Lady Lostris (attendee)

**Lady Lostris** is the active bureaucrat and administrator of the Avatar Wiki, the wiki where she can be found nearly daily. As side entertainment, she also hops around several other wikis in her capacity as a VSTF member.

## Wikia experience

Lostris got to know Wikia after getting hit by a bus and being forced to lie in bed for eight weeks. Since she was sports-grounded, she needed to find something else to keep her busy. Being a fan of *Avatar* (the cartoon, not the blue people, though they're cool too) and writing her own story that includes bending the elements as well, she Googled for fire-based attacks, which is how she stumbled on the Avatar Wiki. Although she initially stuck around to read a fanon story, after its conclusion, she decided she wanted to try her hand at editing, and one tiny edit ended up creating a still ongoing addiction.

## Trivia

* Lostris' username officially includes "Lady" as a way to let people know that she's female (not that it is a foolproof system, as she has discovered), though she prefers to just be addressed as "Lostris" as the prefix makes her feel old.
* Never attempt to get Lostris to do something useful before 10am unless you have a steaming cup of black coffee to tempt her with.
* Lostris' favorite color is red, favorite number is 3, favorite animal is a tiger, and her all time favorite element is fire.
* Lostris named herself after the main female character in her favorite book *River God* by Wilbur Smith. Ironically, in light of the previous trivia, Lostris means "daughter of the waters".
* Lostris loves the Ancient Egyptian culture.
* Lostris' life goal is to see all the new world wonders.
* Lostris labels her inability to do much with coding beyond "copy/paste/maybe adapt" her biggest shortcoming as a wiki editor.
CAMERAwMUSTACHE

**CAMERAwMUSTACHE**, also known as **CwM** or **Cam**, is a wiki editor and Fandom Star. They are primarily known as a bureaucrat on the Just Dance Wiki, a position they have held since 2019.

## Biography

Cam first discovered Fandom in the early 2010s while searching for more information on LEGO sets and *Phineas & Ferb* episodes. They became an avid reader of both wikis for a bit prior to making an account. In late 2013, they decided to make an account in order to upload pictures of their toys to the Pixar Wiki. A couple months later, they discovered the Just Dance Wiki and became a frequent editor there, and have been editing there ever since. This became their primary wiki and they spend the majority of their time on Fandom there. In 2016, they were elected to be an administrator and this was followed by a promotion to bureaucrat in 2019. Currently, Cam focuses on DEI blogs and clearing maintenance reports such as WantedFiles whenever *Just Dance* is between releases.

## Trivia

* Cam's username and profile picture is a reference to a character they made for a school assignment in 2012 or 2013.
	+ The casing was originally meant to be inverted but that was abandoned due to being unable to log in.
	+ The shortened form of their name, CwM, is also a reference to one of the only words in English that uses w as a vowel.

Fire-Luigi (attendee)

Fire-Luigi is an administrator on the French Zelda Wiki and is currently speaking of himself by using the third person.

## Bio

### Overall

Hi! I'm Fire-Luigi, I'm admin since may 5th of 2013 on the French ZeldaWiki. At this date, I'm 20 years old, and I'm studying chemistry at the High School. I'm very proud to get invited to the Community Central. This is thanks to my referant administrator Sedali, and I'm really grateful to him.

I'm good at image manipulation, I also have some html & css notion. I'm sometime making new templates and coding usefull things. I'm concerned by the evolution of Wikia and want to know what members staff plan to do in the future. I'm also a big fan of the Lazy Load, it's the most awesome thing in the WorldTM ! Seriously, don't you agree ? Being able to put 600 images on a page with no lag thanks to that! It's awesome! ~~It's so great that I'm going to add 500 images to this page and you will not manage to see what is wrotten here~~

### Fantendo

I first started contributing on Wikia in 2010 I guess, or maybe 2011, on Fantendo, because I really love Nintendo and it games, and I found the concept of the Wiki interesting. However, the wiki grew incredibly fast, and I leave it one day because it's too fast for me! (But I still love the concept as well as the infinite imagination of everyone here! Fantendo deserves it success!) I learnt by myself to use tools such as Paint.net and GIMP to transform an image and make the transparency while contributing in Fantendo.

