User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/Introducing Unification, FANDOM's next big initiative/@comment-27780164-20181102013904/@comment-31955138-20181102223603

@Bobbie goodman, FANDOM has delivered stronger promises not to change from the .wikia.com domain than it now does to keep /wiki/ in the title. Then just look at the 'fan feed'. Honestly I have seen revues on it on a wiki for a series of books with a average reading age of 10 for R rated films with 'ritualistic violence and graphic nudity'. It seems like Wikia wants to be BuzzFeed not a wiki host.

As for Wikia being a business, yes it is but their is such a thing as a business which is nice to its users and volunteers. As for your evidence that they are nice each piece is floored.
 * 1) If they closed community central they would have no way of communicating what is good and bad to wiki editors and so wikis (along with readership numbers) would decline.
 * 2) If they were to eliminate all ways of communicating with them then there would be, for example, no way of asking for the help of VSTF. Besides which if they don't listen to what is very heavy opposition then they might as well drop all ways of us communicating with them.
 * 3) And as for them giving us heads up over major changes, the method is inadequate: they don't even automatically add wiki admins to the followers of the blog about changes let alone give them notifications through the notification system compare that with its competitors like Miraheze who . And even then they dropped support for monobook with no warning and without even a blogpost. Allegedly it was removed because of GDPR but I can't say that with a straight face. Just look around: how many other wiki hosts have suddenly dropped Monobook due to GDPR.

Finally don't even think about quoting boiler plate Terms of Service to us, we  all know that any company writes into its own terms of service that we can randomly block you from using us whenever we like without any reason. The question is will they? And in the case of the URL change: they went ahead in the face of opporsition.
