Nightsilver

**Nightsilver** (previously known as **SilverFlight**) is a Wiki Representative of the cross-vertical team at Fandom.

## Bio

She discovered Wikia back in 2012 at a point when pop-culture was at her peak interest. Deciding to indulge her animated movie interest, she journeyed to the fledgeling Disney Wiki; initially she wanted to learn more about her favorite series, although she was gradually compelled to share her trivia knowledge and decided to help the wiki as an extra hand. As an artist, she was the main stylist behind the wiki skins, which would lend itself to her developing CSS skills in the next several years. Her primary goals were to improve content and make it reliable, but after getting to know the community, she would see that users looking after each other was vital for synergy and collaboration. Thus, she made it her goal to help users and wikis evolve into productive, inclusive fandom environments. Working in a larger group taught her how to work with others, and over the years, she joined various groups, including the now-defunct Wikia Stars and Council.

In 2019, she became a Wiki Manager (the then-title for Wiki Representative) for the Movies/TV vertical in order to provide assistance in building other communities. In 2020, she left her home wiki and became a vagabond editor for several sub-Disney wikis and related wikis of interest. Since then, she has met many people on the Fandom platform she is grateful to have known and many in return she has become good friends with.

Nightsilver attended her first live Fandom appearance at Community Connect 2022, and again in Community Connect 2023.

## Trivia

* She loves marine biology and herpetology, having studied it previously. Aquatic reptiles are a major topic she enjoys talking about. Ironically, *Jurassic Park* terrified her when she was younger.
* Possibly because of living in the Northeast, she has a large sweater collection, and as such will wear one in warm weather.
* Her previous username was made on the spot, as silver is one of her favorite colors. She changed it in 2021 to reflect her current professional lifestyle.
* She is a mythology buff. Due to this, fiction that portrays myths inaccurately is a huge peeve for her.
* She has a ton of cartoon fandoms thanks to an impressive memory, but will not remember all of them immediately off-hand.
	+ One of her favorite movies is *Coco* because it surprises her cat, Coco, to hear his name whenever they watch together.
* Her favorite parts of editing wikis are designing themes (CSS, wallpapers, infoboxes, etc.), fiddling with wikitext and templates, tailoring articles with the necessary template and page syntax, and patrolling pages for fact double-checking.
Lucas Garczewski a.k.a. TOR

Tor manages the Community Engineering team, a small group of engineers focused on building and maintaining tools for power users and admins, as well as on maintenance and the occasional firefighting.

He's also traditionally been blamed for Wikia outages, since somebody has to be that guy…

## History

Tor has a background in linguistics (the study of language), and has worked as a freelance translator before joining Wikia in 2007.

At Wikia he's worked in Community Engineering as the team's responsibilities evolved from the initial "OMG, it broke again, Tor, fix plz!" charter to today's robust team of 5 engineers, working on complex new features.

## Community Connect Involvement

Tor is going to talk about the latest admin-focused goodies (Flags) and baddies (JavaScript security), as well as being on hand for any and all of your engineering-related questions.

He also has more than a couple stories to tell from The Old Days.
Quincy Carroll

**Quincy Carroll** was Fandom's Chief Product Officer from 2021 to 2022. Quincy's previous role was from the publisher and ecommerce platform HODINKEE, where he was Chief Product Officer. He also served in that role at Crunchyroll, where he oversaw a Product organization of 200 people during a major growth period for the company. He attended Community Connect 2022 and presented the concept for what became FanCentral.

Community Connect 2020/FAQ

This page will serve as a repository of questions asked by attendees regarding Community Connect 2020 and the best answer available for them. This is an unofficial FAQ gleaned from all available info.

