Wikia offers free | Wikia offers free hosting for a community to build a wiki-based website based on a heavily modified version of {{tag|MediaWiki}}, in return for the display of advertisements. Some [[wikia:Special:ListUsers|users]] complain that they have little say over the placement or content of advertisements their website displays. | ||
Logged-in users don't have to see the advertisements unless they choose to. Users may set their preferences to see advertisements on Wikia in order to see how a page looks to logged-out users. A prominent advertisement is placed at the top right hand side of most pages, but when there is also a picture on the top right hand side of a page the layout for users who see the advertisement can be poor especially on short pages. Logged-in users may not realize this when they add pictures. | Logged-in users don't have to see the advertisements unless they choose to.
