Okay, I've read it over a few times, and here's what I got from it:

This rule change is really more for wikias that are based on an existing intellectual property like Star Wars, Marvel etc. That is, no one can print pages from wikia, compile them into a book and sell them. A very understandable change since this violates the terms of use on both parties - the original creators of the properties as well as the writers of the fan wikias. Essentially, it's reinforcing better protection from anyone stealing our stuff.

The converse is that if we do decide to start selling anything related to the Nexus (like say, generate funds based on ads), then we have to abandon wikia entirely. We won't be able to use wikia as our primary writing medium, and we would have to work exclusively with the new site.

I'm unclear as to whether we have to delete the entirety of our content (hopefully not), but I think the best way to look at it is this: Whatever's on the site is canon. Anything on the wikia is fan fiction. So for example, Dark Prophecy cannot be adapted into a movie until it gets moved to the new site. Because until then, Dark Prophecy is considered Company Original Content.

Hopefully, that explains things. We could always ask wikia staff for further clarification, but what this means is that eventually, we'll have to abandon wikia entirely. Given that Wordpress hasn't really worked that well, our best of course of action is to completely redesign the site so that it's more user friendly which will be a huge time investment. As DarkWolf suggested a while ago, MediaWiki will likely be the best avenue to go.
