The most common issues which have forced communities to [[fork]] involve Wikia making decisions which harm the project, such as a long series of [[:Category:Advertising|advert]]-heavy [[:Category:Wikia skin|re-skins]]. At various times, [[:Category:Wikia staff|Wikia / Fandom staffers]] have censored or deleted portions of the content from many individual wikis (such as [[:Category:Uncyclopedia|Uncyclopedia]], where a 'content warning' posted on the entire site led to a community {{tag|fork}} in 2013). These decisions are made not for the benefit of the community, but for the benefit of the Wikia corporation or the marketers or shareholders which it serves. | ||
Any original Wikia wikis which remain after the move or fork (known as '[[:Category:Spoon|spoons]]') would be [[edit]]ed or censored by staff to prevent any remaining Wikia [[user]]s from mentioning that the community had left to go elsewhere. These abandoned wikis would remain as competitors to the new projects, harming that project's search engine ranking through duplicate content penalties. | Any original Wikia wikis which remain after the move or fork (known as '[[:Category:Spoon|spoons]]') would be [[edit]]ed or censored by staff to prevent any remaining Wikia [[user]]s from mentioning that the community had left to go elsewhere.
