::It looks like the split for World of Warcraft has already been taken care of (see [[Wowpedia]]). The current PathfinderWiki article points to the non-Wikia site. The URL for the Wikia fork is http://pathfinder.wikia.com/wiki/Pathfinder_Wiki. I propose we create a separate page for it. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 19:25, 5 November 2010 (PDT) | ::It looks like the split for World of Warcraft has already been taken care of (see [[Wowpedia]]).

:::An anonymous user (probably a user from PathfinderWiki) edited the [[PathfinderWiki]] page. | |||
:::To make things even more complex, both of these two wikis started off as independent projects, joined Wikia and then Wikia would not give them permission to leave. This is the only reason for the fork. If the community had "gone with the majority" they would have moved away as a single project. It seems that Wikia wishes to claim some sort of right to maintain a copy of any projects that do not wish to continue on the site. | |||
:::The WoWWikia URL (which is not a standard Wikia URL) was signed over to Wikia when they merged and they refuse to give it back. The pathfinderwiki.com URL belongs to someone called [http://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/User:Alfred Alfred] and was never signed over to Wikia. Also the one WoWWiki admin who did not want to leave Wikia is a Wikia staff member. The rest have had their admin powers stripped from them.
