What is Wikia?

Wikia is a collection of community websites where millions of passionate fans come to discover, create and share information on thousands of topics. Community-created wikis cover everything from the latest games, anime and TV to eco-friendly living and the world's best chocolate chip recipes.

A wiki is a website that you can edit. The word comes from "wikiwiki", a Hawaiian word for "fast". Wikis are designed to be collaborative so people can work together on a wiki project.

What can I do here?

Don't be afraid to edit - anyone can edit almost any page, and we encourage you to have a go! Find something that can be improved, either in content, grammar or formatting, and fix it. You can't break Wikia. Anything can be fixed or improved later. So go ahead, find a page and edit.

Creating an account

Creating an account is free, easy and the best way to get started. By having an account you have access to your own user and talk page, and can keep track of your edits as well as pages that interest you. Simply fill in the required fields, confirm your email address and get started!
