Sometimes independent trends could account for it, but you might think the cause was the design change. To clarify, there hasn't been a decline in traffic. We're going to A/B test the smaller module to make sure there isn't a decline in traffic.

It's not like removing the TFA module or making it smaller completely makes it inaccessible to those who want to read them. Trending Fandom Articles are seen by readers at the top of the page, whereas for the Fan Feed you have to get to the bottom of the page. Not everyone makes it that far.
