Frequently asked questions about Community Central.


 * Why are unused files not cleaned up?

UnusedFiles is a minefield. Files that get uploaded on Community Central are used in many ways, and a lot of them are uploaded by Staff or by admins who place them on global templates. Files are 'unused' when they are hotlinked/linked inline using the full address. There are also issues in the unused files listing when a file is placed in a  tag. Therefore, it takes a lot of effort clearing these files, and traditional Dev scripts will always cause problems.

Wikis are for everyone to help and contribute! This means that you can help users out and make tweaks to pages. We don't restrict pages from editing except for excessive vandalism, spam or edit warring.
 * Why aren't all pages protected?

Some pages are company pages and don't need to be changed by all users. For example, Choosing Fandom and What is a wiki are key company pages that are not considered part of the user help manual. Most of the other pages are there for archive purposes, or redirect to Help pages.
 * Why are there some pages on the Main namespace, rather than Help?

Generally no. We want to keep Community Central as close as possible to the vanilla experience of creating a wiki - this is the most familiar for all users (and our audience is from all wikis), and we want to keep it that way.
 * Can you install this sitewide script?
