User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/Wiki domains will be changing from wikia.com to fandom.com in early 2019/@comment-1142365-20180815205155/@comment-20644-20180815210648

We'll need to change it for everything, but we certainly understand the sensitivities around non-pop culture topics. One of the reasons this change was announced so early was so we would have time to have conversations with users and even entire communities, and I think this is a good example of where we can be having conversations.

As for what wikis are, we see them for exactly what they are: highly detailed and informative reference sites and encyclopedias for their topic. The move away from Wikia is a business reality, frankly: it didn't resonate with the average consumer or the industry.
