    Note: We've traced down a bug that was causing this blog post announcement to be mailed multiple times to a number of our users. We apologize for the error, but the mails should now be stopped.

    A year ago, Wikia introduced a new user group across our network called “Moderators”. The purpose of this new group was to aid administrators by enabling and designating more trusted users to keep track of the conversations happening across different Wikia features, like Forum and Message Wall.

    Since then,…

    Hey Wikians. Today, we're excited to announce the launch of a brand new initiative here at Wikia, one that fans like you will be given the opportunity to sign up for: the Fan Contributor Program.

Now, you can take your contributions on Wikia to the next level with this editorial training program. Being part of the Fan Contributor Program will allow participants to share their unique voices and perspect…

    Throughout 2015, Wikia has been hard at work improving the world of templates. Templates are a huge component in creating and sharing content on Wikia and have literally hundreds of purposes and designs.

    We have tried to accomplish two things with templates this year. First and foremost, we've tried to make them more portable. Portability means that you can read content easily on any device, whether it's desktop, mobile web, mobile apps, or other second screen experiences. Tools to help with thi…

    Hello, Ducksoup speaking!

    A couple months back, I wrote a very long (but relevant and interesting!) blog entitled Why Wikia Evolves, in which I explained why Wikia can't sit still and why we're always trying to stay ahead of technological changes.

    As part of that effort, we released a new markup for infoboxes a couple months ago. The TL;DR there: half of your traffic is coming from mobile devices these days, and fans who use them should have the best possible experience when they visit.

    The first …

    Greetings Wikians! I’m very excited to announce a new feature today - Curated Main Pages on mobile devices.

    For most communities the main page is its single most viewed page. Four out of the top five pages on Wikia are main pages, in fact, and that makes sense — a search for “Star Wars wiki” is very likely to return the main page as the first result.

    Main pages on desktop are typically a large collection of content, galleries, templates, and design elements, representing each community very well.…

    The logged-in user experience offers a number of benefits on Wikia. Registered accounts have features like Notifications, Chat, and the ability to follow articles and discussions, just to name a few. In the coming months we’ll be working to highlight these benefits more and see what we can do to drive more readers and anonymous editors to create accounts. With more motivations and prompts to return to a community, a user with an account is much more likely to become an active contributor and d…

    Howdy howdy howdy, Wikians!

    Today we’re (choo-choo!) hopping on the mobile train. We have mobile app news and features to share. And oh my goodness these apps are incredibly popular.

    Wikia released the first five Community Apps in November of 2013. Simple premise: Wikians produce high-quality, engaging content, and apps are a good way collect and organize content for viewers. Since then, we’ve released over 100 iOS apps and more than 80 Android apps, with no end in sight. Combined, these apps surp…

    Hello Wikians! This week you’ll start to see something new at the top of article pages — buttons for sharing your community’s work via social media.

    These options will make it easier for both editors and readers to get your wikia’s expertly-crafted content out into the wider fan universe for your topic. Comments, likes, reblogs, and retweets can indicate how useful and relevant a page is for others. Some of those readers might even come visit and make some contributions of their own!



    We’re espec…

    Did you know I've already been making chat skins for more than one year? And did you know I've always published them here on Community Central first? You may know that because you've been here as well for more than a year. But now it's time to get bigger and therefore I've been making a new place for my chat skins.

    Chat Skins Wikia
    I've made a wiki for all my chat skins: Chat Skins Wikia. From now on I'll post new chat skins there first. Though I stay posting skins here, so don't worry. On the wik…

    Helping the World War II Wiki

    December 23, 2015 by Fargo84

    Hello everyone, It's been a while since I posted on Community Central for promotion, but I've finally come back once again. I am here to raise awareness of the World War II Wiki and its German expansion. Both are wikis that very much need your contributions and both suffer from the same problem of not being able to reach possible contributors. I know there are many people who are fans of World War II gaming or war movies for example, so I urge you that if you are a fan of either, please visit o…

    Hello, I am Akamichi, an international speaker of 3 different languages and English. So, I've edited many different Wikis, learned about some, their editing style, and all sorts of things. But today, or whatever day it is for you; I decided I would show some good things to do for helping out with editing and perfecting a good International Wiki. So, let's get started!



    So, the first thing everyone starts with when creating their international wiki is... where does this person start? If you're maki…
