User blog comment:Xydux/Status Report for 2015/@comment-1915803-20151226230350

Ah yes, it's that time of year again. The Status Report looks good—fortunately there is nothing really serious that needs to be immediately addressed. I'll add my thoughts:

As I understand it, we've settled on the idea that it's time to phase out the Achievement Awards. I really should have taken action on this earlier, but it's going to require a decent amount of perusal to go through User pages and delete the awards. Maybe this is something you could add to the Status Report.

As for the Quotes page, I think we should consider deleting it. I'm pretty sure I've suggested this before either on a previous Status Report or on the old Shoutbox, but it seems particularly obvious to me now. Not only do we have individual sections for Memorable Quotes on the episode articles themselves, but to top it off we now have full scripts of the episodes. The Quotes page seems redundant.

Very glad that you included the part about weeding out junk trivia. There's so much and it's sometimes challenging to go through it because a lot of it is really cringeworthy.

I'll also note that traffic has dropped off rather heavily in the past year or so. I recall looking at the Admin dashboard not even two years ago and seeing daily view numbers around 10k. Looking at the dashboard now, the average seems to be about 6k. This isn't particularly surprising because the EEnE fanbase is slowly aging, but it certainly means that we may have to prepare for a time three, four, five years down the line when the annals of the EEnE Wiki resemble the empty neighborhoods of Detroit.

Good work overall, and I'll conclude by saying that we should update the Featured Article and Media on the front page, as well as get some new polls up there. Seriously, those two have been there for over three years now.
