 * it's always OK to say "I don't want to share that", or "I prefer to use my nickname, not my legal name".

Try telling that to facebook.

My golden rules:
 * 1) Assume any information you give will be used against you
 * 2) Don't do or say anything you can't explain to your grandmother

Unfortunately, due to the fact that Wikia loads http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js on every pageview, Facebook knows all about my activity on Wikia, and is free to do whatever they like with that information, including telling my grandmother. Or at least they would, if I didn't use adblock to block everything from facebook.com and other third-party usage trackers.

The bottom line: Be aware that you cannot trust Wikia to protect your privacy. Only you can act well to ensure that they're not passing your activities on to others.
