Hello people of the wikia!

Anyways, in this short little thing, I am going to outline my hopes and plans for the wikia. We have made a TON of progress with pages, but there are still a few things I think we could improve on.

The biggest thing that needs to be improved on right now in my opinion is categories. There are a ton of categories that do not belong on the wikia, I think that we need to re-do the good category guide and start from scratch. This would include input from both admins and the community, but I don’t think we should vote on each category removal one by one like we usually do. We should create a new list of good categories, and then delete all others.

Another thing that I have noticed that we need to work on is unnecessary content in pages. This usually means trivia points and photos. We need to have a set guide for what photos should be in the gallery of song pages. Trivia is a little harder to manage, but i’m sure we can come up with something.

I also think that we need to change the way proposals work. Right now it’s really loose, and I don’t think that is working very well. I think that in order to vote on a proposal, you must have been on the wikia for a certain amount of time, and have a certain amount of mainspace edits. You should also explain why you are voting the way you are. We should also create a standard for how many supports or points a proposal/application needs to be accepted.

Those were my plans for the wikia. The following are hopes I have, meaning things that I realistically don’t think would be possible, but think are good ideas.

I think we need to have a talk about under aged users. Wikia’s rule is 13+ only, but we have been very loose with that. However, although there are many mature underaged users, it's undeniable that a quite a few of underaged users are quite immature. I think we should have a discussion about an official age limit for the wikia.

I also would like to get rid of fan pages like Song Suggestions. There are only a few, but they really do not belong on the wikia :/ This one really is a hope, I don’t think this is going to happen, I just think it is a good idea.

I would like to thank you guys so much for your support. I enjoy going on to the wikia every day, and I love our community. Even though I have only been regularly editing since 2015, I have been visiting the wikia basically daily since 2013. I have really enjoyed seeing the wikia grow. Thank you so much guys for making our wikia an amazing place to visit :)
