Advertising and use of free content
Wikia has sometimes expanded by acquiring an existing wiki's domain name, user lists, and databases, from a founder or co-founder in return for money and stock options.[1] The original wiki is then shut down without consulting its editors or wider community, and the domain redirected to Wikia's version of the project. In at least two cases[nb 1][2] the content was under a non-commercial license, raising the question of whether the wikis could legitimately be sold to Wikia for commercial use.[3] In 2009, Wikia added an extension where users could create magazines of content pages, through partner MagCloud;[4] however, this was not disabled on wikis with a "Noncommercial" clause on their license, which would break the license.
Once on Wikia, wiki communities have complained of inappropriate advertisements, or advertising in the body text area.[5] There is no easy way for individual communities to switch to conventional paid hosting, as Wikia usually owns the relevant domain names. If a community leaves Wikia for new hosting, the company typically continues to operate the abandoned wiki using its original name and content, adversely affecting the new wiki's search rankings.[6]
