiki moved[2]. Now it doesn't even allow wikis to put a banner on their main page saying that there's a forking discussion unless they contact Fandom support and get permission.
