Forum:Recent shift in focus

Hello from FANDOM!

We noticed your recent shift in focus to the community on another network, and wanted to remind your users that you always have a home with us. We know that some of the recent changes in our infrastructure may have been disruptive to some of you, and for that we apologize. We reached out individually to those who would be most affected by the retirement of the older Monobook skin. Of your local community leaders and heavy contributors that have edited in the last few months, we found only a handful (less than 10) of you used that skin. We do hope that the loss of that skin did not factor heavily into your long-term community plans, as the remaining content does look quite good in the default skin; we're happy to work with you on adjusting content which does not.

We saw some other signage on your main page and beyond that some projects were transplanted, but the same notices imply that the content will eventually be merged back here. We were wondering what the overall vision or plan is for transition or collaboration between the two communities. If they're working in concert and this one is remaining very active, that would be helpful for us to be aware of.

Finally, we did see the concern raised that FANDOM will try to eject original content communities, and we'd like to assure you that we have no such intentions or desires. While true that more of our attention goes to communities that cover published properties, we know that creativity and original ideas and collaboration are key to any community. We do not want to displace any work that has already been created, and we hope that it will stay safely intact with us for years to come. We're not sending anyone away, and hope the users that wish to remain here with us (or come back) can do so without any hard feelings. In other words, everyone is still welcome! And of course, new worlds can always be constructed here with us.

If you have any questions or concerns, our door is always open. Thanks, and happy editing! — FishTank (wall) 17:12, June 11, 2018 (UTC)
