Hey folks - just dropping by to give you some key updates from the past month. Let's dive in!

Admin Code of Conduct

We recently published an Admin Code of Conduct. As part of a strategy to clean-up and consolidate policies to make them clearer for users, this policy aims to be a clear starting place for how all admins (and indeed users) should apply themselves on the platform.

If you have any questions on this, please do contact me or Fandom Support directly!

Web accessibility resources

Web accessibility refers to making websites as accessible to as many people as possible, regardless of disability. Doing this on Fandom allows even more users to access and enjoy the content you create, potentially growing your community.

We published some new resources about how you can make your wiki more accessible, and what benefits that brings to your community.

Read our blog about the new accessibility resources

Video uploads

Video uploading has been re-enabled on the platform. .mp4, .webm, .mkv, and .mov are once again supported video types!

That about covers it! If you have any questions or concerns, please do comment below or drop me a message. Thanks all!

So I was just wondering why Loki's gender is listed as male on the wiki? Because as far as I know, in the comics and in Marvel Rivals (im not sure about the movies), Loki is genderfluid (I'm pretty sure), so why does the wiki list them as male?

I'm so sorry if this isnt allowed by the way or if it's in the wrong category, because I read through the guidelines and I think this is allowed but I'm so sorry if it isn't

Daredevil's power grid could use an update. His Intelligence is already listed as "Gifted," but it’s only rated a 3 - it really should be a 4. Also, his Fighting Skill should be bumped up from 5 to 6 to better reflect his abilities.

Hey folks! Back in November, we announced that Fandom will be upgrading to MediaWiki 1.43 in 2025. You may now have seen a scary notice pop up saying the migration is happening soon!

Please do read the blog above, but I'm here to give you a TL;DR of what to expect over the next few months.

What changes you can expect

As with all MediaWiki upgrades, these often bring performance and security improvements, as well as new features. We will update the Help page with a list of changes in the coming weeks.

The key areas here are:

• This will not change the design of wikis

• Most of the changes will happen under the hood, so you won't notice many visual changes

Timeline

Our current plans have this wiki to migrate in March. However, this is subject to change, so could be earlier or later. View Antonio's blog for a full breakdown of our migration timeline.

Note: During the upgrade, the wiki will go into read-only mode for around 30 minutes (potentially longer for larger wikis).

Report issues

If you have any bug reports, issues, or feedback, please contact me via Discord, message wall, or reply in this thread. The Fandom Discord server also has a dedicated #mediawiki-upgrade channel where you can request help too!

Further information

Read more in depth about the upgrade:

• Fandom's MediaWiki 1.43 upgrade blog

• Fandom's Help page for the MediaWiki 1.43 upgrade

That's about it folks! I'll keep you updated as and when I have new information. If anyone has any questions, concerns, or feedback, please do reach out to me. Thanks!

DIRECTORS CUT in Sins of Sinister directly stated by the writer.

"Devil Advocacy (From Journey of Mystery- Its basically a meeting place for all head demons in MU. Any decent demon will be. Mephisto, etc"

He stated refer below from Journey into Mystery about the Council

It is shown Adversary arguing with another demon Darklove for satans chairs in Journey into Mystery 627. Wait there's more.

The Devil's Advocacy is the meeting place for the head demons in Marvel Universe (the multiverse) and wait there is Adversary with his peers close to the chair of satan in Sins of Sinister? Unless you want to argue someone like Dormammu is from 616 and a universal reboot affected him too? Along with other demons from different dimensions too? Cable and X-Force stated he is pan-dimensional. Which means he exists as one version in infinite realities.

Infernal Parliament is literally the Devil's Advocacy referring from Journey into Mystery PER the writer

The intro for Resurrection of Magneto "FALLS THE SHADOW! In the cold dark rooms beyond death, there are terrible things. Annihilators. Adversaries. And a King of Shadows…who seeks a new soul to live in. The time of easy miracles is over. For Storm and Magneto, all the roads back to life are hard…and this is the hardest road of all."

Al Ewing lets it be known that the Dark Dimension that was taking over the White Hot Room when Phoenix was dying has many things Annihilation, Adversary, and Shadow King.

----- He gave us hints that these beings are all connected In X-Men Red 13. He let it be known that Annihilation had the power Storm faced before "Adversary" Storm faced Adversary in Uncanny X-Men and in Black Panther

----Al Ewing Stated in an interview that when Storm will be facing some of the X-men's greatest and most powerful foes over the years. Storm is allowed into The Mystery by the higher power of Marvel Cosmos but she is only allowed there to save 616 from cosmic threats,

-----Al Ewing confirms again they would be facing cosmic threats that will have a knock-off effect on the rest of Fall of X. Which is these cosmic entities and the dark cold room trying to take over the White Hot Room and the cosmos.

-----The writer of X-men Forever confirms he spoke with Al Ewing and issue 3 X-men Forever plays off on RoM

---When Resurrection of Magneto #3 came out Al Ewing stated he did research on various "oppositional forces to the Phoenix". He learned Shadow King was meant to be one of these by Claremont but has been aware of others that filled that spot like Goblin Force. He asked if were there any others and answered yes but did not get them all. Oppositional force to phoeni are plural but for the larger purpose of Fall of X, they should be coherently arranged. He stated Tiger God did not fit the oppositional force as he exists in the darkness around the WHR and the opposition force is in Tagiriron the opposite of the White Hot Room.