## Travel questions

How will attendees get from the Orlando airport to the hotel?
Uber credits will be issued electronically prior to arrival.
Can we arrange car pooling with other attendees to split the cost?
With the assumption that Uber is what ends up being used, this is currently in the works (attendee-organized/unofficial). There is, of course, no requirement to share a ride with any other user if not desired.
Will the expense of a checked bag be compensated?
One (1) checked bag will be included for tickets where necessary. If you are in need of assistance with a checked bag, please contact the travel agency with the contact information provided in your welcome packet.
Will meals be provided/reimbursed?
The hotel provides a complimentary breakfast. Dinner on Friday and Saturday will be provided for, as will lunch on Saturday. Dinner at the park is covered by your incidentals gift card, though staff travelling with your party may be able to assist more directly.
Should I bring a laptop/tablet? Any other suggested items?
There is no explicit need for a laptop, although you may want one to take notes, etc. (Keep in mind that unlike previous years a loaner will not be available as the sessions will not be conducted in a Fandom office). As far as other items, keep in mind the hotel has a pool so you might want to bring swimwear. Some attendees have discussed bringing their Switch, so some sort of gaming device might come in handy.
## Venue questions

Where is this happening exactly?
The hotel is the Wyndham Garden Lake Buena Vista near Disney World. The sessions will be on-site. Breakfasts and lunches will be at the hotel. Dinners are TBD, though Sunday dinner will be inside Disney World.
What's the weather going to be?
Currently the forecast is going to be 60-80°F (16-26°C) with some cloudy skies expected.
## Disney questions

What should I bring to Disney?
You're allowed to bring in a small or regular school backpack (Jansport or something similar), fewer pockets the better (it will be checked at security). You can have snacks, bottled water, a jacket for when it gets cold out or a poncho for when it rains. All attractions are backpack friendly so no need for lockers.
Note: People who don't have bags can go into the non-bag security lines to be processed faster.

Note 2: Parks have water bottle refill stations so don't throwaway your bottles, you can reuse them if you run out of water.

Could I lose items on attractions?
Some attractions like 'Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith' located at Hollywood Studios or 'Space Mountain' at Magic Kingdom have fast movement, most people lose glasses and hats on these rides.
What time does the park close?
Animal Kingdom will close at 8pm. Most other parks will close at 9pm, except Hollywood Studios which will close at 10pm (Extra Magic Hours, included with your hotel stay). Continuous shuttle service will return you to Disney Springs until 12am.
Ejyh

## Dev

**Ejyh** is an administrator on Polish wikis connected to the Monster High, Ever After High and Winx franchise and on the English Junji Ito wiki. She joined Fandom in January 2014, dedicating a lot of her free time (which was a lot, as a teenager who didn't do anything for school) to creating OCs.

## Less formal hello

Hi!

My name is Natalia, but I prefer to be called Dev. My current username was basically created by smashing random letters on my keyboard, so I don't really associate myself with it, but nostalgia is a strong force and I don't have the guts to change it. I use she/her pronouns, although I don't mind they/them pronouns either. I started my Fandom adventure when I first discovered a Monster High wiki, albeit it wasn't about the main show - you could actually create your own characters there - and my creative little young teenage self was hooked. Since then I became an administrator on the Polish Ever After High Wiki, Ever After High Własne Postacie Wiki, Monster High Własne postacie Wiki, and Fanowska Winx Club Wiki. As you can see, I really enjoy creating stuff based around magical/fantasy themes and in the universes of nostalgic 2000s/2010s franchises. On the other spectrum, I really enjoy horror media, although I am jumpy and skittish. My personal favorite creator of horror is Junji Ito - my love for his works is the main reason I became an admin on the wiki dedicated to them.

I am a native speaker of Polish and (I like to think that I am) fluent in English. I used to study English philology, but uhhhhhh... that didn't work out for me. Right now I'm aiming to study something art related, which is pretty hard with a critically low self-esteem.

My main interest are games (fantasy RPGs like Skyrim, Dragon Age Franchise, farming simulators like Stardew Valley, My Time at Portia, and the Sims franchise), reading (mostly mangas and LGBTQ+ centered stories), K-pop (fav groups include Twice, G-Idle, Dreamcatcher, Weki Meki, Itzy, EXID, KARD and more), and art.
Bennett Blood Mage18

**Bennett Blood Mage18**, or **Bennett** for short, is a recent Fandom Councilor (July'19) and *long-time* editor that eventually became an administrator for the The Vampire Diaries Fandom community. I'm so thankful for the opportunity to be invited to both the 2020 and 2021 Community Connects. Both have been a great opportunity to meet other admins and editors on the platform and to have those indepth converstations with community Staff.

