Wikia wikis reach both extremes. Some are strictly encyclopedias (shun fan discussion), others are strictly fanon (fan fiction). Others still cradle between with canon and fanon content. Wikia isn't one or the other.

There are crazy fandoms out there (don't all fanbases have "crazy" people?); some more heated and in dispute than others. Each is unique.

I see Wikia's position. Like it or not, Wikia isn't like other wikis/wiki farms. Fans are important to the brand. Wikis, especially Wikia wikis, are very much part of fandoms as they are created by fans.
