Well, as I understand it, technically  is sufficient, even preferred, in HTML 5.0, and wikia have officially switched to HTML 5.0. As far as I know, there's no actual difference between the two slash forms, , so there's no reason to correct between those. XHTML, which you'll not really encounter at Wikia, likes and several code editing platforms will autocomlete to that. I think even some aspects of pybot will make that correction, too, so you may find that my use of the bot will incidentally make this correction.

But for all practical purposes, given what browsers and HTML stripe that Wikia services,  is completely sufficient and there's no reason to "correct" it.
