[edit] Wikis
There are a number of wikis that serve the Comics fandom. Some cover many topics, touching only on comics in certain parts and some are specialized. They focus on only comics or only certain parts of the comics fandoms. While they might not look like traditional fan communities, wikis frequently became a gathering spot for comic fans to create resources to enable their fanac and help fill a need to for some to obsess over little details. Like in other fandom communities, the use of wikis really began to take off after the popularization of Wikipedia, as wikiscripts became more available and as hosts began to cater to this need.
The specialized comic focus can be seen on wikis like Spider-Man Wikia, a Spider-Man wiki created by Xilentshadow900 on Wikia on October 3, 2005 [1] and Comics Fanon, a Marvel comic oriented wiki created on Wikia by Zakkoroen on August 23, 2007. [2][3]
