Hey guys!
Further to my last post, I have updates on Women's History Month, MediaWiki 1.37, and quizzes!
Women's History Month in March
For Women’s History Month, Fandom intends to spotlight creators, IPs, and women behind-the-scenes at Fandom and editors that “break the bias” by forging a path that supports women's equality. Read more here!
In March, Fandom will starting the upgrade from MediaWiki 1.33 to MediaWiki 1.37. Think of this like a mobile phone software update that brings security updates and more. Upgrading means wikis get the latest updates and improvements.
Note: this is not a design change on Fandom and impact on wikis should be minimal compared to UCP and FandomDesktop changes. This Help page provides a detailed summary of what is changing.
Prior to the migration, a banner will appear across the site informing the community of the upcoming change. Read more here!
Research concluded that wiki readers are more likely engage with interactive content like quizzes rather than static content. With that, Fandom are starting to expand quizzes! Logged out users who visit Fandom can expect to start seeing quizzes appearing on top communities across the site that are relevant and page-targeted. For now, only quizzes created by Fandom staff, Wiki Representatives, and Wiki Specialists will be what’s targeted to visitors, but that will change as we continue to develop the product.
Feel free to share your feedback! If you notice any errors on quizzes or accuracy issues, please let me know and I can make adjustments. Read more here!
That about does it! Any questions, feel free to reach out to me! :)
