Hey all. This is a medium-sized update, so I figured a forum post is in order.

We’ve removed Hero Image functionality from Wikia. We got a lot of feedback on it - both positive and negative - and we want to reintroduce similar functionality at some point in the future, but this was always intended to be a test. Apologies in advance if there are some CSS blips that crop up as a result of its removal.

This was originally designed to be a replacement for Special:Promote, and I’m happy to tell you that we’ve ported that functionality into the Edit Mobile Main Page feature.

Special:Promote has been retired; it leads to a 404 now. All the data and media you previously uploaded to Special:Promote has been maintained.

We gathered a lot of data from this test and we really appreciate those communities who helped us test it out. Please leave your questions and comments below!
