Wikia is a wiki hosting service founded in late 2004 by Jimmy Wales and Angela Beesley. It is notable for hosting many fanwikis, such as WoWWiki and Wookieepedia. However, many wikis have left the site lately due to discontent over policies such as advertising and the new "Oasis" skin, implemented against the majority of the community's will.

This website provides examples of:

Author Existence Failure: Can Wikia really exist when they're out of users?
Awesome Personnel Carrier
Content Warnings: Especially the spoiler warnings.
Don't Make Me Destroy You: Admins.
Everyone Is Gay: Depending on the Wikia's topic...for example, in the Winx Wiki majority of the population are girls.
Grammar Nazi: Yes.
Hot Linked: Particularly with deleted images
Insistent Terminology: Wikis hosted on Wikia are not wikis, they are wikias.
Law of Wiki Expansion
Locked Pages
Our Super Strict Language Policy
Post Count: The editcount.
Reading Your Rights: Admins and Bureaucrats.
Rule of Cautious Editing Judgement
Stillborn Franchise: Wikia Search.
Someday This Will Come in Handy: Has been known to cause attempts to invoke this trope.
The Wiki Rule: Wikia is one of the major reasons this Trope exists.
Vitalizing Edit
Walkthrough Mode: Especially in gaming wikis.
Wikia Will Ruin Your Life
Wiki Magic
Wiki Curator
Wiki Vandal
