Wikia already makes celebrities out of users by featuring them prominently in blogs or promoting their work and Wikia wikis. This is just another piece of that. Like Douglas Adams said, it is "mostly harmless".

You must not have been working on Wikia wikis very long if this kind of thing upsets you, because it has been happening unofficially for years.

I'm sort of an "unstar" in that I've done alot of work on Wikia wikis, but am somewhat persona non grata due to direct clashes with Wikia staff.
