What do you think are the 5 most powerful characters in the book (dead or alive)?
March is Women's History Month! This year's theme is embracing equity. Fandom is recognizing women, femme-identifying, and non-binary people and how they build the tables in industries where they often do not have a seat.
Read about Women's History Month in Fandom's blog post:
Embrace Equity with Fandom this Women’s History Month
Fandom Wikis are also taking a focus on women in relation to their wikis, including characters, storylines, cast, crew, and even wiki editors.
Are there any examples from your wiki of women embracing equity that you'd like to share or spotlight? Post in the comments!
Not sure what it means to embrace equity, or how it relates to Women's History Month? I recommend this excellent article on Equality versus Equity!

We also encourage wikis to create a blog to commemorate the month and celebrate characters, creators, storylines, history, and more for BHM. If you do so on any of your wikis, please drop a link here or on JP's blog post above so we can highlight it!

November was Native American Heritage Month
See how Fandom celebrated the history and culture of Native Americans during Native American Heritage Month.
Does Native American Heritage Month have any special significance to you? Did you or any of your wikis do anything to recognize the accomplishments of Native American culture or representation in entertainment? Are there any related areas on your wikis that might be in need of improvement?
Admin Plus Update - The A+ Wiki
Expanding on the Admin+ Program that rolled out this summer, Fandom is introducing something new: the A+ Wiki.
Any wiki where all eligible admins have taken and passed the three Admin+ courses can apply for A+ Wiki status via the application on the Admin+ page. Applications will be reviewed and if accepted, a member of Fandom staff will reach out.
Read about it here:
Introducing Admin Plus (blog post from summer)
Recent releases recap - FanCentral, Mobile theming, Accessibility, and Discussions Abuse Filter
New feature FanCentral is open for beta testing. You can access FanCentral at fandom.com/fancentral/home.
Mobile theming is now available on wikis and can be modified by an admin through the regular theme designer. If you've gone in to make any theming changes lately, you might have noticed that there are now accessibility requirements; these ensure that your wiki themes have enough contrast for readability.
Discussions Abuse Filter was opened for testing in October, and it looks like it's working great! If you would like it enabled on one of your wikis, please reach out to your local Wiki Rep if you have one, or reach out through Special:Contact.
Upcoming
Fandom is working on several new features, here are the ones I'm personally excited about:
Discussions history, with testing starting soon
Discussions report notifications, planned for 2023
Mobile editing improvements
Fandom is planning the next MediaWiki upgrade in the first few months of 2023 to move all wikis to MediaWiki 1.39 (we're currently on 1.37). This continues Fandom's commitment to keeping MediaWiki, the software that powers Fandom, up to date on a regular basis.
