I find that I can sign on to any Wikia wiki using my username and password that I created first at the [[Wikia Scratchpad]]. I think when I sign into any one of them I can edit any Wikia wiki. I think this should be mentioned in the article. This is very convenient when you edit more than one Wikia wiki, but [[Talk:Wiki_farm#How wiki farms are similar or different from single wikis|I'm not sure if this may imply some disadvantages as well]].

== WoWWiki and PathfinderWiki both leave Wikia! == | |||
In the last couple of days I've found out that the admins of both [[WoWWiki]] and [[PathfinderWiki]] have decided that they no longer wish to work on [[Wikia]]. | |||
With the work being released under the CC licence, they have forked their projects to their new homes, rather than been able to delete them at Wikia. But WoWWiki in particular is one of the top roleplaying wikis on Wikia and this ''could'' be the start of an exodus. It will be interesting to see if anyone actually stays behind to continue the Wikia versions of these projects. | |||
The new World of Warcraft wiki is being called Wowpedia...and is identical to WoWWiki up to several days back, so I am guessing that could get a new article (even though the actual wiki database dates back to the start of WoWWiki). | |||
But the new Pathfinder wiki has retained the PathfinderWiki name, the URL they had before they merged with Wikia and the PathfinderWiki branding. (I'm not so sure what to do about that one.) | |||
A bit of research can find the exact split dates. But at the moment, I'm wondering how this sort of thing should be reported. [[User:David Shepheard|David Shepheard]] 03:35, 5 November 2010 (PDT) | |||
