I feel we put too much emphasis on coding here for our admins. I don't mean anything bad. Never really seen such a demand for it in any of the Wikias I worked in. Most of the time, we just work on templates. We didn't bother playing the JSS, CSS, or whatever it's called. I never really saw changing infoboxes to "portable" for mobile. I remember in some Wikias I worked with, they objected to the staff changing their infoboxes because it messed up the template that switches 2 images in the infoboxes and other things.

I never did try to implement anything beyond me as a bureaucrat in the CSS and JSS because I didn't find it worth my time or the Wikia's. Is it really going to attract users b/c we update the mobile stuff? No, I hate to be cynical. What affects the trafficking of the Wikia is the franchise itself and then how busy the community is with wiki editing, social media PR (I seen Fairy Tail Wikia doing that a lot), and forums (which Fairy Tail Wikia does the weekly Sorcerer's Magazine and reviews)

I tried that with Wikias. Did a weekly episode review for Sket Dance until the anime end. It didn't attract users. I only had comments from my teammates who were editing with me. When the anime ended, the traffic died. It's normal. Not be cynical, we are facing that in Magi Wikia. Sooner or later, we just need 1 active admin or not when the manga ends. We are just wiki editing for fun until the ride is over or you want to keep going. For me, the past Wikias of manga and anime series have ended. I stop wiki editing, but I check in every 2 weeks or month to make sure no one vandalizes it.

I have the time since I finished college this year which help me be more active in Magi and other Wikia. I have been sporadic last year but I kept logging in and doing my work.
