Fan Feed

Example image of Fan Feed.

The Fan Feed can be found at the bottom of wiki articles on the mobile view. It provides a mix of recommended communities, wiki pages, Featured Videos, Discussions, Fandom editorial content, and more. The content is chosen mostly by an algorithm based on popular Fandom topics, local wikis, and interests.

Fan Feed content

This module, found at the top left corner of the Fan Feed, indicates the top 3 trending articles on the wiki you're currently on. However, when a user is on a trending article, that article disappears from the module, and instead, the 4th most trending article appears in the module. The header color and graphic come from the page header and they are automatically customized from the theme designer. The main page, or any page with a namespace that is not the "Main" namespace, is not included in this module, even if it is the most viewed page in a specific wiki. It doesn't appear on wikis with no pages or with pages without views.

Wiki articles

The Fan Feed displays a mix of wiki articles from the community a user is currently visiting, as well as other related wikis so that even more content can be discovered. The Fan Feed displays the article's title, one of the article's images and the community's name in the card.

Featured Videos

In the Fan Feed, wiki articles that have a Featured Video are identified with a white play button. International wikis with Featured Videos also display some of them in the Fan Feed.

Editorial content

In the Fan Feed, cards with "Fandom" on the gray subtitles are identified as editorial content created by Fandom.

Sponsored content sometimes appears in the Fan Feed, the sponsor listed in the gray subtitles after "Powered by", but no more than one sponsored piece will appear at one time.

Latest changes to the Fan Feed

  • June 2023 - On desktop, the mixed content was removed, and the Fan Feed now only includes content from the wiki you’re currently viewing.
  • April 2024 - The Fan Feed was removed from the desktop experience for pages with less than 200 words of content.
  • August 2024 - As new widgets, like "Recent Images" and "Others Like You Viewed", were added to the right rail, the placement of content suggestions, including those in the Fan Feed, became scattered and confusing. Experiments started to consolidate them into a single, easily identifiable area: the left panel.
  • December 2024 - The Fan Feed was completely removed from all desktop pages. Desktop users who miss the suggestions can find a smaller selection of them on the left panel.
