Retaliation

Because of the wikia skin, several administrators and bureaucrats on several wikias have been stripped of their leadership positions. Several editors have also been banned. Below is an incomplete list of these cases.

If you would like to add a case, you must add a link to this situation. This is to avoid inaccurate reports. Incidents without a link will be removed. If you don't have a link, post your indecent on the talk page.

Reverting banners and protecting pages
Since wikia keeps the content and will not close down a site, editors will often add external links directing editors to new sites. These are reverted by the staff.


 * Asheron.wikia.com
 * "we are leaving here is the new url address" reverted posting by staff member Sarah Manley.
 * absurdopedia.wikia.com
 * Sitenotice removed by staff.
 * Micronations.wikia.com
 * news feed indefinitely protected by wikia staff.
 * Staff reverted main page link. "Reverting; community may continue here without being forced elsewhere."
 * touhou.wikia.com
 * Link to new http://touhouwiki.net/ removed by Sarah Manley in notice on the main page.


 * Wikisimpsons
 * Staff constantly removing the sitenotice. Also removing it when it has no link to external sites, just a link to a vote.


 * Club Penguin Fanon Wiki
 * Wikia Helper Merrystar removes link to the new wiki.


 * WoWWiki
 * -Forum thread regarding the site location locked by a Wikia staffer to prevent further bumping.
 * -Removal of some advice and a link to Wowpedia on a user's talk page was undone twice: once by a Wikia staffer and the second time by WoWWiki's Wikia-appointed remaining admin.
 * -Their paid hired admin by Wikia of WowWiki created a forum page (deleted) announcing a new policy to "Permanent ban" users that advertise other sites, especially Wowpedia, on user talk pages. It have been replaced by a proposal after a forum complaining about a new policy being created (to forbid mentions to wowpedia) without the proper consensus. Apparently, the original now-deleted thread was a direct order from Wikia on how they think the site should be run.
 * -Both admins are now stifling any reasonable attempt at discussion or mentions of Wowpedia, labeling it "trolling" and reverting it.


 * Astropedia
 * Reverted information about leaving Wikia:
