Wiki Manager: Welcome
Hey there,

I recognize you from the Dev Wiki Discord Server—welcome to Baccano! Wiki. I assume it will take a few days for Special:Community to update and reflect your role properly. Truth be told I hadn't expected B! Wiki would ever 'qualify' for a Wiki Manager, so I was surprised when I saw the email this morning. In a good way.

I do have one immediate question for you: does your appointment mean that B! Wiki has been reassigned to the new anime vertical? For the first time I can recall, B! Wiki isn't showing up in the top 5000-ranked wikis via WAM so I can't check there; however, I've searched for the wiki on Fandom to prompt the 'recommended wiki' module, and it looks like the wiki has been duly categorized as 'anime'. Can you confirm? I believe the wiki used to be included in the Comics vertical; frankly, the new Anime vertical is definitely more fitting.

While I'm here, may I ask why this wiki was assigned a Wiki Manager (if you know/are allowed to disclose)? Our fellow Narita wiki, the Durarara!! Wiki, was recently assigned one; its editors and I were certainly similarly bemused (in a good way) at the time. I remember reading Woodhouse's Wiki Managers introduction blog post, and Smokie's Fandom Team Introduction blog post—so I suppose Staff thought B! Wiki had a good opportunity for 'improved service'?

Ah, forgive my curiosity—it really is just curiosity, as I didn't necessarily think this wiki was on FANDOM's radar. (I do recall interacting with ZoeCatfu on the new official FANDOM Discord server, but.)

One final question set for now: So... Let me have it—what's your familiarity level with Baccano!(?) Are we talking 'never heard of it', 'only watched the anime', 'read the light novels and/or watched the anime', or a higher level that I don't dare to hope? I'm very curious to know.

Apologies to leave you such a long message! Welcome to the wiki; I'm sure I'll be seeing you around.

 * Re: Welcome Reply
 * I had two flights; one around eight hours, the second an hour and a quarter. The latter's light load wasn't too disconcerting, since I've been on smaller planes that size with few passengers before, but I must say... it is somewhat odd to be on a plane with a three seat - four seat - three seat layout and have so many of the rows be empty.


 * Oh shoot; I should've thought to check the API. It's right there.




 * Clearly I need to get back on my wiki game. I've spent the past year, two years a bit eased off the editing pedal, so to speak... but hey, I'm still here.


 * I was aware of the ~49k monthly views thanks to Special:Analytics, somewhat—well, more like Analytics confirmed what I'd estimated beforehand via quick view stats on the Admin dashboard. Usually the weekly views range from 12k-14k, with the occasional dip below or higher spike, so 12 x 4... I went to elementary school, ha. I know of course that the vast majority of wikis experience very little traffic... Which makes one wonder how high the bar is for a wiki to be counted in the 'top 1000 anime wikis', really. Possibly not too much.


 * "so let's say I've heard of it." // Well, you're already doing better than a lot of anime watchers out there, haha. Name recognition isn't something Baccano! necessarily has going for it; Aniplex letting the anime's distribution license expire in February 2016 definitely didn't help. In any case, let me know if you ever watch the anime or decide to watch it! Will be happy to help out.

Wiki Manager: Easy Come, Easy Go
Hey,

I just saw MisterWoodhouse's User blog about changes to Wiki Manager and Content Team members, and thought I should check in with you. that you no longer seem to have Wiki Manager rights on this wiki, I suppose you've been moved to better pastures?

Baccano! Wiki will certainly miss having an assigned Wiki Manager, but it will miss you more. My point is that you are of course welcome here regardless of Wiki Manager rights, and I hope this isn't the last we'll hear from you! Especially if you ever decide to give theBaccano! series a chance. For now, thank you for acting as our Wiki Manager these past three months. Best wishes going forward.

I assume I should remove the Dev Wiki:WikiManager_Nameplate script from MediaWiki:ImportJS in accordance with the news, given the circumstances?