## History

Bennett began his editor experience as (hopefully) a helpful anonymous user at The Vampire Diaries community - off and on again for an untold number of years. Eventually, I officially joined in September 2014 with my own account blundering through his first few edits, page creations and uploads though has become a much more experienced editor. He joined Community Council in July 2019. He doesn't edit on too many wikis, opting for many meaningful edits to one or two. However, he does watch a lot of TV and will chat about many - specifically if the show has or is about magic or has witches. For a fun fact, his username is an amalgamation of two concepts. The first is 'Bonnie Bennett' from The Vampire Diaries' Bennett Family of powerful witches. The second part is from Dragon Age, where "Blood Magic" is a mage specialization; i.e. a 'Blood Mage'. Therefore, ***Bennett Blood Mage18*** was created, though you can call me "Bennett" if the name is a bit long.

**Инфобоксы: Прошлое, Настоящее и Будущее**

На этом семинаре польский инженер Якуб расскажет о работе об инфобоксах и том, что ожидать от них в будущем.

## Что такое инфобоксы и что мы хотим от них

* Что такое инфобокс? Инфобокс это систематически оформленный источник важной информации, который даёт читателям возможность быстро узнать общую информацию о предмете
* В инфобоксах находится информация, которую должны понимать компьютеры
* Мы хотим, чтобы информация в инфобоксах использовалась умело, и для этого мы мы будем работать над следующим:
	+ Инструменты для создания, оформления и использования инфобоксов в статьях
	+ Проверка и оформление информациии
	+ Поиск и выполнение запросов по данным инфобоксов
	+ Галереи и таблицы, созданные автоматически с помощью данных из инфобоксов
* И, конечно же, мы хотим, чтобы инфобоксы отображались на всех устройствах (модульность)

## Решения

* Создание инфобоксов наподобие галерей, которые удобны для чтения и понимания как людям, так и компьютерам
* Единая для всех инфобоксов разметка; компактный код, размещение CSS на страницах CSS, а не на страницах с инфобоксами
* Внедрение инфобоксов в Визуальный редактор
* Новый инструмент для создания инфобоксов-шаблонов (на данный момент находится на ранних стадиях разработки), который поможет пользователям создать шаблоны для \*инфобоксы и, возможно, добавлять таблицы и табберы

## Что мы хотим от участников?

* Впечатления и отзывы пользователей, например на: http://infobox.wikia.com
* Мы хотим узнать, что мы можем сделать для того, чтобы продолжать модифицировать инфобоксы в соответствии с техническими требованиями и пожеланиями участников и сообществ

Community Connect

Looking to hear the latest and greatest from Fandom? **Community Connect has you covered!**

The Community Connect Wiki is all about Fandom's yearly editor event, Community Connect, where admins from around the world come together to meet in-person with Fandom staff and hear about what Fandom is working on over the coming year. Hear you can learn about the attendees, staff hosts, and everything you need to know about the latest Community Connect.

## What is Community Connect?

Community Connect is a Fandom community event that was first held back in 2015 at our old San Francisco office (we’re still in SF, just in a different location). Prior to then, we’d had a number of successful admin visits to our office, where a few admins from one wiki at a time would come and visit. Marvel Database, DC Database, Wookieepedia, and Memory Alpha were among them. They became a great way to have those admins and our staff get to know each other better, and have pretty constructive conversations about feedback, pain points, and where we were going as a company. Not that we didn’t have constructive online conversations, but so much gets lost in a text-based conversation: nuance, emotion, and intention among them.

So we figured, why not do it with even more communities all at once? And so in September 2015, we launched our first ever Community Connect where we brought 26 admins to the office to hear and talk about a wide range of topics around the community experience, product development, social media, and more. We held it again twice in 2016, once in San Francisco and once near our office in Poznan, Poland. It went on hiatus after that, but we brought it back in January 2020—just under the wire before the world started to close down. For that event, we brought fifty admins to Orlando, Florida and had a great time sharing our plans, hearing really helpful feedback, and hanging out at Disney World. The event was a hit, and even as we shifted to virtual for two events in 2021, it got great feedback from attendees. We returned to in-person events, with a livestream, in 2022 when we held Community Connect in Los Angeles.

