"You can get everything you need to know about Rey from the largest Star Wars fan site in the world, Wookieepedia, or from one of many of our other Star Wars communities. But what if you also wanted to know about what's happening with the upcoming films? Or theories about where she came from and what her destiny is? Or what if you wanted to share how awesome of a character she is? There's not a natural place for that kind of content on our communities."

Craig, that's not true at all, and you know it. Many wikis have been breaking news and providing the latest information related to their subject matter for years. And many wikis have "theories" sections - notably, LOSTpedia, one of the larger wikis.

Additionally, many wikis use Wikia's own blogging and forum platforms for this kinda thing...so to say there's no place for it, it's just not true and disingenuous. It takes away from the content work these communities have been performing for quite some time now.

You're going to need to explain yourself here.

Furthermore, the elimination of Wikia's numerous hubs on the Wikia main page is offensive. You also know there's more to Wikia than movies, TV, and games - many of the communities that do not factor into those three verticals have also been around for years and made Wikia what it is today.
