User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/Wiki domains will be changing from wikia.com to fandom.com in early 2019/@comment-29943340-20180816181055/@comment-20644-20180816203034

How you view the word Wikia and FANDOM is ultimately up to you, but Wikia was always the name of the business. It is, in fact, still FANDOM's corporate parent company. Wikis are a platform and there are tools on it, but Wikia was and is just as much a brand and company as FANDOM is.

With that said, we also are looking at ways of unifying different user bases so the site isn't as disconnected as it is now. There are too many different access points and contribution methods on the site.