This year, for Community Connect 2023, we’re holding the event from April 23rd to April 27th. It will be in Atlanta, Georgia, and we're streaming it live for those not attending in-person!

Eric Moro

Eric is the VP of Content, which is a fancy way of saying he helps lead Wikia’s fan content programming strategy, surfacing and further developing dynamic experiences around its already robust and engaged superfan communities. More specifically, he lead efforts to amplify Wikia’s naturally strong community voice by curating and cultivating content, as well as creating broader industry partnerships. In addition, he oversees the editorial strategy and product for Fandom, which launched earlier this year.

## History

Before joining Wikia, Eric was the Editor in Chief of the Movies, TV, Blu-ray and DVD channels for the popular entertainment website IGN.com. Eric has extensive experience producing unique, compelling editorial content covering the entertainment industry, pop culture and movies. Prior to his work with IGN, Eric was Editor in Chief of both the print and online versions of Now Playing Magazine, as well as the Executive Editor for Midnight Productions, which produces several publications covering the broader entertainment industry as well as independent film.

An interesting sidebar to his career in Hollywood, Eric also served as the Unit Publicist for cult favorite films Napoleon Dynamite and Boo.

## Community Connect Involvement

Eric is looking forward to meeting all of the attendees and introducing them to the world of Fandom. He'll be participating in the following U.S.A. sessions:

* Ask Me Anything Panel Session
* BETA. Fan Editor Program: An Open Forum
* State of Fandom Contributor Tools
* Video Reporting in the Fan Contributor Program
* What is Fandom and the Fan Contributor Program
Erica Barnett

### **Hobbies**

Entertaining a couple of toddlers, video games, writing prolific emails, finding adventures, and falling asleep while streaming the latest recommendations.

### **Favorite Community**

Titanic Adventure Out of Time

Erica joined Fandom in the fall of 2021 with the goal of enhancing the fan experience. Collaborating across teams with laser focus on opportunities to introduce fans to products and features that are, if not life changing, at least pretty freaking cool. Previously, she worked on video games and as a radio DJ. You may know her from such titles as Dungeon Overlord, Gold Fish Casino, or as Erica Rae, the host of the #1 rated, weeknight 80s music show in the Dubuque, Iowa metro area.

## Nerd History

Erica's nerdom was a product of her childhood. Living in rural Iowa meant entertainment was limited to the outdoors or endlessly viewing the original Star Wars series on VHS, imagining Hobbits as some sort of humanoid-badgers based on Tolkien's description, staying up late to catch an episode of Star Trek Voyager, playing the same 3 games on the previous gen console, becoming weirdly obsessed with The Titanic, or pretending to despise Power Rangers during her younger brother's daily commandeering of the only television.

She spent many years embracing her nerdiness by diving head first into MMOs, having an Avengers themed wedding, and naming her first born after Link.

These days, Erica is more well versed in Numberblocks, Disney Jr., and PBS Kids, but tries to balance it out by keeping up with Better Call Saul, The Boys, and the latest in the MCU.

## Responsibilities at Fandom

Erica is a Product Marketing Manager who focuses on getting the right message to the right people at the right time. Fandom has such a vast offering, and the potential to be a top destination, it's up to her to improve how we talk to Fans about the power that lies beneath the surface.
Pippinitis

**Pippinitis** is a Fandom Star and administrator of the Apple Wiki and Six Flags Wiki, joining on 10 April 2017 during the Wikia days.

## History

Pippinitis is an anal-retentive burnout who previously functioned as a Triple Crown editor at Wikipedia (under a different account name), but disengaged to avoid unfortunate attempts at being doxxed. They then found refuge at Wikia (now Fandom) due to its relative lack of red tape to pursue pedantic topics of niche interest.

Pippinitis's involvement in Fandom grew with a combination of taking on administratorship of the Apple Wiki during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic... and having a bad habit of rescuing wikis of niche topics if they matched their own interests. More recently, Pippinitis experienced a life-threatening medical emergency, in which time spent on Fandom (while cooped up in the ICU) became a factor in the recovery process.

