User blog comment:Craiglpalmer/Wikia is now Fandom powered by Wikia/@comment-27324770-20160926171645

I'm okay with the name change, but not so much to the name "Fandom." If anything, aren't these sites Wikias (or wikis) powered by fans (or a fandom)? Shouldn't it be the other way around if the word "fandom" has to be there? It's also a negative term to many, including me to some extent. Normally, when I hear "fandom," I think of the many Internet wars that have occurred between fandoms. Not a pretty thought.

One last question to ask about this: Is this supposed to be a way of separating further from Wikipedia? Wikia and Wikipedia sound similar, which implied it was like one helps the other or something like that. This is probably going to become best known as Fandom, not Fandom powered by Wikia, which is... Completely different.
