I don't like how this rebrand sounds like it's supposed to make anything about Wikia any better. It's the same stuff only after more money came into the site(s).

... Isn't the rebranding also something that the Wikia staff have traditionally told us NOT to do as admins? It's a sudden change to the Wikia sites without heavily consulting the people who use it most. I'd definitely consult my community to accept a full rename of our wiki, it wouldn't be as easy as flipping a switch.

Wikia, as a brand, is already pretty well-known, so it sounds like a rebranding that doesn't need to be done... unless... changes that are even more extreme will be happening to Wikia; maybe enough changes that Fandom could become unrecognizable from what Wikia is now.

That last idea alone scares the piss out of me and I'd like to know that isn't happening.
