@Thetravisnewton I already know that. But if they want that to be seen as "official", they'll have to try and get the Verified checkmark again, which could take a while. They could have just made a whole new Fandom account and tweeted about it from the previous Wikia account, which was called Wikia before anyway. All they did was rename the old account and make a new one under the same handle.
