User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/How we're testing the fandom.com domain migration/@comment-5774380-20181026134210

Don't you think that this new domain will draw users away in the search results? Anybody who searches for " wiki" and is met with a bunch of fandom.com results may not know that they're seeing the wiki pages they're looking for. Replacing a domain that had the word "wiki" in it for another that has "fandom" is a horrible idea in my opinion. It even gives the impression that it's a host for fan content (fanfiction, fanart, roleplay, etc); which is the total opposite of what people expect to find on wikis.

Readers don't come to wikis looking for fan content, they come looking for neutral encyclopedias with no fan bias. I don't get this obsession with selling the product as a host for fan material, but if anything I think you should keep both products separated (like Google and YouTube). The FANDOM brand may go well for your editorials but it's not what the wikis are supposed to be.

I know there's no point in complaining because you're not reversing your decision, but I don't see how this will be for the better. wikia.com was just perfect, and I wish you would listen to the opinions of the many people that hate this move (who're mainly your wiki editors).
