Hello, everyone! May 2022 is here, and as part of it, Fandom is going to be celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

As with other events we have done in the past, this is to celebrate AAPI Month as Asian Americans have contributed significantly to American culture—science, sports, activism and entertainment to name a few.

As part of the month, Fandom is highlighting a number of TV shows, movies, video games, comics, artists, and characters featured in these - which, of course, includes our very own Han Seoul-Oh. (If you'd like to test your knowledge on Han, check out his trivia quiz!)

You can read up on the blog post introducing the event to find out more about the celebration.

If you want to join us, make sure to enter our Discord server for news and updates on the fun initiatives that are going to happen later in the month!

COMMUNITY ROUNDTABLES:

These are the dates for the community roundtables that are going to be happening each week of February - all in Fandom's Discord server. Make sure to join the fun if you can!

Hey everyone!

This Friday, May 28th, Fandom Staff will be hosting the very first event of a series called The Downstream.

This is a Twitch stream that will give updates on FandomDesktop, the Fandom brand, and Fanatical, along with conversations with various company teams.

Check this blog post for the details if you want to join us. Hope we'll see you there! :)

Hello everyone! My name is ReverieCode and I’m a Wiki Representative from Fandom.

I wanted to draw your attention to a 2 week quality of life bug fixing project we’re undertaking at Fandom as we work through a ton of great feedback we got about the new unified experience we unveiled at Community Connect last weekend. This work will focus on bugs which haven’t risen to critical fix levels while the engineering teams have been heads down on the unified experience work, like features not quite working the way they’re intended or the way they used to on the legacy platform.

You can read more about it in this blog, but what I’m specifically reaching out about is seeing if you have any particular bugs on the wiki that are really annoying, but not site breaking and may have not been reported yet. We have an opportunity to get bugs like that triaged and incorporated into this project, so if that’s the case, please send me everything you can about the bug(s), including steps to reproduce them and any other relevant information.

This is your opportunity to get a quick fix to everyday annoyances while the teams are in full bug squashing mode, so let me know quickly! You can reply to this message, or let me know directly :)

Hello everyone!

I have another update to share - this time, Fandom's latest staff blog regarding the Featured Video area.

They are going to be making some experiments in order to find out what is best for that area, one of which is The Loop, a mini-show produced by Fandom that talks about content based on the vertical that the topic is about (for this wiki, it would be related with TV and movies). For more information, you may visit the actual blog post about it.

(If you are a newcomer to Fandom wikis and don't know exactly what I'm talking about - Featured Video is a video that appears above the content area of articles. Earlier this year, some changes happened so that logged-in users don't see these videos by default, but unidentified users can still see them when visiting wikis.)

If you have any questions about this at all... feel free to ask them!

Hello Fast and Furious Wiki users!

I have been going around informing wikis about Fandom's newest blog about the Global Taxonomy project. To put it simply: the "related pages" between different wikis should start becoming more connected based on the relationship between their content.

So for example, for The Fast and the Furious, if there are articles in common with another wiki, then these would be better connected in terms of sections of recommended pages to visit. Should be exciting - we will be able to start seeing some of this early next year.

For more information, feel free to check the blog post at Community Central.

See you around!
