User blog comment:Ducksoup/Why Wikia Evolves/@comment-9380534-20150618165546

I'm perfectly jolly with the fact that Wikia wants to keep evolving, and growing to help users. It's a good goal! However, I horribly despise when the majority of the user's opinions and views have little affect on new features. This year alone: the new global nav, breakpoints and typogrophy, etc...

You recently released a thread asking for user's inputs and knowledge in making new infoboxes. Now that's a fantastic thing, as you get to see what users really want/need. But I must then ask myself, "Surely, why isn't this more common? Why aren't users asked for their input, feedback, etc... on drastic changes?"

I understand that the Councilor group is supposed to be a voice for communities, but I feel that public threads, like the infobox one, should be much more frequent.