### And now

Now, you can mainly find me on ZeldaWiki, sometime on the French Community Central, but also rarely on Zeldapedia (en). I'm quite active so please do not hesitate to leave me a message if you want!
Infoboxes: Past, Present and Future/Portuguese notes

## Por que usamos infoboxes?

* O que é uma infobox?
	+ Uma coleção de fatos formatada sobre um assunto em específico
	+ Elas são úteis, pois oferecem informações rápidas
	+ Elas fazem parte da cultura de wikis
* Qual é o problema com as infoboxes atuais?
	+ Máquinas não entendem infoboxes muito bem da maneira como são escritas atualmente; elas não aparecem muito bem nos sites móveis
	+ Nós precisamos de ferramentas que nos ajude a construir, personalizar e usar infoboxes em artigos
* O que podemos fazer para entender melhor as informações?
	+ Melhor validação da informação e formatação
	+ Procurar e listar os valores das infoboxes

## Nosso objetivo para o futuro

* Fazer com que as infoboxes sejam fáceis de criar
* Fazer com que as infoboxes apareçam do mesmo jeito em qualquer lugar
* Nova marcação de infoboxes
	+ Nós queremos criar algo que possa ser facilmente entendido por máquinas e pessoas

CamTheWoot (attendee)

CamTheWoot is an admin at the Walking Dead Wiki.

## Bio

Yo,

I'm Cam, also known as CamTheWoot around here. I'm eighteen years old and currently two years into an honors degree in English Literature and Software Development *(strange mix, I know)*. I've been an admin on The Walking Dead Wiki for nearly two years, although I must stress; I'm there for the comics and the game, not the show, the show's the worst thing ever. I also founded Fan Fiction Library Wiki a year or two ago, where my friends and I write and review each other's work, yet we rarely write fan fiction... bit of an issue with naming.

I've never attended a wikia event before now, and I'm looking forward to meeting all of you.

Jak Himself

**Jak Himself** (Jace) has been a bureaucrat and administrator on the *Jak and Daxter* Wiki since summer 2013, and a Councilor as of late 2019. He's also a founding member of the facetiously-named New Wiki Order est. 2018, along with two other councilors (Technobliterator and Tim H), and within that capacity may or may not hold temporary or indefinite admin rights on other various wikis. His work can be seen on all of the NWO-affiliated wikis, being the web designer and developer of the templates and many skins (sans the Lua ports, done by Techno), the one responsible for many/most of the logos, the primary policy writer, template documentation writer, and other advisory contributions. He also made a few things on the Fandom Developers Wiki.

Now onto some personal bio, for which I'll nix the third person POV because I keep forgetting and having to correct myself. Professionally, I'm a front-end web developer, which started merely as a hobby here on Fandom (then Wikia) some 10 years ago. As such, I'm mostly self-taught, though I did pick up an associate's degree in web development last year. I've since been employed full-time doing what I love to do. My major focus in my career is accessibility, performance, and UX advocacy. I consider myself a part-time multimedia artist, knowing my way around Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and Blender.

Some of my hobbies include writing, playing and creating music, and programming. I also enjoy shows and movies, some of my favorites being *Game of Thrones* (RIP), *Star Wars*, and the MCU. Ironically, although I work primarily on a video game wiki, I'm not really into video games. I'm just a sucker for nostalgia. Other shit I'm into in no particular order: dogs, rain, pizza, music, martial arts (~~once upon a time lol~~), road trips, volunteering, politics, so on and so forth. Not to be the internet's biggest and most ~~quirky~~ annoying cliche, but if you know me online and irl, you'll know I'm basically this.

Everything Techno says about being an evil overlord is true.

