Wikia Community Team and Wikia Staff: These users are employees or contractors of Wikia Inc. . Wikia's headquarters are in San Francisco, but many staff work remotely, located around the world so that we can provide support to the communities around the clock

Relation between Religion Wiki staff and Wikia Staff

The Wikia Community Team is not reflected with the Religion Wiki Staff (global admins, admins, mods) or Religionwiki.net. Wikia.inc is hosting the MediaWiki software and is supporting Religion Wiki in this Area. Wikia is not involved in any Religion Wiki project outside the wikia.domains.

Fandom's Community Team is here to help support and grow all of our communities. We work on a variety of projects and you can turn to us with questions or concerns. Contact us using Special:Contact and let us know how we can help you with your community, and meet the members of the team below!

Community Team Overview

Community Experience. The Community Experience (ComEx) team is primarily responsible for providing proactive support to you as editors. We do that in several ways. First and foremost, we have proactive wiki management where team members will work directly with top communities to ensure that they are getting the support and Fandom news that they need. This is through a combination of Community Managers on our staff team, as well as Wiki Representatives. We host a slew of programming initiatives that editors can attend, like more AMAs, live-streams where you can hear from us about the latest developments at Fandom to stay informed, and yearly Community Connect.
Customer Support. Have you ever sent an email ticket into our Zendesk support queue? The person who responded to you is from Customer Support! Whereas Community Experience is our more proactive team that reaches out directly to you, Customer Support is our team of dedicated support reps who are there to react whenever you need to turn to them for help with something on your wiki.
Community Activations. Our Community Activations (ComAct) team takes community building to the next level. Sometimes, a TV studio or a game publisher will say “hey, we want to sponsor an entire wiki about our show or game.” Our Community Activations team will make sure that those wikis, often newer ones where a community hasn’t been built up yet, looks incredible and is the best version of a wiki it possibly could be. In the case of a wiki with an existing community, our team will work directly with admins and editors to take that wiki to the next level by dedicating some of our team’s resources to helping build out more content, giving it a facelift, and finding new and interesting partnership and engagement opportunities for community members. Community Activations also works on our Official Wiki program.
Community Safety. None of the above would be possible unless you feel safe on the Fandom platform, in both English language communities and through leading our International Community efforts. Community Safety (ComSafe) is the team that focuses on user safety, making sure that we’re keeping the platform free of harassment, bullying, or other bad behavior from bad faith users. They are also responsible for the review and implementation of user safety policies, as well as policies around what kinds of content are and will be allowed on the Fandom platform in the future. They also oversee the review of JavaScript, to make sure there’s no malicious code on the platform that could harm you; vandalism, through our SOAP team, to keep your wikis clean of malicious content; and images, as we manually review every image that’s uploaded to the platform to prevent porn, gore, or other unwanted images from being hosted here.

CzechOut	Community Activations	Special Project Implementation	CzechOut	Before there was a CzechOut, there was just some anonymous guy editing Fandom back when it was WikiCities. So he's been around for the whole Fandom story but only started working here in 2014. When not undercover on some secret Special Operations project, he can usually be found feeding a life-long Doctor Who obsession at Tardis, internally debating whether he better likes Irish whiskey or a good single malt, getting lost in a new city, or digging deep into the latest Apple^® product.

George	Customer Support	Technical Support Lead	Kirkburn	Kirkburn, sometimes known as George, joined the Community Support team in late 2012, having been a product manager at Fandom for several years. Kirkburn is not a recovering WoW-addict - indeed, he has not stopped playing since launch day in 2005, and it was joining WoWWiki a year later that got him into wikis. (He does play other games too.) He trained as a Civil Engineer, but is not going to make any jokes about 'building bridges with the community' here.

He is bureaucrat on Grand Theft Encyclopedia and Animuspedia, besides contributing on many other wikis. He loves video games, music, sports, movies, TV... and everything that can be fun!

Kim	Customer Support	Support Specialist	Kimberton	Kim joined the Customer Support team in late 2020. Kim has a variety of obsessions ranging from The Nightmare Before Christmas, Doctor Who and all things dark and spooky. Everyday is Halloween to Kimberton.
Lucas	Community Experience	Community Manager (Anime)	Lder1995	Lucas is a passionate anime fan and has contributed to Fandom in some capacity since 2017. His passion for anime and manga first took hold when he stumbled across a copy of the Pokemon Adventures manga in his small town's public library as a child, and has never looked back. When Lucas is not trying to make Fandom the greatest resource for anime content in the world, he's playing a video game, training for a marathon, editing a podcast, or writing some kind of media review or critique.
Mandy	Community Experience	Community Manager (Entertainment)	idekmandy	Mandy joined Fandom in 2015 and has been hooked ever since. She started out as an admin on several wikis before making the jump to Wiki Manager and now Community Manager. She has a major addiction to TV, horror movies, and tattoos, and when not on Fandom, you can probably find her geeking out at horror conventions or at a coffee shop making fan art.
Marc-Philipp	Community Safety	International Coordinator	MtaÄ	Marc took the long road to Fandom by joining through an import of gratis-wiki.com in 2008. He's been working as helper for two years until he joined Fandom staff in late 2010 to lead the team moving forward. He enjoys a wide blend of metal music, playing RPGs and surprisingly, some gardening as well.
Mike	Community Activations	Content Team Lead	Cavalier One	Mike joined the Fandom team in 2016. He is an active contributor and administrator of Wookieepedia, and has been editing wikis since 2007. His main passion is (obviously) Star Wars, but he loves pop culture in all forms including films, television shows, books, and comics. Also, he has no problem talking about himself in the third person. When not editing wikis, he can be found reading, playing computer games, or adding to his already extensive collection of LEGO sets. Tea plays a significant role in his life, and the day is not complete without at least several cups.
Sannse	Community Safety	Community Support Director	Sannse	Sannse is the longest-standing member of the Fandom Community Staff. One of her passions (aside from wikis, of course) is making jewelry. She's collected hundreds of different beads, with lava stone among her favorites. You can find her hanging out on Community Central and visiting the amazing variety of communities across Fandom. Feel free to say hello!
Tim	Community Safety	Director of Community Safety	TimmyQuivy	Tim Quievryn has been editing wikis since 2004 and been working at Fandom since mid-2009. Stock car racing, photography, and hiking are his main hobbies, but he loves staying to learn a little bit about the topic of each wiki he helps out.
Tots	Community Experience	Community Manager (Cross-Vertical)	HeyTots	Tots started his career working for game communities as a Game Master for MMORPGs. After working 10 years in game development he joined Fandom to help serve the Fandom/Gamepedia communities. He loves podcasting, table top games, and any MMO he can sink a few hundred hours in!
Yura	Customer Support	Support Specialist	Kuzura	Yura began as simple user on the Russian Lostpedia in March of 2008. In 2010, he joined the International Volunteers Team as Helper and since 2017 he has been working as a staff.
