Wikia

Wikia is the definitive place for people to collaboratively pursue their interests and share their knowledge on the web. Using Wikia, anyone can form new communities around any subject they love or participate in over 200,000 existing communities by reading or contributing new content.

The Wikia Gaming Network maintains many of the largest gaming wikis, including WoWWiki, the World of Warcraft wiki with more than 75,000 articles. Wikia also hosts Wikianswers, a collaborate question and answer site.

With more than five million pages of rich content, Wikia’s communities are the most authoritative information about any topic on the Internet. Launched in 2004 by co-founders Jimmy Wales and Angela Beesley, Wikia attracts more than 45 million global unique visitors per month and is a Top 50 Internet site according to Quantcast.

Wikia is independent of Wikipedia and uses a for-profit model with ad revenues, however the site uses the same wiki software application as Wikipedia, called MediaWiki.
