Hi Forbym,

It took a while, but I was finally able to pull up some of the data relating you the question you had under the local nav best practices blog.

Special:Community does not usually appear under Popular Pages, nor should it. Only a tiny fraction of Fandom's visitor are even remotely interested in editing - most just want to look up information on the wiki's topic - so it's not relevant to the vast majority of visitors. RecentChanges, Special Pages or Insights won't and should't appear under Popular Pages either.

However, what's most important is whether or not Special:Community helps turn visitors into editors, and the data indicates that it does: While only 0.05% of Fandom's visitors edit in general, 4.7% of people who look at Special:Community edit.

We are still looking into more data around this and may follow up with more findings, but at least this first analysis supports that Special:Community is a good resource for gaining more editors, should be kept up-to-date and linked prominently.
