Sorry for rushing my posts & double posting, but there is an Anti-Wikia Alliance here.

There is an article that explains why editors don't like Wikia much. Text:

"A skin changes the look and feel of a site without changing its core features.

Monaco was the skin before Wikia. "Wikia" (nicknamed Oasis) is a new mandatory skin on wikia which was instituted site wide November 3rd, 2010, despite massive objections.

After the wikia staff failed to compromise, the purpose of the Anti-Wikia Alliance changed - primarily to help editors transfer their site from wikia, and secondly to create a forum where wikia editors to discuss how the skin changes affect them. Comments are welcome."

And here's another comparison page; this time between Wikia & ShoutWiki: http://awa.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Wikia_v_Shoutwiki

Wikia tries to grow gigantic by the years from buying out wikis. $$$$$$

A former VSTF (Volunteer Spam Task Force) member Jack Phoenix was even banned from Wikia. Article.

The article explains disasters with the move of Transformers Wiki & GisleWiki. A controversial thing about Wikia is that they do not remove wikis upon request, even if the entire community moves & the old Wikia is abandoned.
