I oppose this, for a bunch of reasons.


 * Who/whom makes sure the "official" articles both written to a good enough standard and valid? It's unlikely that Wikia staff will have enough information to vouch for the accuracy of the articles.
 * Will this make normal contributions to regular wikis less valuable or worthy than "official" ones?
 * What happens if a contributor refuses to write an article?
 * Isn't almost everyone who contributes to a wiki a fan contributor? Why would anyone waste time contributing to a wiki since nobody is paid to do so.
 * How does anyone verify that the applicants are indeed "experts" on the subject they claim to be "experts" on?
