What you call straying, we'd call evolving. The nature of the internet has changed, and what fans want to do online has changed with it. We've evolved from being a simple wiki host to being the largest entertainment fan site in the world. As a result, the experience we offer fans has evolved as well. It's not just editing anymore. Wikis are still in the center of it, but we also have Fandom news and stories where fans can share their own unique perspectives about pop culture, as well as Discussions where they can converse with other fans.
