I'd like to know if there has been talks of opening up better communication channels with members of individual wikis, or plans to do so in the future. I've been using Wikia for over six years, and am a big fan of its structure and the relative ease with which it lets contributors add to wikis, but one part of it that annoyed me was the method changes were implemented: they don't happen often, but when they do, they're often done with insufficient warning, and often give wiki communities no say in these changes even as they're being applied to their site. Many wikis, including ours, have core systems and formatting standards built around features of Wikia, and when those get changed, it can force massive amounts of re-edits, or even the creation of entirely new templates and systems, and in-between there are a host of problems that are difficult to identify and unpleasant to experience as both a reader and a contributor. How has Wikia's approach on this evolved, and are there plans to implement a policy that would allow for more two-way input?