Outside of spending too much time at theme parks and on the interwebs, Pippinitis is a published author, game designer, and media producer.
Community Connect 2020

Community Connect 2020 is an invite-only gathering for admins of both new and established wikis to meet and connect with one another, as well as Fandom staff from our Growth, Product and Marketing teams. The goal of the event is to facilitate a direct, in-person dialogue with a mix of contributors to get a better understanding of what is important to them, and to share insights to our product roadmap for the development of the Fandom platforms.

During the 3-day event, admins have the opportunity to participate in work sessions centered around Fandom's plans for the coming year, including product vision, changes and improvements to the site, mobile productivity, community best practices, and more.

To see everything everything related to Community Connect 2020, visit Category:Community Connect 2020.

## History

Justyna worked with the engineering teams in Poznań, Poland, most recently focusing on the the Unified Community Platform.

Community Connect was her 6th work trip to the US. She feels very guilty experiencing the Disney World attractions without her children (2 and 4). At the same time, uninterrupted sleep is nice.

### **User name**

Springteufel

Julia ist part of the Community Development Team for the German communities and focuses on entertainment topics. Her user name is *Springteufel*.
Writing editorial content together with Wikians is her passion. She also creates funny contests or seeds Wikis with a personal touch and leaves them into the "wild" afterwards. They grow up so quickly!
She is also in touch with the Community Support Team and keeps a constant exchange with the Product Team.

## History

Her Smartphone and Julia are merged together and they have never been seen separated! Notable Skill: She is the fastest typer with one finger on smartphone keyboard (at least she knows)! There is not really a time when she is offline. After collecting tons of Pokémon cards, playing Game Boy and and watching Sailor Moon, the Internet entered her home and she also lived her fandom online since then. For a long time she was part of several Anime and Music Forums, chatted until sunset and found many friends and realized surprised: WOW, there are many more people like me out there!

Fascinated by Online Media she also wrote her Master Thesis about Communication in the Internet and worked for Online Communities before she started working for Wikia.

## At Community Connect

Julia is co-facilitating a session about "Community Central" with her colleague Andrea. She is part of the Team about "How Social Media Can Help Your Community" and "Main Pages: Desktop and mobile" together with Bert and Tim and really excited to meet Wikians from all those different communities and especially six Admins from german Wikis!
Emitewiki2

**Emitewiki2**, also known as **Ethan Whitted** in real life, is an editor, administrator, and founder of various wikis. He has a huge passion for preserving information and wants to continue doing it for the rest of his life.

## Fandom History

Emitewiki2 began editing Fandom (then Wikia) in 2011 during his cringy days on the Lego Star Wars Wiki. He really enjoyed it there and became an admin, editing the wiki with only one other active editor for a number of years. His original username was simply "Emitewiki" but he was accidentally logged out one day and forgot his password, so he created a new account with the number '2' added on to the end.

Emitewiki2 eventually moved to the Nitrome Wiki where he encountered a great online community that he became friends with over years of editing. He was also elevated to the status of administrator on this wiki, and continued to lead the charge in documenting all information about Nitrome along with a team of other spectacular admins.

During all of this time, Emitewiki2 continued contributing to and founding other various wikis which he is too embarrassed about to share about here. The one ongoing project that he founded and is most proud of is the Chirs Hastings Wiki, which he continues to work on as a small side project to this day.

Around the time that he began attending university, Emitewiki2 began losing almost any amount of time he had to edit wikis and became very sporadically active. After a number of failed attempts at re-dedicating himself to the Nitrome Wiki, he eventually accepted that things would never go back to the way they had been in his younger and less busy years, and picked up editing the Marvel Wiki when he had available time.

In the present, he currently continues to edit the Marvel Wiki, making larger content edits that don't necessarily rack up a huge edit number. He has helped bring attention to different large-scale ways in which the community can improve their wiki for readers. He continues to be involved and monitor discussions about wiki changes in addition to just writing content.

