Here are the release notes for Fandom's code release scheduled for December 4, 2019:


 * NOTABLE: We will be removing the Android Community Apps from the Google Play store next week, following the removal of the iOS apps earlier this year. We strongly recommend switching to the Fandom app if you haven't already!
 * NOTABLE: We will permanently redirect anonymous users from file pages (those ending in ) to the first article page where a file was used, to improve Fandom's valuation by search engines like Google. Those users can still find important file information such as its description, licensing and source in the image lightbox. This change does not affect logged-in users. For more context on this change, please see this forum thread.
 * FIXED: When a wiki has Special:Forum enabled, it is now possible for wiki-style forums to be used at the same time (after a request to remove the archived status).
 * FIXED: When globally blocked, the displayed "intended blockee" field is no longer empty in some situations.

Note: we currently have fewer user-facing updates to Fandom's current platform, because some development resources have shifted over to work on Fandom's updated software platform.
