Celebrating Pride Month 2026
Happy Pride Month, Everyone!
As Pride Month draws to a close, we would like to take a moment to honor the roots of Pride and the movement for equal rights. This month is one to celebrate the broad expanse of the vibrant identities and experiences that encompass the LGBTQ+ community.
Pride is precious. It is a reminder of resilience that has endured the testament of time. Through the thick of it, when united together, our dream for a better world can be accomplished. Progress may not be linear, but it will not always be a downward spiral.
Do not give up.
To quote LGBTQ+ activist Dan Savage, "During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night."
Take joy where yo…
Admin Plus Is Evolving
Hello, you lovely rays of sunshine! I am excited to bring updates to you regarding our Admin+ program!
Almost four years ago, we launched Admin+ with a simple goal: give admins an opportunity to demonstrate what they had learned through their experience helping communities grow.
What started as a way for admins to showcase their knowledge became something much bigger. Thousands of users have participated in the program, earning badges and proudly sharing their achievements with others. Along the way, Admin+ has grown into a foundational educational resource for everyone - a place to strengthen existing skills, discover best practices, and continue leveling up as community leaders.
One of the things I have enjoyed most over the years is seeing…

Celebrating AANHPI Month with Myths and Migrations
Hello all!
In honor of AANHPI Month, we’re taking a closer look at myths & traditions from across Asia & how they live on today, evolving & connecting people all over the world. From the wishes of Japan’s Tanabata festival to the water fights of Thailand’s Songkran, these aren’t just old legends. They’re living traditions, shaping the ways people celebrate, connect, & find a sense of belonging, whether in Asia or among communities far from home.
Each section in this blog focuses on a different region of Asia & examines how mythology survives migration. Through festivals, rituals, & community celebrations, these traditions have traveled far beyond their places of origin while remaining deeply connected to their cultural roots.

New Feature: "Share" Your Collections
Since we launched Collections in March, we've already seen ~50,000 of you collect ~200,000 individual pages, spanning nearly every genre and type we have on Fandom. Now we're taking the next step with a simple way to make an individual collection public and share it directly with other fans.
Collections started as a private way to save and organize the things you care about. With sharing, you can now generate a shareable link, let others view what you've put together, and even "save" it to their own collection.
Whether you're building a guide hub, collecting useful pages for a game, organizing lore or edit targets, or sharing a set of articles with friends, public collections are designed to make that easier.
This is an early version of sharin…
Technical Updates: May 19, 2026
Hello hello! We are back with a new edition of our Technical Updates. Our last blog post was a month ago, as we've been focusing on fixing internal bugs that don't directly affect users, preparing our systems for smoother feature rollouts in the coming months, and reviewing processes to improve platform maintenance. It's the typical behind-the-scenes housekeeping needed from time to time to ensure everything runs more smoothly in the future.
This edition highlights a small but practical set of releases and fixes that help make signing in, saving content, and searching more reliable—especially on mobile. A few changes focus on collections and mobile UI so community contributors can save and share content with less friction, and we also inclu…

Our Third Annual Transparency Report
Hello all!
Are you ready to get excited? I hope you are! Because… (drum roll) we have published our annual Transparency Report! Woohoo! Yay!
Fandom Transparency Report - 2025
You are all mentally jumping for joy, right? No? Impossible! Let me talk about what this report is & why it is a reason to hoot and holler.
This is our third report, with our first two years ago & second last year. These reports go into detail on what goes on behind the scenes in moderation, content review, & keeping the platform safe. We have also published our second DSA Transparency Report to meet requirements given by the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA). Both reports show platform data, but the DSA Transparency Report goes a little deeper into account bloc…
Technical Updates: April 7, 2026
Hey everyone! We are back with a new edition of our Technical Updates. As part of our ongoing commitment to keep the community informed, this series highlights the most relevant user-facing bug fixes, feature developments, and platform changes.
You might notice that this edition covers updates from the last month, rather than our usual two-week cadence. We skipped the previous publication because the major change for that period were already detailed in a dedicated, standalone blog post, and it didn't make much sense to publish a standard update just to repeat mainly the same information. Additionally, this post is going live on a Tuesday instead of our regular Monday slot because our team was off for a holiday yesterday. But we are back on…
