Hey guys!

I'm here to let you know that staff have exciting plans for the future of video on Fandom, including the future of what was Featured Video (FV) and what is replacing it.

A replacement for FV, titled The Loop, is set to be a mini-show that will be different for each vertical, highlighting the latest news from topics relating to that vertical. The best bit? These videos will use wiki articles and will encourage users to visit the wikis featured in the videos to find out more.

As a new episode of The Loop will be released weekly, you will see a wide variety of wikis of featured so there is every chance yours will be featured too!

Please see the latest staff blog for more details and feel free to ask me any questions!

Secondly, staff posted a blog about Fandom in 2019 and the amazing things achieved! Here's to a great 2020. :)

Because I do.

Hi guys!

Fandom staff posted two important and exciting blogs recently which I wanted to make you aware of!

Global taxonomy

The title sounds really fancy and complicated, but this boils down to Fandom recommending content you want to see. Fandom has received feedback from users who are receiving recommendations to visit certain wikis they are not interested in.

With this data driven approach, users on a wiki will receive recommendations for new communities to visit based on what typical readers of that subject are interested in. That way you can attract like-minded users to your community and you get to visit other wikis you are interested in!

Please do read the blog for more information. If you have any questions on this, please feel free to let me know!

Templates and scripting

This Best Practices blog talks about what a lot of users have questions about - templates and JavaScript.

A key message on the blog is not to do overdo the templates and JavaScript on a wiki as that can slow the wiki down and make the experience not so good for users.

The blog goes into how you can effectively use templates and JavaScript and ways you can make the user experience better. For example, it is really recommended communities use user-friendly parameter names for templates so new users can edit the wiki article and contribute to the wiki.

The blog is packed with details so please do give it a read! Also feel free to ask me any questions.

Thanks guys!

Will there be another ghostbusters in the future? Exp:2023

Cause the old characters and new ones are funny as hell XD

I recently re-watched ghostbusters 2 and remember the rumours that Eddie Murphy was meant to be in the film. Pretty sure he wasn’t but then saw this extra in the background and wondered if he filmed a secret cameo. He probably didn’t but why would this extra be wearing sunglasses inside? I can’t upload a picture but it’s in the scene where the dock workers ring into the police that the titanic has just docked

Who else is pissed that they took out the theme song from the loading screens?

Why are the images of several things, such as Real Ghostbusters episode screencaps, unavailable? Just wondering.
