Of course, as you all know, Wikipedia is the source of information, ranging from films to video games and the like. Wikia, on the other hand, has sections each specializing in certain subjects(e.g. Yu-gi-oh) with more detail than Wikipedia. I myself am sort of neutral to using either two. Wikipedia certainly covers some subjects that Wikia does not, while Wikia broadens the scope of the subject that each subject specializes on. I find myself using both. What about you guys? EDIT: I should have also put in Both or Neither, since my choice is the former. Too late, .

I am a Wikipedia fan; always have been (since I first saw it at least), and always will be. I have 4249 total edits on Wikipedia (as of this post), and have received 2 barnstars!

...I use Wikipedia to look for general information on a topic, and I use Wikia to look for more specific information on the topic. So, I don't think you can compare the two, and say one is better than the other.

I told you I am neutral over this one. I find that some articles in Wikipedia are not quite complete, but Wikia tackles them in detail. But, there was also the case of the two being vice-versa, considering many of Wikia's topics/sections are just starting out. One case of the former is the Yu-gi-oh Wikia I mentioned in my first post, which seems to have a database that rivals even that of Bulbapedia, and somewhat larger than the info it has on Wikipedia, especially since the bulk of that Wikia is on the cards(of course): yugioh.wikia.comIn case of the latter, I ran across a Wikia that consists of only "2" articles(I don't remember the actual Wikia). Remember, I only put this up to see which the others think is better. This is a debate, right?
