Forum:What is the Community Council (council) user group on Community?

There appears to be a new user group Community Central called Community Council. Anyone know what it is, what it is for, or what the criteria for being on the council are? -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 21 Jul 2011 9:02 PM Pacific


 * They are basically beta testers. They get to see new products early and give their opinion on them. Wikia invites users to join kind of randomly. Sarah said she was going to make a help page for them soon.--

They are a group of wikians randomly selected by wikia staff to test new products of wikia. --TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 04:06, July 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * They're not randomly selected, per se - were you to look each of them up, you'd notice a few patterns. But yes, they are beta testers, and it's by invitation only.

 * The way we test the new products, is via a private wiki set up for us. The wiki was created in December of last year, but the first product for testing, the editor redesign, began on April 23rd. So I presume the latter date was the date the Community Council began operating. Rassilon of Old (Talk - Teru) 05:17, July 22, 2011 (UTC)

 * "New" meant new to me, not everyone, of course. Those involved and who created it would know. I still wonder what the criteria are. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 22 Jul 2011 10:30 AM Pacific


 * New means really products that wikia just made for the Community Council to test. TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 18:53, July 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * No ben, the council tests the new products before they are released to the general public such as the editor redesign.--


 * Thats what i said, i said new products JUST MADE by wikia not handed out to the public wikians. TheBen10Mazter  (Talk -Blog -Contribs)  19:05, July 24, 2011 (UTC)
