'''Vanguard''' is a group of Fandom users who have volunteered to help make Fandom's content available on the widest possible range of devices and to help communities learn how to use some of Fandom's more technically challenging products. They have been given additional user rights that allow them access to the MediaWiki and Template namespaces, Fandom-wide.
  +
  +
Beyond portability, some Vanguard teams are focused on other technical challenges, and are knowledgeable in areas such as [[Help:CSS and JS pages|scripting]], [[Help:Search Engine Optimization|Search Engine Optimization]], design and user experience. They are often among the first to try new products that Fandom develops to be able to facilitate and educate on the new products' uses.
