User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/Wiki domains will be changing from wikia.com to fandom.com in early 2019/@comment-1279279-20180825122046

It is the people who cannot be bothered to complain and just abandon ship who are the real issue. It was stated that there were only a few hundred people using Monobook when it was withdrawn - how many of those who actually preferred the layout used across much of the Wikiverse had actually left by then (and those who did not know of the Monobook option never joined)?

I am involved with several factual wikis which get a certain amount of 'passing through editors' (and communications etc) - commercial, genealogy etc. Why would these persons/organisations wish to be associated with xyz.fandom(wiki).com?

What is needed is a 'particular arrangement' for factual wikis and others where a 'more formal' name is preferable, useful or necessary.
