User blog:CrsBenjamin/So long, and thanks for all the fish

Today marks the final day of my tenure here at Fandom. I first started my journey supporting wikis as a contributor and as someone who felt passionate about the collaborative process of creating wiki resources and wanting to support those communities. That passion is something I never lost through the seven years I worked at Curse, and later Fandom, and always was a touchstone for the work I did.

I’ve always found wikis to be an amazing type of content platform. Built on a foundation of open collaboration, hundreds of thousands of people (including most/all of you) have dedicated their time and efforts to making knowledge and information available to anyone with an internet connection since wikis were first “invented” about 20 years ago. Every single day millions of people come and utilize the work that you contribute, and that’s something you should take a lot of pride in.

Working with the Gamepedia and Fandom communities has been an amazing experience. There is so much passion and knowledge represented in our editor community, and I’ve always felt so lucky to have been able to help nurture and grow that, and to be a part of such an awesome group of people.

I just want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all you have done, and all you continue to do. As a frequent consumer of gaming wikis, you might still see me contributing and, if you don’t see me, know that I’m certainly using wikis of all varieties on a daily basis!

“So long, and thanks for all the fish!”
