Wiki Modernization Overview

Reducing the Number of Ads


 * We released a new ad layout that has fewer ads on the site.
 * This new layout reduces the number of ad units on FANDOM by 30%.
 * This improves the design and speed of wiki pages.
 * The ad layout we chose was released after extensive testing across the site.
 * Featured Video and site design changes enabled us to reduce the number of ads.

Featured Videos


 * Featured Videos are about the subject of the page, on-topic, and relevant.
 * Featured Videos are placed near the top of article pages (examples: Alec Ryder, Newt Scamander).
 * Featured Videos also appear on mobile web.
 * Ads in front of Featured Videos helped us to reduce the number of ads on the site.
 * Videos autoplay (with the sound muted) and minimize when you scroll. You can disable autoplay in the video player’s settings for 2 weeks.

Page + Article Header Redesign


 * We tested a redesigned page and article headers on several communities.
 * The logged in and logged out versions have slight differences because these two groups of users have different needs.
 * The final product was released on June 13th to all FANDOM wikis. It was released to Discussions on July 27th.

Other Design Changes


 * We released modernized versions of key right rail modules. More modules will be modernized soon.
 * The Fan Feed, located at the bottom of the page, was updated to include wiki pages, community discussions, editorial content, Featured Videos, and wiki spotlights.
