As Wikia's residential paranoid nutjob, and as a person who loves saying bad things about others, I feel the most qualified to say this: Wikia's security isn't great, but they're clearly trying their best to fix all the security issues and keep us safe.

While I make fun of their degree of "success", "a justified thing to mock"; I am genuinely glad Wikia is now trying to protect us, and I'm glad that they're trying to deal with the massive backlog of security problems and that they're treating security as an actual priority.

Yes, there's been a large number of recent attacks. But Wikia has noticed these attacks, and they're at least TRYING to prevent future ones.

Yes, 2FA is something that should have been rolled out over a year ago. Yes, HTTPS should have been made mandatory and supported years ago. Yes, the login procedures are broken. Yes, there's all kinds of little ways to bypass the permission management system and lockdown tools. These things need to be fixed. But it's obvious Wikia is genuinely trying. Most of their efforts seem to be directed to the last one, but I understand and appreciate the effort.

Thank you Wikia, for this work that is worthy of a C-, but is clearly some of your best effort, and a mark of major improvement.
