User blog comment:Craiglpalmer/Wikia is now Fandom powered by Wikia/@comment-1916935-20160926161240/@comment-1916935-20160927050856

Wouldn't a better name be the far more well known and recognized "Wikia" though? Most everyone knows what a wiki is, and the name is instantly recognizable. The term "fandom" is a generic term used to describe a group of people who very much enjoy a topic/movie/game/book, etc.

Not to mention that shouldn't it be assumed that Fandom would get more traffic in its first 9 months than the Wikia network it its first 9 months since Fandom has a built in audience and is very visibly displayed on wikis, which are read by how many millions of people a day? Simply having more traffic isn't a good reason to rebrand an established franchise (for lack of a better term), especially when you're rebranding it to something that hasn't even existed for a year. But hey, that's just my two cents.