## Personal History

   In real life, my name is Ethan Whitted and I am from Oregon, United States. I am quite social and am big into travelling, reading ancient literature, playing video games, learning history, and eating popcorn. Please ask me about any of those things! I guarantee I will always be down to have a conversation about any of those topics at any time. :) I have been obsessed with preserving information for a long time now, and editing wikis is a great outlet for that. I work in the tech industry (doing programming and product management) and also attend university at the same time. One day I'd love to actually work at Fandom! But until that time I will have to settle for commenting on their blog posts and attending their events.

On the Yandere Simulator Wiki he became an Admin within his first few days and became a Bureaucrat within his first few months. He has remained on the wiki long after the Founder left.

In January 2018, he began speaking with the next 2 highest rank staff members of the Yandere Simulator Wiki (the Head Content Mod and Head Discussion Mod) to create a new form of wiki governance that would split powers between 2 councils. This system went into effect on January 20th with the first meeting of the Council of Administration. As of February 2021, this system has been in use for 3 years.

## History

### **User name**

ChickenLover21

***ChickenLover21*** is a Fandom site-wide editor and bureaucrat of the Angry Birds, Rovio Entertainment and Doodle Jump wikis.

He helps out with many wikis across the platform and reports vandalism to the global SOAP team.

## Background

ChickenLover21 joined the fandom platform in June of 2018 through the Fandom mobile application. While he only joined a few wikis through there, the account will lay dormant until June of 2020 when the global COVID-19 lockdowns forced many people onto the internet. When finding out an "Angry Birds Wiki" existed on the Fandom platform, he regained access to the account and started contributing to said community. While making contributions, he received promotions from a former staff member and contributed more as a result.

While looking to join other communities in late 2021, he discovered a "Rovio Entertainment Wiki" founded by a user on the Angry Birds Wiki. Chicken promised this user that he would help design the wikis theme and templates, so he was later promoted to an administrator role.

One day when searching through the Fandom platform in early 2022, Chicken found out there were 4 different types of "Doodle Jump" wiki communities that laid either abandoned or vandalized by account-less users. He later contributed to the one with the most articles and submitted an adoption request. When the request was successful, he helped create articles and format the site with (in some cases) the assistance of Fandom staff.

## Trivia

* He has raised 19 chickens throughout his lifetime.
* On September 16th 2022, Chicken was accepted into the Fandom Stars program.

 Espécie

**Bruce Banner** é um renomado cientista que, na tentativa de recriar o Soro do Super-Soldado que foi usado no Capitão América na Segunda Guerra Mundial, acabou criando uma fórmula que o faz se tornar um enorme monstro verde e raivoso quando está com raiva, conhecido como o Hulk.

## Biografia

### Adolescência

Bruce estudou na Universidade de Harvard quando adolescente, e se apaixonou por uma "incrível garota".

### O Hulk

Segundo Nick Fury, diretor da SHIELD, Bruce estava tentando replicar o Soro do Super-Soldado que foi o responsável em transformar Steve Rogers no Capitão América, porém o experimento deu errado. Os níveis de radiação gama na fórmula eram altos de mais, portanto, toda vez que Banner se enfurece, ele se torna um enorme monstro verde e raivoso, conhecido como Hulk.

### Caçado pelo governo

Fury também revelou que, algum tempo após se transformar no Hulk, Banner começou a ser caçado pelo governo americano.
Geoff Benson

## History

I've been both a gamer and a programmer for as long as I can remember. I love games in all their various forms: video games, board games, CCG's... you name it. And I'm a big fan of bizarre or obscure titles, too.

I've self-published two card games and a number of web games. I also have the rather dubious honor of having self-developed and self-published the first "real" MMORPG on the App store back in the day (it's no longer live, sadly).

Prior to Wikia, I've worked at Xfire (an instant messenger for gamers back before Steam was even a thing), Zynga, and Skyfire (the world's biggest 3rd-party mobile browser for a good run there), among other places.

## At Community Connect

My team and I are at the forefront of Wikia's modernization and forward-looking efforts, acting as scouts and building a bridge from where we are now to where we might want to go. With that as the context, I'll be speaking about that work and what possibilities it presents for Wikia's distant future.
