Sure! So first of all, Help:Building a community is a really great read as it provides some awesome tips, many of which I'll cover here.

I want to cover though some areas specific to this wiki that I think could be useful. :)


 * Main page

Your current wiki main page is great in that you have an opening paragraph that details what the wiki is about - that falls in line with Fandom's main page guidelines.

The area that I can see that would be visually appealing to new readers would be to include some more images. Main pages should be bold and exciting, showcasing your wiki's content in an eye catching way. Images are certainly a good way to go about that!

Bachelor Nation Wiki has a great main page design in that it features lots of images, but also uses them for navigation purposes. That's the good thing with images - you can includes lots of them but use them for a purpose such as for navigation. I highly recommend doing this.


 * Cater for mobile users

You are doing a great job with this. You're using portable infoboxes as well as a bespoke mobile main page. I've nothing to add on that, just wanted to point out you're doing all you can on that! :)


 * Build a social space

I know many believe wikis are all about editing and content, but wikis at their core are nothing without the community. Indeed, communities contribute to subjects they are passionate about but they also really want a place to talk about their favourite franchises.

There aren't really many places here to do that at the moment which I think will hold fans back from wanting to join this wiki for the complete experience. I recommend enabling Discussions as this gives users that place to socialise.

That's not to say these won't become editors though as Discussions integrates the wiki into the platform. Also, HighJewElfKing over at South Park Wiki has been really successful in going into Discussions, talking with the community, and helping them become editors!

Hopefully this is helpful. Sorry it's a super long post. Do any of those appeal to you?
