@Zambiealex: No, since not all of the former Wikia Stars are Fan Contributors. Community Council has absorbed all of the Stars and is now its own thing: just Community Council. The Fan Contributor program is another avenue for anyone on Wikia, whether they were a Star or not, to contribute to a Wikia platform. There are TONS more Fan Contributors than there were Wikia Stars, so the two aren't exactly equal. At least, that's how I understand it all.
