Some of you have probably noticed that our wiki—and most others—have had "wikia.com" replaced with "fandom.com". I just wanted to let you all know a few things that you may not have known.

First of all, FANDOM staff made the decision, not any administrators. They're migrating all wikis that qualify as "fandoms" (some, like history wikis, don't) to the new URL. It appears that we're one of the first.

Secondly, FANDOM is expecting a temporary decrease in wiki activity (views and such), and then an overall increase in activity. They say that Google will favor the new URL because of brand consistency.

Thirdly, everything will redirect to the new URL. So, if you go to wikia.com, you'll be redirected to fandom.com for this wiki. It shouldn't cause any problems there.

FANDOM has several articles up about this, so check them out if you have any more questions, or just ask me and I'll answer to the best of my abilities.
