Wiki Modernization Overview

Reducing the Number of Ads


 * We are running tests to reduce the number of ads on FANDOM.
 * The goal is for every page on FANDOM to have fewer ads than they do now.
 * That way, page performance is better.
 * Pages with Featured Videos have even fewer ads than pages without.

Featured Videos


 * Featured Videos are about the subject of the page, on-topic, and relevant.
 * Featured Videos are placed near the top of article pages (examples: Alec Ryder, Newt Scamander).
 * Featured Videos also appear on mobile web.
 * Putting ads in front of Featured Videos helps us to declutter the ad experience.
 * Videos autoplay (with the sound muted) and minimize when you scroll. You can disable autoplay in the video player’s settings for 2 weeks.

Page + Article Header Redesign


 * We tested a redesigned page and article headers on several communities.
 * The logged in and logged out versions have slight differences because these two groups of users have different needs.
 * The final product was released on June 13th to all FANDOM wikis. It was released to Discussions on July 27th.

Right Rail Redesign


 * We released modernized versions of key right rail modules.
 * More modules will be modernized soon.
