What Fandom is not

Wikia is not:
 * purely a hosting company
 * Only wikis that are likely to be successful and will appeal to a wide range of editors will be created. Requests are not accepted for personal wikis or wikis for small groups. See Wikia creation policy for details, and Wikibooks for a list of potential alternatives.


 * a place to advertise another website
 * Wikia is to be used for community editing, not just to put up links to another website. Non-official advertising is not permitted. See advertising.


 * a Wikimedia project
 * Although Wikia was founded by two of the directors of the Wikimedia Foundation, it is not a Wikimedia project. Wikia is owned by Wikia, Inc..


 * a link farm
 * Wikis on Wikia should contain actual content, not just be a link repository pointing to other sites.
