Anti-Wikia Alliance

A skin changes the look and feel of a site without changing its core features.

Monaco was the skin before Wikia. "Wikia" (nicknamed Oasis) is a new mandatory skin on wikia which was instituted site wide November 3rd, 2010, despite massive objections.1

After the wikia staff failed to compromise, the purpose of the Anti-Wikia Alliance changed - primarily to help editors transfer their site from wikia, and secondly to create a forum where wikia editors to discuss how the skin changes affect them. Comments are welcome.

Where do I go if I leave Wikia?
A: There are plenty of wiki farms out there, as well as independent wikis that welcome new users.

What is the easiest and best wiki to move to?

 * More detailed instructions on how to leave Wikia for Shoutwiki.

A: Based on editors' experiences, shoutwiki is the easiest wiki to move too, (setup takes less than ten minutes):
 * 1. Create a wiki.
 * 2. E-mail  technical@shoutwiki.com with:
 * a link to your old wikia you are leaving and
 * a link to the newly created shoutwiki wiki.
 * 3. The helpful shoutwiki staff will do the rest.

Are there alternatives to Wikia for hosting?
Here is another comparison of wiki farms. 

How do I host my wiki on another site other than shoutwiki?

 * 1: Every wiki is different so contact the wiki staff first.
 * 2. Download a database dump from Special:Statistics on your wiki (towards the bottom).
 * Alternatively, for advanced users who know how to use scripts, If you're moving to your own server, you may use MediaWikiDumper — a tool that makes much better dumps than Special:Statistics (preserves all diff links, logs, images, deleted edits etc.).
 * 3. Contact the new host and they will explain how they want you to upload the database dump (Special:Import can be used for about 100 pages at a time).

AWA slogan future poll
Currently the slogan is: "Give me choice or give me death!"

Bobofango said: "You used to be cool, what happened?"

I suggest this be the new motto. Does anyone have any other motto ideas? So we can create a poll and vote on it?
