I think we'll do much better if we stand together.

At the end of the day Wikia needs to be reminded that the reason WHY they have a place they can put ads is because of the free labour given by countless people. That might not be easy to put on the balance sheet, but its the only reason they exist at all.

They've been reminded numerous times and historically they only listen to contributors about 50% of the time. Until they have a big loss of high WAM wikis like happened during the Oasis wars, they're unlikely to change trajectory. Fandom is not really an innovation and technology company, so their marketing and sales departments have the biggest influence on the their decisions. If they had more of a technology focus, they would think their software plans through more thoroughly, but "Lucy" is a prime example of how they aren't thinking broadly about how such a change is missing so many features and only thinking about the features that they think will drive lots of anons and not the known population of their best contributors.
