I guess you could say that wiki and wikia are starting to become synonymous (on Wikia) at least :P Marketing, wait a minute the wikia should only be used to inform, educate and entertain users who visit the particular wikia.

I know yes this is none or my business and I shouldn't be talking but a wikia in my point of view of is basically a site similar to Wikipedia but since their are more YouTube videos about Wikipedia rather than the wikia themselves which is quite rare to encounter.

Maybe this doesn't make any sense I do not know honestly but one thing is sure that no user should be denied the privilege to learn unless otherwise considered a serious threat.

Well Wikipedia is a non-profit organization, however Wikia isn't and they make their revenue from ads and whatnot. So it makes sense for Wikia to deploy this tactic of going wiki --> wikia.
