"The plan is that they are called wikis. There are no plans to change that."

I've heard that before. "You may have noticed that, over the past year, Wikia has officially begun using the word "wikia" in place of "wiki." [...] We're not going to change this branding, so feedback like "go back to using wiki instead of wikia" isn't something we're going to act on, but we do want to hear whether you want to use it or not."

- Brandon Rhea, Wikia: So Much More Than a Wiki, 2014-11-10

Back then, you didn't even use the cop-out phrasing "there are no plans", you outright said that you were not going to change back from "wikia" to "wiki". Yet in 2016, you did.

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if the word "wiki" is nowhere to be found in 2020. It also wouldn't surprise me if mediawiki was gone and the entire site was visual-editor only, like that horrible "Lucy" experiment you did.
