Hi there. I’ll reply to the Wikia/Wikipedia point, but let’s move on from this once I do. It’s not really a topic needed for this blog. :)

Wikia was co-founded by the co-founder of Wikipedia, yes, but we are not affiliated with Wikipedia. That’s an important distinction. A few other points: some wikis are about one subject, though you could create a wiki on more than one if you wanted to. It could be encyclopedic, advocacy, etc. We do have a Community Development Team at Wikia as well.
