		+	On this date nmn finished his [[bot]] which would be used to automatically add the "wiki moved" message to every page. It ran for several hours before [[sysop]]s arrived to [[revert]] the messages, which they did rather [[Fail\|clumsily]] (for example, by adding themselves to the "[[bot]]s" category to hide the reverts, and then mass reverting all edits of one [[IP]], but not others). Once the entire wiki was protected, the situation was taken to a few user talk pages, only to be consistently reverted by one of the sysops...
		+
		+	Hey!! Reverting legitimate talk page comments is against [[policy]]! Well, it's certainly against [[Wikipedia]] policy, and if it isn't against Wikia policy then that's yet [[another nail in the coffin]] for how corrupt Wikia truly is.

New page

'''Wikia''' is a [[profit]]eering [[wiki farm]] company.

{{Tag|red|fybW_fVYGLQQfxEfRYWW6mLdYSByMIueE57xywZ8w8N4xA1n|Please avoid putting any links to wikia [dot] com on this page.|Any such links would up their [[pagerank]] by just a bit, and we don't want that, now do we?|the article was created}}

Don't you already see the problem with that?

Yup. Wikia [[pig|employees]] will do anything they possibly can to keep its custom in much the same way any company's [[complaints department]] will fob you off about everything.

Recently, they switched to a new [[skin]], codenamed "[[Oasis]]" and, confusingly enough, officially titled "Wikia". This skin forces a 1000px [[fixed-width layout]] on all visitors, hides useful tools like "page history" and "view source" meaning you have to manually edit the [[URL]] to actually see anything, introduces [[social networking]] features that have no place in a wiki, and does plenty of other [[facepalm]]-inducing things.

As a direct reaction to this, many communities have decided to up and leave Wikia. However, being as possessive as they are over their wikis, they refuse to close wikis for the reason of wanting to move elsewhere, and outright [[ban]] people for directing visitors to any new host. In addition, they attempt to [[bribe]] the minority remainder of users that haven't left with features that shouldn't even be necessary (such as a slightly wider, but still not variable-width, layout).

Noticeably, whenever there's a "debate" on whether a Wikia wiki should be moved to alternative hosting, it's extremely one-sided: the only votes against the move are those by Wikia employees.

Ironically, Wikia has started offering ad-free wiki hosting for $19.95 per ''month'' - even the ''entire'' [[VPS]] that [[Kawachan]] is hosted on is ''significantly'' cheaper than that!!