Building and Strengthening Communities: Growth Strategies/Notes

* Presented by Andrew Naslund (who does everything) and Bert Hall
* work with product managers on feature development, community needs, etc.
* Building your community through content portability: expanding your reach to more readers, making content accessible
* Building your community through better discussions: keeping lightweight contributors around.
* What you want to do and don’t get lost in the details. What you are trying to accomplish main goal.
* Platform/Wikia-side: separating content from dispaly / structuring the content/data
* League of Legends is beautiful.
* Extract data to make relationships
* Chris Pratt is in everything. So connect him to every other film/show he’s in.
* Search will work
* Cross-wiki traffic will increase
* Official and unofficial partnerships
* Firetide not affected by lightning attack
* Signdicate information to youtube channels
* Why is this useful?
	+ Structured metadata. Solve complex template problem. Rich text blog of html. Every section could almost be a thing that is referred to and queried.
	+ Pages that compare other information together and display information.
	+ Creating a bot. Community to community approach for a bot.
	+ Server Side Javascript to do this?
	+ Want to update it in one place and have it affect the entire website
* Tools?
* Translations are an interesting problem, because in context some things don’t make sense.
* What about duplicate content in other languages? Or content that disappears because of HotCat?
* Quentum or Francis is a user that made a gaelic page.
* Benefits and short comings of specific wikia features
* user stories: what do you do now, what would you like to do, etc
* Want more places to have conversations about stuff.
* Should be a place where there can be a fanfiction, fan art, etc on wiki.
* Talking about the uselessness of blogs/comments. But would want some type of discussion
* Talking about other wikis that include other possible ways of presenting data
* Talk about buying out certain websites/host on wiki
* Merge some wikis together since multiple ones aren’t necessary. Plus the main wikis are doing it better.
* Talk bubbles?
* DragonsNet collisium? Characters fighting against each other
* Database not community

Art (traditional and digital), design, books, tv shows, video games and sports (judoka). Anything Halo.

### **Favorite Community**

Destinypedia, Quantum Break Wiki, Halopedia

Espartannoble6

**David**, known as Espartannoble6 on Wikia, is a spanish Helper and Wikia Star. He is also admin and founder of several communities across Wikia.

David was born and raised in Catalonia (Spain). Nowadays, he is studying Fine Arts at *Universitat de Barcelona* and he is also learning Concept Art and 3D animation by himself, although he plans to study video game development once he finishes his current degree. He has a good taste for art and graphic design.

David is very passionate about what he likes, does and works on. He always tries to be positive and he is very persistent. He is a good observer and he likes to learn new things.

### Becoming a Wikian

He discovered Wikia on 2011, when looking for some information about *Halo*. He started editing on Halopedia and later on he became admin at the Spanish Halo Fanon.

On 2014, David became Wikia Star.

* Halo Fanon (admin and bureaucrat)

His username is a combination of the words "Espartano" (*Spartan* in spanish) and Noble6, the main character from *Halo: Reach*.

Anyway, everyone calls him just David.

## Fandom history

Johnny Warren moved his first step into wiki editing by updating and revising content on various wikis. The work on the *Salem* wiki led them to be promoted as a bureaucrat in April 2015. Around the same time, Johnny became a regular editor on hit TV anthology series *American Horror Story*. He was appointed as content moderator in 2016, and later promoted as an administrator in 2017.

Community Central tutorials proved to be an important asset along with a trial and error approach and Johnny adopted the *Taboo* wiki ahead of the series release on January 2017. Whilst trying to keep aforementioned wikis updated and up to Fandom standards, Johnny founded *The Alienist* wiki — later expanded to the other two limited series in the Suspense Collection, *I Am the Night* and *The Angel of Darkness*. This is by far their best wiki-wise achievement and the wiki they are more proud of.

In July 2019, Johnny was invited to join the Community Council. In 2021, they virtually attended their first Community Connect event. A formative and enjoyable experience they replicate for the 2022 and the 2023 editions of the event.

20M61 (attendee)

20M61 is an admin at the Walking Dead Wiki.

## Bio

I am 30+ years old and work as a pawn-shop employee. It's a lot of fun and you really see something new every day.
Long ago, I had a weakness for apocalyptic films. I love zombie-movies. One of my first was "Dawn of the Dead". I tried to watch nearly everything I could get my hands on. One day, I found this nice comic-series "The Walking Dead" by Robert Kirkman. At first, I didn't like that kind of style he is drawing. - I prefer Manga. Something on that comic caught my eyes and I kept reading. I sucked in all Comics available, at that time. Shortly after, I had read everything there was. So I had to wait a month, to get to the next issue. Somehow I found out, that there was a TV-Series. I missed the first series. I googled some more and got to know Wikia as a reference. At that time the German part was quite empty, while the English counterpart was good and informative. As I started to enter some info, I got to know another TWD-Fan. He started our The\_Walking\_Dead\_(TV)\_Wiki and soon after this wikia became still is one of the biggest German communities on The Walking Dead.