--- Playing on what's above Claremont created Adversary as universe primal chaos destroying the world and creating a new one out of chaos doing it over and over again. Adversary is literally beyond life and death meaning he can't die.

----Adversary shown in Howling Commandos of S.H.I.E.L.D. Vol 1 5 was stated to be the shadows themselves. As he was shown in X-Factor it was stated he was born in the "Darkness". Adversary was never from the physical plane and always needed a host. All Echo did was stop an incarnation he used.

1. It's been stated numerous times Adversary can not die and just him being locked up in a prison dimension for a long time by Roma would affect the universe. All Echo did was disperse his essence so he "couldn't" reform. This is also stated by Forge in X-Factor when using the spirit spell which was made to incap Adversary.

2. The writer of SoS directly stated that Devil Advocacy is from Journey into the Mystery and just shows Sebastian meeting the head demons in Marvel Multiverse. Adversary is alive with his peers as they still face off who should sit in Satan's chair.

3. Al Ewing confirms multiple times the oppositional forces to the Phoenix are the real deal in multiple interviews and his articles. He refers to them in one as cosmic threats. The next the most powerful foes of X-men over the years. He did make an article claiming to make a story about these oppositions. These entities are all linked by the darkness and have their own name/role but are aligned.

4. This as shown in Dark Cold Room/Shadow Kingdom when Storm pooled her force into SK combined with the rest of the entities... It was stated shadows can never be truly gone but can be robbed of their power for the time being. Showing that the oppositional forces of phoenix representing darkness can not be killed.

Hi everyone,

I'm just putting out feelers for this because It's been a long while since we elected mods. The last time we elected mods was fall of 2020, when Grey was elected to be a mod.

Since then we've had several mods become inactive, and other mods have left.

I'm currently not sure how many active mods we have.

So I'll put out a few tags of the one's I know.

@His Grey Eminence

@Fixer1138 @GenericB&SFan2402 @Gabri1090

I don't know if there is a need, and if there is no need that's fine. But I'm wondering if y'all had any thoughts to electing a new moderator.

I left the community a year ago due to a mental health crisis. I returned about 5 months ago. Since then Idk who are active mods are, I just see them around less.

My question is: would it be helpful to yall to have another moderator election? I just notice we have fewer active mods.Not to say things aren't running well here, but would it be helpful?

And I guess open discussion to the community here too, do yall feel the need for a new mod election?

Anyways, feel free to take this down if I'm stepping on toes.

The database listing for this issue and the next one (where I might add, he single-handedly wipes out the entire masters of evil team, triumphing over all the crap that's been shoveled on him the past 18 issues) have Hank Pym listed as a villain. He only "joined" the team because he was manipulated and never did a single bad thing while he was with them, using their own technology to defeat them and yet these 2 pages make it seem like he was legitimately one of the bad guys. This needs to be fixed immediately.

I wanted to upload this image of a mutant circuit that involves many different characters (Magik, Warpath, Mirage, Karma, Scout, Anole, Cosmar, Cerebella, Rain Boy) merged into one form.

How should I name this? I figured by the names of the two teams listed, but I want to be sure. And, in the Character category of the template, should I tag the characters that are a part of it, even though they are not independently visible?

Thanks for all help and advice.

Not sure how I got it fixed last time -- if I did right by posting here, or someone just came across it and fixed it independently.

Anyways! I forgot to add incremental numbers to these images, how do I go about contacting someone to fix them? Sorry for doing it again... it's been a while!

I was visiting the page for X-Men Training Squads, and noticed that it isn't formatted correctly. I tried to fix it myself, but nothing I did fixed it. Can someone experienced with editing take a look and see what's wrong with it?

Can someone tell me how to upload an image in order to replace one of lower quality?

I know Mary Jane Watson was set to appear in TASM 2 but was cut to focus on Gwen and Peter. Recently I just discovered a shot that had Shailene Woodley's character in the coffee shop when Rhino attacked outside. Is this enough to build up a page for her? Here's a shot from the outfit she wore on set to the shot cameo in the film

Hey there! I forgot to add an incremental number to an image I just uploaded. I couldn't find where to go to ask for it to be fixed, so I decided to ask on the forums so I could hopefully get it fixed and an answer!

Thank you and have a great day!

A few months ago, I made a post about how a character death shouldn't count on their database page if they're resurrected less than a year later. This makes complete sense and a lot of people agreed with it. Now, no one wants to get into that themselves, that's fair, but what if I made the database changes myself? If Admins/Mods could just give me the green light to edit anything under cause of death and not have it automatically undone once I'd finished, would that be fine?

I honestly think that if a character's resurrected less than a year after they died, it shouldn't count on their database page. Like take Spider-Man for example. There's about 9 deaths listed on his page but only 1 or 2 of them actually stuck for more than 30 seconds. I mean, even with the time-travel & cosmic being farts since the 80's notwithstanding, ever since the Krakoa age started, it's gotten completely ridiculous.

Or at the very least, mention WHEN the deaths/resurrections happened, so people can tell the difference.
