Wikia don't allow wikis to be closed unless there's a legal reason that forces them to.

The legal reason is because the person made it lol
No, the legal reasons for why Wikia would close a wiki have nothing to do with the founder of the wiki. Legally, the wiki is owned and hosted by Wikia, and therefore they are culpable if it breaks any applicable laws, so they only remove wikis if they might end up creating a legal or financial problem for the company. Hence, they'd close a wiki if it went beyond the bounds of fair use and infringed on an intellectual property owned by another company, for example, or if the rights holder issued a DMCA takedown notice on the wiki, but not if its community decides it wants to leave.
Right. Yeah, I knew that. I wish the person who made it could have control though.
Personally, I wish the community had control (since there are many cases like this one, where the original maker vanishes and doesn't return), but we've got to work with what we have :/
There’s really just a whole bunch dead wikis on there.
