@HydrargiaSaffron - Excuse. Sorry for overlooking your one year there.

Once again: This poll is meaningless. Whether or not you think it's a good idea or a bad one will have absolutely zero impact on what Wikia does going forward. Why? Because you are not a shareholder, investor, or advertiser. What do these entities have in common? They give Wikia/Fandom a lot of $$$. You don't.

As a wiki administrator who has been here for 11 years, I've witnessed and experienced a lot of changes. Brand changes. Policy changes (and reversals). Interface changes. Even experienced falsehoods and lies.

The opinion of the users do not matter. You aren't consulted. They will plow through with what they want to do because 1) they can and 2) they are counting on (a large majority of) you not leaving. This have proven to work for them for over a decade now.

So you have 2 decisions. 1) Leave Wikia because you disapprove. 2) Roll with it, because it's Fandom now. And it could be something else in five more years, and not even look the same.
