 * Sounds like a question for answers.wikia.com :) Well, there is no way to make that sure... the only help you may find are the Hubs on Central Wikia, as far as I know. Marc-Philipp   (Talk)  ~ Geschichten ~ 11:50, February 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * I was about to say Look for the blue box pages but whoops! they don't exist now. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 19:48, February 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Searching for the main name used from the corp wiki search might help to the find it. Also going to the New Wikis page and searching by name "should" find all wikis on the subject, the one at the bottom of the list will be the oldest and probably the correct one(check the spelling of the DOT.wikia and site name also).   If you're looking for anime there is a manual list here.  And to add to Ciencia's point, the staff could export all the blue box pages and categories to an unused wiki like "dir.wikia.com" and turn the createwikiscript on for that wiki, then the mess wouldn't be here on central.--Sxerks 22:06, February 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Generally the main wiki on a topic is the one at the most obvious URL, so the largest Pokemon wiki would be the one at pokemon.wikia.com rather than pokemon2.wikia.com or mybestpokemons.wikia.com for example. You can also try searching for the topic in Google where their page rank system will usually show you the most popular wiki first. Here's an example of a search for pokemon site:wikia.com.
