Yeah, I'm thinking the same. There's really no benifit to having "home of the fandom" there, and all it seems to be doing is associating Wikia with fan-made, uncredible information verses actual facts.

I think it would be a better idea to move it out of immediate sight, like under the "Explore Wikia" dropdown menu. Or really even another button similar to the "Games, Movies, TV" buttons would be better.

Even if it isn't negative, people still don't necessarily want to look at fandom stuff. And having "home of the fandom" next to your logo generates a vibe of "this is our main purpose", which in most cases, it isn't. And to someone unfamiliar with Wikia looking for facts, that isn't really a good thing.

It's definitely not much of a big deal though. I'm sure most new users wouldn't even notice it, let alone care, but I'm sure some would. And don't get me wrong either, I think the fandom thing is a great idea, but it needs to be separate, so Wikis that aren't fandoms don't get associated with non-canon content.
