Wikia is the only place where you can find a wikia, whereas there are many places you can find a wiki. I have only been a Wikia contributor for a year and in that time have come to the conclusion that they have a "do not step on anyone's toes" policy. But this just makes their policies so vague, it makes contributing more confusing than it needs to be.

I have just tried to "Start a wikia" using the link at the top of page. The automated system tells me that it will be called page Wiki (no "A" at end of name). So based on this reply from Brandon, the structure is.....

URL → wikia.com

pages on wikia.com → wikias

software on wikias → wiki (as in mediawiki.org)

As the word "wiki" is still part of Wikia.com vocabulary, I see no point redesigning wordmarks to say page WIKIA when browser bookmarks will still refer it as page Wiki.
