User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/Wiki domains will be changing from wikia.com to fandom.com in early 2019/@comment-5785681-20180905210740

@Tupka217 - Your frustration is showing, but that frustration is just the tip of the iceberg - the voice of a few speaking for many who won't say a word or who don't gaf. I think everyone realizes by now that the Wikis will still be called "wikis." Whether that was always to be the case or is an impromptu mid-course correction, I can't say, but we get it. This change is still less than optimal because now the search URLs for all wikis will include FANDOM. It's bad enough that they're currently housed under the visible umbrella of FANDOM which, for some, is fine but for others, I'm sure has been downright awful. Does FANDOM care about those wikis? I tend to think not since the money is in entertainment, not education. And the pushback is also about anxiety: i.e. what's next? How soon before wikis are discarded altogether as superfluous to the bottom line? I'm sure that's being discussed, if not embraced (yet). Sound unlikely? Yeah, so did FANDOM three years ago.
