Community Central:Wikia, Inc.

Wikia, Inc. was founded by Jimmy Wales in 2004. Originally a project to create a search engine, Wikia expanded in October 2004 when Angela Beesley and Jimmy Wales founded Wikicities, with the aim of creating freely hosted wiki communities. In February 2005, the Wikia search engine became a project of Wikicities. Further expansion in 2005 saw the acquisition of Memory Alpha, a large Star Trek wiki, in February, and Uncyclopedia, a parody site, in May. In October 2005, Kennisnet launched the first of their Wikia-hosted Dutch educational wikis.
