User blog comment:Gp75motorsports/Wikia Staff - Please STOP implementing changes without communities' consensus./@comment-4984687-20150429034401/@comment-452-20150429161558


 * Wikia is about all communities being the same so people can easily hop from one to the next.

No, that's not true, and is actually a pretty toxic idea.

Communities are free to be different, and have different policies. There should be no expectation that different Wikia wikis work exactly the same.

Some common major differences:
 * Some allow spoilers, others don't
 * Some allow speculation, others don't
 * Some have strict images policies others don't
 * Some use a lot of templates, others don't
 * Some elect admins based popularity, others appoint admins based on skill.
 * Some run on voting, others run on dicussions.
 * Some have written policies, others allow admins to make up reasons to block.
 * Some use infinite blocks for minor offenses, others use short blocks because most vandals never return
 * Some have hundreds of stub pages for every minor detail, others redirect minor details to sections of larger articles
 * Some allow wikipedia articles to be duplicated, others link to wikipedia articles instead.
 * Some allow "wishlists" and fan-fiction in blogs, others recommend using a fan-fiction-specific wiki.
