Fandom updates - Admin Plus and External Platform Guidelines
Hi all! Hope you're all well - a couple of quick updates from me this July. Diving in!
Admin Plus is a course designed to teach admins the fundamentals of building and maintaining a wiki community on Fandom. It covers three core areas:
- Technical Foundations
- Content Development
- Community Building
Any users can watch the videos to learn how to contribute to their wikis, but please be aware that Fandom awards badges of completion only to admins who:
- Have served in an admin role for at least 90 days
- Manage wikis that have 100 pages or more
This was brought in due to feedback from wiki admins who wanted to know more about what being an admin entails. Admins have also been putting their adminship status on their resume or CV. With Admin Plus, working wi…
Interactive Maps are here!
Hey all!
Fandom recently announced that Interactive Maps are live on the platform. As a recap, Interactive Maps is a feature available on Fandom where communities can design their own customized maps. You can place pins on an image that will lead to wiki articles when clicked on!
Interactive Maps are available to all communities, accessible from the the "Explore" menu on the local navigation, or by visiting Special:AllMaps directly in the URL. Map creation and editing is currently limited to those with the user right editinteractivemap, which is automatically given to administrators and Fandom Staff.
If you're excited about this feature and would like to start playing around with one, reach out to an active admin to receive the necessary rights.…
Fandom Wiki Rules and Blocking policy updates
Hey guys!
Recently, Fandom staff posted updates to the Fandom Wiki Rules and Blocking Policy. As a reminder, this is a global policy to aid the wellbeing of communities that all wikis have been following since 2021. These new changes go into effect on April 4th.
- An added section outlining what it means to be a good admin. Some tips include being open to users asking for advice, not acting as if you are the “owner” of the wiki, assuming good faith etc
- The “Need ideas for rules?” section was moved to its own page and added more example rules to be used if needed.
- An added section requiring a pathway to adminship. This is a system your community can set up to allow for long-time users who care about the wiki and community to eventually become admins…
The Blacklist Review
Its the Entertainment of current times, cases are much more modern and surely demands a muse with intelligent, erudite and a criminal mastermind like Raymond Reddington. James Spader has played this character so perfectly and has left no need of betterment.
However, the whole cast has also been placed in a great manner, not only evolving with the story but with the emotions as well. The script combines crime thriller with drama and occasional comic-relief moments.
Technical quality is great, visuals and screenplay is prepared exceptionally maintaining the pace, so that it never loses the grip of your attention.
Background scores and Music is used with a good taste, it gets blend with motions on screen and gives a rich look to experience.

Agent Keen
Im starting to hate her character every episode that goes by... why they make her so dumb and impulsive? She's supposed to be an FBI agent yet she does the dumbest stuff!
The Blacklist Discussions and Questions
Hi guys!
My name is Raylon. I'm glad to be here with you guys. I love the blacklist, and I can't wait for the new season to start. Someone was asking a question about the different kinds of wine Raymond mentioned on the show. I know the name of one wine he has mentioned is a chardonnay.
What were some of your favorite seasons of the blacklist?
Some of my favorites seasons were seasons 1, 2, and 3. A lot of the episodes in season 5, and some of them in season 6. Season 7 was not the best season for me. I found season 7 to be very lacking and confusing.
I love James Spader. I have been a fan of his for a long time. The man is as handsome as ever. He is an awesome actor. He truly make me feel that Raymond Reddington is a "real" character.…
Who is the actress in season 7 episode 1?
So, Season 7, Episode 1 opens with a scene of a raid in France. There is a girl in this scene who is counting money or something when she is interrupted, and she puts her hands up. Any idea what this actress's name is?
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10003824/fullcredits
So Elizabeth Keen is Masha Rostova
I love this show but it is so freaking confusing. Why doesn't Elizabeth know that her real name is Masha Rostova?
Jumped the shark
Loved the show but it has jumped the shark. Your telling me Elizabeth doesn't care that her mom killed 2 FBI agents doesn't matter because she deserves the truth. If this was real life she would've never been fine with that. Now she's like kill anybody I don't care, I need answers, cmon.
Reddington Jail Montage (VIDEO)
I made a montage of Reddington being in jail etc. Hope you like it
Link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maQwjEWgSaw
Season 7
Things that need to be seen in season 7.
- Explain why Katarina Rostova is so important to the Cabal.
- Have a family reunion of the Keen and Rostova family where the family secrets are told.
