User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/Why Fandom Evolves: A Look Ahead in 2017/@comment-460966-20170111213201

Here are some other areas I would like to see Fandom elaborate or improve on:


 * Chat - It's been a few years since there has been any substantial changes to chat. There are some nice scripts on Dev Wiki right now, but it sure would be nice to have multi-PM, more settings, chat topics and other customization tools (whether it be color, bold, italics, etc.) across all Wikis for users without scripts on.
 * Search - You mentioned the trends, but it would be nice to see the most common or high trending search targets on a special page somewhere.
 * Wikia Stats - I miss the old Wikia Stats circa 2009-2012. Insights are great and all, but I like seeing how my communities compare in January 2017 to January 2016 or even further back, in terms of views, active members, number of files, number of pages, etc.
