Again, this video is the anon experience. Tough sh!t.

This Tough sh!t anon experience is what the 99% of the visitors of wowwiki (and every other wiki) get. Basically, the target audience of your edits. Of course they're free to seek the information somewhere else.

I don't like the anon experience either, but anons won't get Wikia's ear and anons won't stop vandalizing. Registered users need to put pressure on Wikia directly, even if they think Wikia isn't listening. Wikia is listening, but they need a tangible threat.

A better course of protest would be to get admins of major wikis to post banners or change wordmarks in protest of Wikia's horrible advertising experience. Anything short of that is likely to do nothing.
