Dear Vicky, Good that the crew of Wikia is currently trying hard to give insight to the community about what is being done behind the scenes. It helps to comprehend a bit of what is going on and grants you goodwill among the community. That said, i do feel there is a bigger need into documenting changes. A bigger need to make those new features have information on how to use them in snippet like information.

Many things currently available and aimed to help administrators are fairly hard to comprehend when you aren't a guru at wiki coding. That said, having 7 different wiki's which all aim to cover part of what is wiki coding makes it for new people a pioneering the wilderness project to get the best out of their wiki. You got help, dev,htmlcss, admin tools, templates, php, javascript and python (needed for some bots) wiki covering all parts of the wiki experience, but making it nearly impossible to access the best practices easily. Most of them also have only a partial overview and are hard to search through (actually, help wiki is also not easily to sort through imo, while being the most called upon.)

I call upon the development team to think about a solution for this. I have started myself a project about this issue, but since it is only starting up, input is quite helpfull. Thanks for reading this concern.
