Hi !
I very much like the books however there is one thing that left me quite puzzled and which I can't get my head around. Relating to book 11 (i think, just in case someone wants to stop reading here to not spoil the story).
Rand kills Semirhage by using balefire which normally should erase any activities done by her. However, after her disappearance, he is still missing the hand from the injury of Semirhage's attack.
Is there any explanation to this ?
Thanks for your brilliant minds
I'm wondering what book is y'all's favorite? And if you haven't read all the books yet, which one are you on?
I had a sudden question - "When and where we actually learn that Moiraine is a Damodred?"
Why hasn't egwene's character wiki been detailed? there's like two pages for the last battle. Anyway, these site has been helpful to a new reader like me
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!

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.

Hey everyone! As your Wiki Representative, I'm here to help keep you all up to date with what's going on around Fandom. So here's a roundup of recent announcements and events.
Quick overview:
Trivia Quizzes will be expanding and customized for wiki pages.
March is Women's History Month and we're celebrating representation in media.
MediaWiki 1.37 upgrades are are starting this month. Visually the wiki should be pretty much unchanged.
February was Black History Month, and we ended the month with a cool panel.
Fandom Stands with Ukraine and is making donations to humanitarian efforts.
Trivia Quizzes are expanding on Fandom!
Users who visit Fandom will start seeing trivia quizzes on our top wikis, and the quizzes will be directly relevant to the page topic. These will initially only be visible to logged-out users, so it won't impact your regular logged-in user experience just yet. The ultimate goal is that all logged-in users will be able to create a quiz through the new quiz creation tool, but for now they can be set up by Staff.
If anyone would like to help create a quiz for this wiki to appear on a particular page, talk to me! As a Wiki Representative, I can help implement customized quizzes.
It's Women's History Month!
We're celebrating the accomplishments of women and the representation of women in media. Fandom is committed to breaking the bias through our active efforts of inclusion, and we’re calling everyone in and inviting you to amplify and unify your voices as we break the bias together.
Fandom is also spotlighting creators, IPs, and women behind-the-scenes at Fandom that break the bias by forging a path that supports women's equality.
Who are your favorite female characters and creators? Tell Fandom on the blog post!
Fandom will be upgrading to MediaWiki 1.37.
We're currently on MediaWiki 1.33, and the upgrading begins this month. This should be a fairly easy update, especially when compared to the massive transition to the Unified Community Platform (UCP).
This is not a change to the site’s design, so the wiki will look the same. There may be minor visual tweaks here or there as extensions are updated, but otherwise the wiki should pretty much look just as it does now. The update may affect CSS customizations, and as your Wiki Rep, I'm here to assist with that as well.
In case you missed it, February was Black History Month, and Fandom rounded out the month with a fantastic panel about Black Voices & Content in Genre IP. Check it out on Twitch!
Fandom is a global community, and many of us are feeling this conflict personally. Fandom stands with Ukraine and we are donating to key humanitarian organizations.
