User blog comment:Mira Laime/Moderators Without Borders — a New User Group is Coming/@comment-31045736-20170819141320/@comment-26339491-20170821220830

FANDOM staff will decide which wiki communities should receive help from global Discussions moderators. We'll find those communities in need through requests by users, for one via the requests page Original Authority linked, and through user requests that reach us on other channels, e.g. via app feedback. And staff have tools that can give us data on where there is a particularly active Discussions community without active moderators.

We've already seen many times that abandoned Discussions communities tend to try and self-organize after a while if no one looks after them. Even if it's mostly app users who don't know how the rest of the wiki works and who don't know how to find and contact the admins, they start to look around for possible solutions, and usually find their way to staff. I'm confident we will hear about all hose Discussions communities that really need the new group's help.
