[http://fandom.wikia.com/explore '''Wikia'''], later known as '''Fandom''', is a wiki hosting service founded in late 2004 by [[Wikipedia|Jimmy Wales]] and Angela Beesley as '''Wikicities'''. It is notable for hosting many fanwikis, such as [[World of Warcraft|WoWWiki]] and [[Star Wars|Wookieepedia]]. However, [http://awa.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Forked_wikis many wikis have left the site] due to discontent over policies such as advertising and the (at the time) new "Oasis" skin, implemented against the majority of the community's will. |
