Template talk:Fandom
One thing
Can we keep this template? Woodchuck (talk) 10:49, 16 May 2017 (EDT)
Assuming this template isn't also lifted from another wiki, I think it can stay: . I feel that linking to wikia should be acceptable for non-videogame subject matter as well as third-party games not associated with Nintendo. Infact, we already have a wikia pipe markup that works like the old [[wikipedia:stuff|stuff]] methods and it's used on quite a few pages.
However the examples on the page should be changed to non-NIWA examples, and it should be stressed that we will prioritize linking to NIWA wikis as well as any other indie wiki on any other subject matters. If we pipe a link to "Optimus Prime", it should link to tfwiki dot net instead of the wikia, for example. --Glowsquid (talk) 11:08, 16 May 2017 (EDT)
Broken
None of the links seem to be working. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 21:05, 26 October 2018 (EDT)
- That's because most of the community links now go to fandom.com now instead of wikia.com. Not every single community has been moved to the fandom domain name, but around 600 English wikis have moved there. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 21:52, 26 October 2018 (EDT)
- Already been fixed. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 22:07, 26 October 2018 (EDT)

Fandom launched in 2016 and Wikia was fully phasing out from 2018 to 2021. I was wondering if we could move the template "Wikia" to "Fandom".

Support
- GuntherBB (talk) Per proposal
- Arend (talk) I mean, the name "Wikia" has fallen out of use ever since it was renamed to FANDOM, so it makes sense. If there's an opposition to keep the template name, at least make Template:Fandom a redirect?
Oppose
- PnnyCrygr (talk) Wikia is the more known name for such fan wikis, so we will retain the Wikia name. Besides, wouldn't moving the template create countless red links? My opposition.
