Ser knights!



Recently we've explained our plans around improving & modernizing our wiki product, and how we are testing the use of videos to help create a better user and advertising experience on Fandom. We'd like your help in doing that.



We'd like to run tests around video placement and modernized article styles on Game of Thrones Wiki so we can gather data and user feedback. This will help us create the best product possible and provide a much more modernized and overall better user experience.



For you, this will mean the possibility of illustrating episode pages with videos, or presenting key scenes prominently. And more.



Here is how you can help us with that test:

1. We would like your permission to run video tests on 10 article pages, using placement options like the one on Harry Potter Wiki's List of spells page. Those pages are ones that we can decide together, along with our Content team.

We would like your permission to run tests around changed article styles, like the navigation menu, across the whole wiki. These will change and improve based on your feedback and how your readers react to them

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">We'd be inviting you and all users of this wiki to provide feedback throughout this process. This is a new approach, and while we'd like to work closely on this with the users of our biggest wikis -- incluidng you.

What say you, ser knights? Can we run these tests on your wiki?
