Wikia Magazines

Wikia Magazines are a new style of wiki where contributors create and edit magazine articles on a range of topics.

The first three magazines - entertainment, local information and politics - launched on February 13, 2007. Another four - cars, tunes, health, and gaming launched on March 13, 2007. The next four were launched in April foodie, restaurants, mortgages, and fitness. More are planned soon!

Each magazine is a community resource for building free content on a specific topic which will significantly enhance the ability of passionate people to collaborate online.
