User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/Wiki domains will be changing from wikia.com to fandom.com in early 2019/@comment-27094037-20180816113853

Note: This is just my opinion. Nothing to hate about.

Well, I would like to say that making this decision will highly impact a lot of wikis. I can say that Wikia is still overall better domain. Why? Let's look at it's meaning. Wikia is a collaborative group of users where they can make articles on unlimited array of topics. Wikia is overall professional, informative, and of course, neat for a domain. Fandom, on the other hand, is a "fanbase" community where users can also edit articles.

Well, what makes me sad that Fandom is just highly directed on entertainment and does not really fit on other topics, let's say World War II. Another sad thing is that some "non-entertainment" wiki admins may thought that it will be a disrespect. Why? On some sensitive topics like example, diseases. A casual user may search diseases and see a wiki called "diseases.fandom.com". The person would definitely be discouraged because of the sad "fandom" domain. Another thing to note: this decision is '''HIGHLY DISRESPECTFUL TO WIKIS ABOUT SENSITIVE TOPICS. '''

To conclude this, I always thought Wikia is better as domain because like I said before, it's universal, professional, respective, and neat domain name, compared to "Fandom" which is I think '''entertainment-only, and disrespecting to other non-fanbase wikis. '''Just my cents here.
