When I started a wikia in October, as Minecraftfan14 expected, it was pre-loaded with over 20 templates - a variety of infoboxes, etc - to get the wikia started. This is the second new wikia this week to advise that new wikias nolonger has a "wikia starter pack". Was this announced in a staff blog? I do not understand why wikia have done this. To make it easier to contribute, wikia take a step forward by launching VisualEditor; but take a step back by offering less creation tools (templates).
