No one ever said that all wikis are becoming fandoms. In fact, FANDOM has been adamant that wikis will remain to be wikis.

The term 'wiki' isn't solely exclusive to Wikia. Wikis were around long before Wikia and they'll remain to be around under FANDOM.

As for "greedy old FANDOM," you do realize that, at the end of the day, FANDOM is a business, correct? By that very definition, FANDOM's end goal is to make money. Would you rather them not make any money and be forced to lay off most, if not all of their employees and work solely voluntary basis, thus resulting in the entire system (not just the Editorial and Discussions) suffering severe issues over time that can only be resolved by paid employees?

Yes, FANDOM's ultimate goal is to make money, but that doesn't mean that they don't care about us. If they truly didn't, they would 1. Close Community Central. 2. Eliminate all ways for us to communicate with them. 3. At the very least, they would not tell us about changes that they are making.

You say that FANDOM doesn't listen to us before making changes, yet you ignore the fact that FANDOM did listen to Community Council and put this update on hold until they have refined it.

May I point out FANDOM's Terms of Use, the Terms of Use you probably agreed on when you created an account?

"We may update and change our Service from time to time to reflect changes to our products, our users' needs, and our business priorities. We will try to give you reasonable notice of any major changes."
