Fandom Stars is Fandom's creator recognition program. A reboot of a previous program known as Wikia Stars, this new iteration was announced in August 2021 and formally launched in May 2022 at Fandom's Community Connect event in Los Angeles, California, where the attendees became the first group of Fandom Stars. From there on out, Fandom Stars is an application-based program that any Fandom contributor can nominate themselves for.

What is Fandom Stars?
Fandom Stars is the ultimate program designed to recognize and amplify Fandom's most prolific creators. Stars serve as ambassadors of the Fandom community and are able to experience one-of-a-kind opportunities only found on Fandom. Want access to exclusive events? Ready to enjoy star treatment, get early access to platform updates, or even connect with the media? Fandom Stars is the program for you.

As Fandom Stars, program participants are part of a community with creative and curious individuals who go the extra mile to help others and create new and fresh content and fan experiences. Among other things, Stars are leaders in Fandom's community and have a desire to provide groundbreaking content to wikis they contribute to. Their knowledge makes them excellent mentors who can provide resources and tips to fellow community members.

What do Fandom Stars do?

 * Mentor. Mentor other and newer creators on the platform. What makes a community amazing is when members are more focused on helping each other and sharing resources. Be as helpful as possible and everyone benefits!
 * Report. Report on bugs and update content you come across. Making this platform safe and entertaining takes the power of the entire community. If you see something unusual or harmful, share that information with Fandom staff.
 * Recommend. Recommend excellent creators to join Fandom Stars. Tell us about others who might be a good fit for Stars so we can extend an invitation to the program! We want to have a diverse group of creators who are open to learning, growing, and contributing!
 * Participate. Participate positively in discussions and events. You should respectfully challenge ideas when you disagree, and encourage and support Stars members to have the best Fandom experience possible. You can help us make sure that everyone feels safe and rewarded in the Stars community!
 * Contribute. Contribute on and off-platform and be a Fandom ambassador as opportunities arise. Your experience and knowledge will help us as we improve and create more tools to make your experience better.
 * Maintain. Maintain informative edits and add useful photos. Keep doing what you do best as a creator and build and share amazing content. Fandom will be here to support you and provide the tools you need so you can grow as a creator, enjoy the many opportunities offered to Stars, and build communities about entire imagined worlds.
