Fandom, previously known as Wikicities and then Wikia, is a free, ad-supported web hosting service that uses MediaWiki version as its hosting engine. Its main focus is wikis related to pop culture such as TV shows, movies and video games.

Fandom was co-founded by Jimmy Wales, who also co-created Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation, and has had several other Wikimedia Foundation board members among its executives. For that reason, it has sometimes been described as the commercial arm of the Wikimedia Foundation. However, there is no official connection between Fandom and either Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation.

Codice Sorgente

In 2020, Fandom released its Unified Community Platform (UCP), which enabled its wikis to again make use of standard MediaWiki after having relied on a heavily forked version for many years.

Il repository pre-UCP di Fandom Git è accessibile a github.com/wikia/app.

Il suo repository UCP, che è privato, si trova all'indirizzo github.com/Wikia/unified-platform. See this page for additional information.

Estensioni

Alcune delle estensioni di Fandom si trovano sul repository Git ufficiale di Wikimedia e le loro pagine appropriate sono situate nella categoria Extensions by Fandom.

Le altre estensioni sono presenti nel repository Git di Fandom, nella cartella /extensions/wikia/. E' probabile che la maggior parte delle estensioni dipendano da Nirvana (disponibile in /includes/wikia/nirvana),la classe EasyTemplate (disponibile nella cartella /includes/wikia/ nel Git di Fandom) e/o potrebbero richiedere le tabelle personalizzate del database. Alcune estensioni non sono compatibili con le versioni più recenti.
