'''Wikia'''<ref>http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Wikia</ref> (formerly '''Wikicities''' and currently known as Fandom <ref>http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Wikicities - see the URL</ref>) is a [[wiki farm]] founded and formerly run by Wikipedia co-founder [[Jimmy Wales]] and Wikimedia Foundation board member Angela Beesley.<ref>http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/04/wikia_adds_new_.html</ref>  It has raised millions in investments and used to enjoy preferential treatment by Wikipedia.<ref>http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/04/28/wikipedia-special-treatment-for-wikia-and-other-wikis/</ref> At one point Wikia was slowly declining, to where many wikis were abandoned and received few edits. Over the years Wikia has improved through its reasonable policies without being too strict or overly micromanaging, like Wikipedia is. Presently, in many ways, it is preferable than [[Wikipedia]], but with some drawbacks. It has changed its domain to fandom.com as of early 2019. However, Fandon's TOU was updated recently to ban "deadnaming" (ie, giving the original birth-given name of) people suffering from gender confusion (called trans people on the site).
