Wikia - creating communities
These are the people who are working for Wikia, Inc.
[edit] Community Team
The Wikia Community Team answers questions, helps new wikis get off the ground, provides assistance with logos and templates, passes on technical requests and bug reports, patrols for spam and vandalism, answers requests for new wikis, and much more.
The Community Team is here to help with any issues on any Wikia site. The team spans five continents (North America, South America, Europe, Australia, and Asia). Let us know how we can help you with your wiki and community. Please see below for the best ways to contact us.
