Several tools have been designed to aid in the creation and dissemination of information.
Feature development stages[]
Fandom generally follows a minimum viable product approach to software development,[1] so features can be loosely grouped under 4 main stages:
- Prototype (MVP) - feature is under active development and is generally only available to staff and/or select communities
- Limited beta - feature is being tested by few communities
- General Release - feature is enabled for all users
- Dormant - feature is either no longer actively developed or has been removed