- Have Brad Marking, Martin Wilcox, Richard Denner, and Julian Gale return for an illegal operation to expose the task force.
Certified KeenLer
Hello,
I must say I am a beginner, I just watched the 1st and 2nd season but one thing for sure I love the chemistry of Ressler and Liz
they are so good together. Its my first time to watched this kind of series. I do hope that they will end up together, I know that this series is not a love story, but definitely i was in awe to this two character.

Newbie
Hello everyone!
I'm new to this site and to the show. Just started watching "Blacklist" season 1 episode 5. Is Reddington Lizzy's father? I guess I'll have to keep watching to find out. :)
cabal 2017
The cabal supposdely had something planned for 2017. Do you think they will still act on that.
Alter-plot
I've been roped into watching this series with my wife who is obsessed and because we are on Netflix and are only 4 episodes into season 4, I realize I'm writing from a position of ignorance. However, the absurdity of these people's decisions in life; who to trust, what information to share, what information to demand before acting, etc., leaves me convinced that just about any plot twist could happen. So here's my alter-plot idea:
When little Elizabeth remembers shooting and killing "her dad" as a small child, she does indeed remember this correctly. What she doesn't realize is that Raymond Redington was not only having an affair with her mother, but was indeed her biological father. What actually happened that night was that Red and Katar…
Season 4, Episode 12
I was just rewatching episodes preparing for the upcoming season.. one thing that bugs me is that how Natalie Luca got her blacklist number, 184. I always thought that the idea of a blacklist was it was Red's list of criminals. But it seemed like no one knew about Natalie Luca. They had to dig and research about her. Did I miss something?
Season 4, Episode 22
So, guys, I really need to know your opinion. And I'm sorry if I'm breaking any community rules here, it's not on purpose. Additionally, by the way, I'll not speak clearly, because I don't know if spoilers are allowed here. But I believe that people who watched the episode will be able to understand.
I do need to know about the information contained on the document Liz shows Red in the final moments. Is that information true? Because in the end, when he talks with Dembe, Dembe asks if had he denied it. It gave me the impression that Liz wasn't right.
Is Red wearing new sunglasses?
Has anyone noticed Red looks like he is wearing Oliver Peoples Clifton's rather than Victory's in the latest few episodes? Check the top bridge bar - it seems to have a curve in it.
Is it just me who wants the same pair as the worlds best dressed criminal??!!
Cheers
The Arsonist blacklist
I was wondering if anyone had an image of the blacklist that was at the end of The Blacklist volume 2 The Arsonist.
I usually buy the kindle editions but it was not included in the kindle version, and I don't really want to buy the paperback too.

Season 4 is almost here
Five days ago this new promo was released:
What are your thoughts? And most important, what do think will happen in the first episode?
Season 4 wishlist
- Vanessa Cruz's return
- Drexel's client
- More of the Shell Island Retreat
- Why Milton Bobbit's client list was important
- Cooper and Reddington's Kuwait connection
- The meaning of the blacklist numbers (they haven't even mentioned the numbers in the series)
- Mention comic book and Conspiracy characters and events
- How the Front and the Kenyon Family came to possess pieces of the Fulcrum
- At least 1 mobster blacklister ( At the end of the first episode Red said: "A list I've been cultivating for over 20 years; politicians, mobsters, hackers, spies." We've seen at least 1 politician (Tom Connolly), some hackers (Ivan and The Troll Farmer), and some spies (Wujing, Leonard Caul, Manuel Esteban). But we haven't seen a mobster.)
Elizabeth Keen and Tom Keen
I recon it is silly Liz and tom getting back together.
After what tom did to her,
LIZ IS DEAD - UNBEILIEVABLE - R.I.P. - What is going on next
Ok. We just entered a compleatly new a different rabbit hole. The one difference is that Elizabeth is dead. Everything has changed. She was he balance for the show. What is going on. Please tell as much as you know. Is Megan Boone on Maternity leave or what?
Tom Keen Spinoff
Just in case anyone didn't hear.
http://deadline.com/2016/04/the-blacklist-spinoff-ryan-eggold-cast-tom-1201732495/
Tom is one of my favorite characters, and I can't wait to see what this series is goin to be about.
NBC The Blacklist Site
I’ve noticed that the NBC website doesn’t always have the most accurate information about the blacklist.
For a time, they had Floriana Campo listed as the Freelancer, even though they are two different people.
