To dig into the terminology a little bit, this actually isn't a wiki. Everything on Wikia up until this point has been wiki-based, but this isn't. This is a brand new type of website for Wikia that expands our multimedia platform with an editorial-based entertainment site. That's why we simply call it Fandom, rather than Fandom Wiki.
