Hey there - as mentioned by others above, the Lucy experiment (a.k.a. 'FANDOM Creator') is an experimental test feature that we've been quietly working on, alongside other, more 'normal' projects. It is enabled on several public wikis in order to get real-world data on how effective it is.

With it, we're trying out a completely different way of making articles that is much more 'data driven' without requiring coding knowledge, which ultimately may or may not work. We strongly feel this is worth testing, so we've had a small team working on it for a while, and it's still subject to pretty significant changes.

We haven't made plans to switch every wiki to this new style - the very future of the experiment depends on how well it works on test wikis (and failure is an accepted possibility). We will be continuing to keep a close eye on how the test wikis are performing, and we know that it would not make sense to switch everyone to something that performs worse then the current editors.

If you do test it out, we very much welcome your feedback on http://fandom-labs.wikia.com/d (and do check out FANDOM Labs for a variety of background info about the experiment itself).

Thanks!
