In late 2016, at the same time as the global rebrand to Fandom, Wikia, Inc. also launched a non-profit sister site [https://Wikia.org/ Wikia.org]. '''Wikia.org''' also acts as a [[wiki farm]], and uses the same software as Wikia.com, but the most obvious difference is a lack of [[:Category:Advertising|advertising]]. Wiki sites hosted on Wikia.org continue to use the {{tag|Wiki Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike|Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 unported license}} (CC-BY-SA 3.0), so whilst Wikia itself will not profit from hosting sites on Wikia.org, there is the potential to reuse content from Wikia.org on another website (as is allowed under terms of the CC-BY-SA 3.0), and those external sites to also monetise from said re-hosted Wikia.org content. | In late 2016, at the same time as the global rebrand to Fandom, Wikia, Inc. also launched a non-profit sister site [https://Wikia.org/ Wikia.org].
