Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how Wikia appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
The information found on a wikia is often the most comprehensive and de facto source of fan-authored content around a topic.
Because editorial links between Wikipedia and the Wikias are quite rare, we attempt to connect more strongly the Wikia collections in our study to Wikipedia by employing NEMO, a state-of-the-art Wikipedia-based EDL system.
Definitions, pronunciation, and etymology for this entry are drawn from Wiktionary via the kaikki.org structured extract (CC BY-SA); frequency ordering uses the FrequencyWords open word-frequency list (2018 English corpus, MIT). See the methodology for how each field is sourced and updated.
