Forum:Who owns names of wikis?

Wikipedia's comparison of wiki farms mentioned Wikia domains, names and identifiers owned by Wikia Inc, not the respective communities. However, I couldn't find this policy anywhere in Wikia. Can anyone help me to point this out?--澤田弘樹Freely I fly 04:49, 21 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Why would it need a policy page ? Aside from moving an existing wiki to Wikia, all URL are in the form [language.]name.wikia.com and wikia.com IS owned by Wikia. — TulipVorlax 06:12, 21 January 2008 (UTC)


 * My question is: is name also owned by Wikia?--澤田弘樹Freely I fly 14:33, 21 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, certainly. It's only a subdomain. Greetings Tomsen (talk) 17:38, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Wait ! I have a domain name (synaptique.ca) and i can do whatever subdomain i want. I just go to some config page, enter the subdomain name and clic on create.

So, if someone ever want to buy (or register) a domain name that would be the same as a sub domain of wikia.com, why not ? Wikia own guildwars.wikia.com but NOT guildwars.com. So, you could register a name.com or name.net or whatever. Subdomain are part of server configuration and arent registered like domain name are. — TulipVorlax 03:53, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
