Help:Why use Wikia

If you have a use for a wiki, and you want that wiki to be easily maintainable, part of a large community, and hosted for free, then you should consider using Wikia.

By creating a wiki on Wikia, you will instantly be part of a large wiki community. Many users edit across more than one wiki, bringing editing expertise to newly created wikis. The Central Wikia provides a place for the communities to come together and deal with problems on individual wikis.

Hosting your wiki on Wikia saves you the hassle of installing and maintaining your own wiki engine. The wiki can be created in minutes, and you don't even need to think about the technical issues involved, such as installation and back ups, or buying servers and domain names. A wiki at Wikia is hosted across a growing network of servers in professional colocation facilities, ensuring your site is always available.

Wikia is using the latest version of MediaWiki with lots of optional extra features. For example, YouTube can be integrated with the content, users can be notified of changes via email, dynamic pages lists, parser functions, and much more. We also have excellent spam control and cross-wiki vandal blocking, which leaves users more time to focus on the content instead of dealing with bad edits.
