Wikia



Wikia is a free web hosting service (also known as a wiki farm). It is normally free of charge for users to create and edit a wiki, because its income is derived from advertising, and publishes all user-provided content under copyleft licenses. Founded by Jimmy Wales and Angela Beesley in 2004, Wikia hosts several hundred thousand wikis using MediaWiki, its open-source wiki software. It is headed by CEO Craig Palmer.
