Although it was addressed in the moot (lol), I'll mention it here.

When it comes to Wikia based advertising -- either through footers or the obvious ads -- you don't get control over it. You have no ability to control which wiki's are advertised through such things. Just like you have no control over the advertisements shown around the wiki for anonymous users. There are some things that are Wikia controlled and whenever Wikia controls that feature, you won't get a say on their appearance or what appears in it.

Also, this isn't going to get more editors to join. Wikia tried this a long time ago (pre-2010 iirc) and it did absolutely nothing to improve editor counts on the respective wiki's. It's just a way for Wikia to direct viewership towards more profitable wiki's on the service so they can earn more money. Don't forget that Wikia is a for-profit service. ;)

Just thought I'd point this out. Not voting because I find the idea pointless. :P
