 * 1) Which 50 communities?
 * 2) Again; How long is this test for? When does it start/end?
 * 3) I checked, the lightbox changes seem to be live on a lot more than just harrypoter or pokemon, and "they can just login" isn't good enough, as some people may just be looking for an image to use rather than trying to get to the article, this also breaks citations as now the file page redirects to the article where its used rather than the actual file page.
 * 4) So apparently its gonna be a permanent change for these wikis having the "test", since you decided to use permanent redirects for a test?
 * 5) Ah.
 * 6) What about actual results, not just screenshots of some part of some dashboard?
 * 7) You didn't answer my question, it had nothing to do with logged in users.
 * 8) You missed the second part of the question.
 * Ah, also do you have the data to back up that number?

Also, you seem to have avoided answered anything about: which is concerning.
 * How the redirects are done.
 * How the user is going to be informed of the redirect (there is an obvious change of urls that the user can, including on time where the file page even started to load before I was suddenly thrown to the main page. Also it seems that either the redirects broke on this wiki, or they were suddenly removed, as they were working but have now stopped. Also my browser's back button was enough for me to still get to the file page, so I don't think your redirect works too well.)
 * How pages are selected for being redirected to.
 * What if the file page redirects to the wrong page, or we want to change where the redirect points to.

Also it seems that Wikia is either trying to force this change onto us or doesn't care if it fails (based on the fact that they used permanent 301 redirects for a test, and "If you remove it, it’s not permanent so the trust of your site drops.").
