Welcome
Welcome to Central Wikia, Ldude893!

We're a friendly community here; most of us are active on an individual wiki, and many of us are active on more than one.

If you're looking for help, a help wiki can be found here, and you're welcome to ask the community questions on the Community Central Forum. If you need assistance from a staff member, you can contact the Community Team using Special:Contact.

You can get live help from community members and staff in our IRC channel. There are also channels for larger Wikia and their communities. Here you can socialize and get to know your community!

If you have an idea for a new wiki, please create one! Check out our list of new wikis and see if any of them interest you. A directory of existing wikis is also available.

Finally, please keep an eye on the recent changes to see what the community is up to here.

Enjoy! -- Robin Patterson (Talk) 2010-08-18T08:30:08

Declaration of Independence
Thesis statement - When in the course of wikis, the forcing of the Wikia skins becomes intolerable, the loss of content space and freedom of customization requires that users everywhere protest to the Staff and wave goodbye to the wiki farm Wikia.

Introduction - We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all users -Staff or Users- are equal, that they all deserve the freedom to have their say with rights to not be alienated; that among these are happy communities, freedom of editing, and the pursuit of the best their wiki can be.

List of offenses -
 * Advertising schemes.
 * Content space is too small.
 * Popular Blog Posts section.
 * Photo gallery on every page.
 * Commenting on articles.
 * Useless Wiki Activity page
 * Bar at top of page.
 * Seeing wikis as Blog Sites.
 * Failing to listen to community.

Response in past - In every stage of the staff's abuses, communities from around the site have bounded together for justice. They have expressed anger in the form of art, they have written it in the form of poetry, they have written it in the form of prose.

Assertion - Has this not been the user suffering of the Wikia Skin Design? We, the editors, therefore, do in the name of wikis everywhere, solemnly declare that all wikis should have the freedom to stick up for themselves. That it is their right, that it is their duty to throw off the New Look and to build their wiki with their beloved Monaco.
