User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/Wiki domains will be changing from wikia.com to fandom.com in early 2019/@comment-1905698-20180815192538

Yeah... I very much dislike this. "FANDOM" is already non-descriptive of the site's main purpose, which is being an encyclopedia. If I saw a  link I would completely expect it to be some off-shoot low quality wiki for some other site (you know how subreddits and IGN have their own wikis), and in fact I wouldn't expect it to be a wiki link at all were it not for the   part  inb4 it's changed to   in a few years.

I also haven't seen anyone embrace the name FANDOM, in fact most people I still see referring it to as Wikia. You could argue that's confirmation bias, but I would say the same to the people on the other end.
