Forum:Wikistickies

Hi all,

Just a quick note about the disappearing Wikistickies. These were an experimental feature that we hoped would encourage people to contribute to articles. Sadly, it didn't work - very few people have used them, and they don't seem to have encouraged contributions.

But they did help us in understanding more about what new editors want (and don't want) to do on the site. For example, we've found that newbies are more likely to edit popular pages than they are to edit new pages. So we created automatic lists of most popular pages, which now show on the Wikia main page and the hubs. We hope these will help people more readily find pages they want to edit.

So, the experiment is over, and Wikistickies are gone. Thanks to everyone for trying them out and giving your feedback. It's been very helpful to us all! -- sannse (talk) 19:20, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * One response... YAY! The only thing I did find helpful was the spell checking thing.. but I hardly used that, considering I dont use MyHome either.. please kill that? -- Lewis Cawte  (Talk - Contact) 20:13, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
