Some time ago, as some of you might remember, the Pathfinder Wiki that used to be hosted on Wikia decided (not unlike many other wikis) to move over to an independent location, and so our current Pathfinder Wiki was born. However, since you can't outright delete a Wiki, the old one, called "Golariopedia" remained in place.
Since I am following Golariopedia (mostly due to laziness and not turning RSS off for it) I first saw that apparently the new Wiki policy conflicts with Pathfinder CUP. In order to remedy that, Golariopedia's administration moved in to alter any product identity in order to remedy the situation (Gozreh -> Gozearoha and so on), but at some point apparently they decided that it's a lost cause and decided to delete the content, leaving the Golariopedia as an empty placeholder.
And then things went funny. Apparently, Wikia removed Mark's admin rights accusing him of running a competitive Wiki and damaging the community. Yeah, that sort of things.
So... what's going on with Golariopedia? Should we all just ignore it and go on with PathfinderWiki?

The situation with Wikia is complicated and is now being handled "behind the screen," so to speak, rather than publicly on the Wikia itself. Thus, I can't go into too much detail about what's happening there. As to your second question, I can answer that one more thoroughly.
When we forked the wiki three years ago, we advised that readers should use PathfinderWiki exclusively, as Golariopedia was no longer being maintained. If you still have links or RSS feeds to Golariopedia, please change those over to PathfinderWiki.
Since I know that sometimes members of the internet can "help" by making life difficult for the "bad guys" in an online dispute, I ask that members of the Paizo community not spam or vandalize Golariopedia, nor take any action against Wikia as a whole. Doing so would likely make it more difficult for us to deal with the situation on an official level.
