User blog comment:Craiglpalmer/Wikia is now Fandom powered by Wikia/@comment-1387259-20160926182101/@comment-20644-20160926185506

That couldn't be further from the truth. Without editors and content, there are no readers and there is no business. Rebranding to Fandom powered by Wikia doesn't diminish the core wiki contributors or wiki content. Instead, it recognizes that while wikis remain at the core of the Fandom platform, the ways in which you can contribute and consume content have evolved. After all, we now have Discussions and news and stories in addition to wikis. Each one compliments the other, and Fandom brings them together under one brand name.

I addressed this a bit more in an earlier comment, but basically the wiki experience is already really solid and editors know how to run their wikis. Discussions and news and stories are very new, so they require a lot more product attention right now. We're also doing something we haven't historically done before, which is focus a lot on the reader experience too, but we definitely don't want that to be mistaken for somehow ignoring the editor experience either. There's still more work to be done there, and there's work we're doing on the editor experience. We have a dedicated product team just for that.
