Hey Craig. I have a research paper published on the wiki of the university I went to: http://utpb.wikia.com/wiki/UTPB_Wiki Rebranding the university's wiki (which was built at direction of the literary chair) as a "Fandom" from a Wikia will lessen its academic import. Where I was previously able to reference the paper in my resume/CV, having a "Fandom" site for an academic reference is not going to fly. Do this, and UT will no longer recommend its students to publish, nor its academic societies (i.e. ACS, ANS, etc.) to post with a site labeled a fandom. Is there no other category that will prevent alienating academic and scientific uses of what no longer be Wikia? Fandoms aren't the only users of Wikias and there must be something you can offer academics to port their pages away from Wikia to, in order for authors and editors like me to keep a level of legitimacy and integrity for its publishing students. So, what do you suggest?
