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.

 * 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 It have been replaced by a proposal after a forum complaining about a new policy being created (to forbid mentions to wowpedia) without the proper consensus.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.
