User blog comment:JustLeafy/Wikia VS Wikipedia/@comment-5301680-20171109011831

Good idea, JustLeafy (Y)

When I came to wikia in the past the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. Wikia did much to offer great features to their users in comparison to Wikipedia. And to this day I appreciate that move.

But times are changing or did already: As you pointed out, Wikipedia has some great beta features today and at least tries to improve itself for the future. That's where Wikia was one step ahead in the past.

Now I guess, that is not the current state. In the past, Wikia cared about and consult the user's wishes. I don't have this impression anymore. It seems that FANDOM is only interested in making money today. You may say, that's what commercial enterprises do. That's absolutely right. But on the other hand FANDOM claims the titling "community" which mean to care for and listen to each other.

After some of us wrote an open letter, nothing took a turn for the better. It seems to me more and more, that it's rather the other way around.

If FANDOM only cares for itself, is it worth to claim the titling "community"? Is it still straight forward?

Who is the better one? The one who at least comprehends that he have to change something and does it's best like Wikipedia does or the one who rests on one's oars? What does it mean if someone is told for four(!) years that he's doing something wrong and urgently have to change it and he just says "it's true, I know" but beyond that keeps ignoring that and everything stays the same.

In the company I work we do not define us by how much tickets we have like collecting scores (the more the better).
