Hey everyone! Checking in to see how things are going, and bringing some more general updates.

You might have noticed that some wikis are showing new video content. The new video series, called The Loop, will have new videos weekly and will be replacing the old featured videos that were placed at the top of some wiki pages. The one I've seen around the movies/TV wikis is about The Mandalorian, and I actually like it, it's the kind of thing I'd check out while browsing on YouTube. So if you see new videos on the wikis, that's what's going on. You can read more about it in the Community Central staff blog post An Update on the Future of Featured Video.

For a nice overview of what Fandom has been up to for the past 12 months, check out the staff blog post This Year at Fandom - 2019.

Hello! My name is Kylara, and I’m the Fandom Wiki Manager for Altered Carbon Wiki. I'm here to help the community and be a liaison to full-time Fandom staff. If you ever have any questions or issues relating to the wiki, editing, or anything of the sort, please contact me on my message wall!

I've been going around to let communities know about a couple things. The first is a new feature called the Global Taxonomy, and you can read about in the Community Central staff blog post Introducing Global Taxonomy. This feature will better personalize wiki recommendations for you and visitors, which means people who would be interested in your wiki content will be better able to find it, and it will provide you with the ability to discover content that’s interesting and relevant to you.

Second, I've been enjoying the Best Practices blog series, and I'm recommending it to everyone. Most recent is the blog post Templates and Scripting on Fandom, which addresses automation, JavaScript, and template usage.

Hope you find these useful as well!