My past:

I have earned the highest german school degree you can have (called "Abitur"). After that, I initially wanted to be a Bank Manager. Therefore I did a 2,5 year apprenticeship to become a Bank Manager. A few years after that, there was a minor depression in Business (2007+), so that I decided to go on studying Economics to get a better job. As I finished my Bachelor I really was worn out, but I was happy to have finished this part and got my degree. I tried to get a job. Here in Germany a Bachelor Degree is worth nothing. Nobody knows this degree by heart. They know a Masters-Degree and they know an education. Anyway, as I found this position als pawn-employee, I thought "this could be interesting, as you get to know a whole different view on investing" (bank-people usually only invest in paper - pawn-people only invest in physical things like gold, diamonds, high-class watches etc.). Most important for me was, that I get close contact to my customers, which are in front of me and not just a number on my papers. Its now my 3rd year at that job and I'm loving it! I work a lot of hours and it's sometimes really a hard, but it pays off, to see so many different items, hear the stories and more. - If you want to know more of the things I get to deal with: "hardcore pawn" (american tv-show about an pawn-shop in Detroit) is quite accurate, even though it's not as if I have to call police daily, like they do.

As you might read: I am far away from native english. I got quite bad grades in English class, but I still keep trying every day. Up until today most people I talk to in English, could understand, what I was trying to say.

Infoboxes: Past, Present and Future/German notes

## Warum benutzen wir Infoboxen?

* Was ist eine Infobox?
	+ Es ist eine Sammlung von Fakten, die eine Summe des gesamten Themas anzeigen
	+ Sie sind sehr hilfreich; Fakten in den Infoboxen können einfach gelesen werden
	+ Infoboxen sind Teil der Wiki-Kultur
* Wo liegt das Problem mit den jetzigen Infoboxen?
	+ Die meisten Geräte zeigen die Infoboxen nicht korrekt an
	+ Wir brauchen Funktionen, die uns helfen die Infoboxen in Artikel einzubauen und anzupassen
* Was können wir tun, um Inhalte besser zu verstehen?
	+ Inhalt und Formatierung erkennen
	+ Den Wert der Infoboxen erklären und umsetzen
	+ Auf die Werte der Infobox bezogene automatisch generierte Gallerien und Tabellen benutzen
	+ Wenn Infoboxen auf verschiedenen Geräten korrekt angezeigt werden, ist es einfacher sie in verschiedenen Channeln zu teilen.

## Was sind unsere Ziele für die Zukunft?

* Sicherstellen, dass Infoboxen einfach herzustellen sind
* Sicherstellen, dass die Infoboxen auf jedem Gerät gleich aussehen
* Das Taggen von Infoboxen
	+ Wir wollen Sachen produzieren, die einfach zu verstehen sind von Leuten und Geräten
	+ Von Galerien inspiriert, haben wir eine Vielfalt von Tags entwickelt, die die Infoboxen konsistenter machen
	+ Tags mit 70 % weniger Code
* Umstellung von Infoboxen
	+ Ein Werkzeug zum Umstellen von Infoboxen
	+ Der „Infobox Builder” liegt noch in den Anfängen, wird aber das Herstellen von Infoboxen in der Zukunft einfacher machen
	+ Nächste Schritte: Mehrere Bilder in einer Infobox
	+ Unterschiedliches Aussehen von Desktop und Mobil

Canonical Pages: The Ultimate Portal to the World of Fandom

**Canonical Pages: The Ultimate Portal to the World of Fandom**, presented by VPs of Engineering Adam Goldband and Daniel Grunwell, is your first look at an exciting new idea we've only just begun to experiment with. What are canonical pages and what are our ambitions for them, you might ask? Great question—building off our work on FanCentral last year to build recommendation destinations that don't rely on having to cram more stuff onto a wiki page, canonical pages will serve as a guidepost for casual fans, leading them into an even more immersive Fandom experience by directing them toward all relevant content related to a given topic. They can feature updates on the last wiki edits, news, discussions, and more, as well as recommendations for related fandoms that users may find intriguing. The pages prioritize genres, franchises, shows/games/movies, characters, and the actors who portrayed them to give users a place to find anything they may be looking for about that topic across all of Fandom's brands to enrich their experience.

You'll be the first community members to take a look at where canonical pages could go, and in-person attendees will have the opportunity to provide feedback with a breakout session right after the presentation.

## Trivia

* Having a Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Disney Plus and Sky account is still not enough to feed her series addiction.
* A long, long, time ago, she discovered Star Wars at 10, and she has been a huge fan since then, although she is one of those who dislike the prequels, except Episode III.
* She knows a lot about obscure music, but knows nothing about what's on the radio.
* She needs a lot of coffee to function on a daily basis, like a LOT.
