User blog comment:Craiglpalmer/Wikia is now Fandom powered by Wikia/@comment-25295528-20160926160947/@comment-20644-20160926174557

Wikis won't be changing. Fan knowledge and wikis are at the core of the Fandom contribution and content experience. They can still be as factual (or opinionated, because there are some wikis like that out there) as they want. Communities continue to decide how they want to present their wiki content.

The name Fandom is inclusive of all contribution and content experiences on the site: wikis, news and stories, Discussions, and even future experiences we haven't even thought of yet. It brings it all together and recognizes the platform as the largest's entertainment fan site in the world. Wikia is associated with the word wiki, yes, but moving to a broadly inclusive name doesn't ignore wikis or change them. It refocuses the brand around the whole experience, at the core of which are wiki communities.
