Perhaps all Wikia wikis should be named, if they have pages here "[wikiname] (Wikia)". So like "Psychology Wiki [Wikia]" instead of just "Psychology Wiki". this way viewers here will have more information at hand when making decisions.

:I had been using the parenthetical only to differentiate when there's more than one wiki with the same name. The problem with putting the extra word in the pagename is that it will add an extra step during a search. Instead of taking you right to the page with the name Wookiepedia, if we change it to "Wookiepedia [Wikia]", a person searching for "Wookiepedia" will be presented with search result options and have to choose from those. That seems like bad UI to me. Instead, maybe we could make the Wiki Farm or Hosting Site part of the infobox. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 12:37, 16 December 2010 (PST) | |||
