@Bluesdriver Bots can be created by anyone, but you must have permission from a wiki's admins/moderators to use one on a wiki (and it needs to be added to a special "Bot" usergroup). More info about bots can be found here: Help:Bots. By the way, I have since spoken with someone who explained how to use a bot to create articles. I now understand the concept, and could probably write a script to create a batch of articles, if that ever happens to be the community's decision.

@Dee I agree, it's a good idea to take wiki users' feedback into consideration for the design of the wiki. I am interested to see how users would respond to a poll like you mentioned. Also keep in mind that Fandom has done a lot of internal testing and experimentation (and there have also been separate, independent studies) to track how vistors navigate wikis, what makes the experience a good one, and what types of things keeps them coming back. A lot of this information has been used to produce (and referenced within) a series of best practises blogs by Fandom staff.

On a side-note: It may interest some to know that admins and staff have insight into the content visitors to the wiki value most, through the wiki's analytics. For example: within the past 30 days, users have searched the most for "Ice Palace" and "Moon Gate", telling us (as no surprise) that a high number of visitors are interested in information about the latest game events. The "Temple", "Hotel" and "Station" are some more of the most popular search terms.

As far as the pages that get most traffic are concerned, those would be Locations, as the most popular page, followed by many of the game's event articles. This backs up the mentality (again, probably as no surprise) that the majority of visitors to this wiki are searching for and visiting event-related articles. It would therefore make sense that easy acces to this information should be a prominent part of the design process. - Sitb ( Message wall / Talk page )  23:45, January 17, 2020 (UTC)
