User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/How we're testing the fandom.com domain migration/@comment-5041453-20181008015743

The domain migration will have positives and negatives, BUT in my opinion there will be a lot of negatives than positives. First of all, wikis that are literally not about big topics (like games, users, logos, etc.) will be affected by this, so do you think that a Logo Fandom like Klasky Csupo Fandom (as an example), or a "Usavictor" Fandom makes sense? It doesn't really make sense. Wikis that aren't meant to be titled "Fandoms" should not be titled as a fandom (although you may have a way to change this). Second, the word fandom can be a questionable thing on the internet, as many fandoms are toxic, but others are not as toxic as others. Especially with these wikis, they will become more questionable and problematic once the fandom domain change happens. If you remember the first change of when wikia started to become Fandom and began showing Fandom articles, people were not liking this. Third, adding a word fandom to a topic can affect a lot about what it means. Going back to the first example, a usavictor fandom is about the people or group of people who show an empathy of a certain person named usavictor, while originally a usavictor wikia was just about an encyclopedia to do with the phrase or person/username called usavictor. Building on the first reason, if the word fandom has to do with people showing empathy for a certain thing, it makes a lot of controversy about people liking things that could be very sensitive to some people, and some wikis may just not make sense. There are some positives like spreading fandom to wiki domain to make it more popular, but then again, the negatives make more sense about the important parts of the domain change. Wikis will still be called wikis though, but the domain name will make it more questionable.
