Hi again. A few minutes ago, Wikia's CEO Craig Palmer posted a staff blog here introducing Fandom, a brand new pop culture and entertainment site on Wikia. Fandom is the impetus behind the change to the global navigation. Wikia is the home of Fandom both in terms of the knowledge and passion that fans bring to Wikia, and also because Fandom.com is a new Wikia media property. That's why the nav now says 'The Home of Fandom' and links to Fandom when you click the Wikia logo.

A couple of other notes on some of the other changes:


 * We removed the flyout hub menus because traffic and clicks were very low. So we decided to focus in on Fandom and the top three hubs, which are the hubs that do well traffic-wise. We'll continue to watch for what clicks look like moving forward.
 * The new Explore Wikia is a really great addition. If you click Explore Wikia, you'll be taken to a new landing page that highlights communities and gives them an opportunity to be recognized. That menu also prominently recognizes WAM and, for the first time, adds Community Central to the global nav.

So while the changes are small and subtle, they do represent an evolution and improvement on the navigation.