As of right now if you look at the gallery of season 1 blacklisters , Ranko Zamani is not listed as one of them.
If you look at the photo galleries, the photos for Kings of the Highway are labeled Knights of the Road.
Mako Tanida ’s status is unknown. However, we know he was confirmed killed in the episode, the connecting the criminals video, and in the blacklist comic book list.
For some reason Madeline Pratt 's and Ivan 's statuses are unknown, however we know they are still at large.
John X or The Gambler
Does anyone know if John X or The Gambler got a blacklist number in the fifth comic book?

Blacklister Similarities
Blair and Berlin are similar in some aspects. Both were manipulated into wanting enemies of the Cabal (Red and Liz) dead due to the loss of family members (Blair's mother and Berlin's daughter) that were actually due to the Cabal.
Nasim Bakhash and Milton Bobbit operated in the same way. They worked as contract killers until they saved enough money to fulfill their personal contracts. In both cases Reddington was interested in their client list.
Anslo Garrick and Luther Braxton operated very similarly. They were highly miltary like mercenaries that were both able to break into high security buildings. Besides the fact that both were given two episodes.
Sir Crispin Crandall and the Longevity Initiative were very similar. They were both looking…
Arioch Cain
I decided to create this blog since one of the administraters took most of my question off of the unanswered questions section of the Arioch Cain.
Here is my question in full:
How is Arioch Cain number 50 on the blacklist? Going off the theory that Reddington had the blacklist formed before he turned himself in, Red probably didn’t know about Cain. She is a young girl that would have been even younger when Red made the blacklist. Also, she didn’t seem to be worthy of blacklisting until after the OREA bombing, when she made the profile. This means Arioch Cain didn’t exist when Red made the blacklist. Wendigo seems more like a blacklister since Red knew a lot about him and he seemed to be operating longer than Cain.
The administrater answered …
Red and Liz
Here is my theory of Red and Liz. First off, I never got the feeling that they were going to be a couple like some people thought. I always got a father-daughter vibe from them.
Okay here is my theory. A Russian KGB agent, Katarina Rastova, met an American Naval Intelligence officer, Raymond Reddington. The two spies fell in love. Later, they had a child named Masha. Reddington was such a skilled spy that he caught the attention of a secret organization called the Cabal. Reddington may have worked for them for a time, however he changed his mind about the organization. He learned of the Fulcrum, a file which contained crucial information on the members of the Cabal and their activities created by Leonard Caul.
Around Christmas time, the Caba…
The Red-Liz Connection
This is a theory that I think may be possible about what the connection between Liz and Red is. Ican't find any flaw with it. If you do, please comment to let me know.
Firstly, I don't want to sound dismissive but in my opinion, Lizzington doesn't seem possible. At all. What we have seen on the show of Red's feelings are those of a guardian not of a lover. When addressing the parallels between The Silence of the Lambs and The Blacklist, James Spader himself said in an interview that the Hannibal-Clarice relationship was based more on mutual attraction towards the mstery between them while in The Blacklist, Red seems to have a certain knowledge about Liz. Things she doesn't know about herself. About her past and her personality.
That being sa…
Lizzington Possible???
Ok, so Blacklist is coming back and soon. I knows, they are killing me by playing the teaser over and over again. I'm telling you, the way Red look at Liz in her new hair?! No way he could be her father.
For a while, it's always bugged me that between Red and Liz, there're something more, not just simply because they are father and daughter( even if this turn out to be truth) and after watching some reasons others have on YouTube, I realize Lizzington share some similarities with Hannibal/Clarice, correct me if I'm wrong but I'm seeing hope Lizzington is become possible right here
+Liz and Clarice, both of them are FBI agents
+The two shared some traits of personalities, unpredictable, can be soft and hard, caring,etc.
+Red and Hannibal,refuse…
Unanswered questions
Can we please consider weeding out the "unanswered questions" that have been answered? In many cases the answers have been revealed on the show and in other sections of the pages, so now they're just taking up a lot of space.
Jpx400 (talk) 10:07, April 15, 2015 (UTC)
- I disagree,the unanswered questions sections allows editors to raise points that they felt were unclear when they viewed the episode, it also allows editors and browsers to see how long some plots run before reaching their resolution. The wiki is a resource available for all fans of "The Blacklist", from those who have watched the series from the first promotional videos to those that have only seen a brief clip on "you tube" and wish to know more.
- There is no limit imposed by Wiki…
