And you thought we were done sharing new WikiAnswers site features for the week! You think brand new Community Forums and search with snippets are enough? And you call yourself a Wikiholic…

Another new feature went live on WikiAnswers this week, and this one may just blow your mind. Mine is still splattered all over the living room.

Now, let’s say you ask a new question, like, Once Halloween is over do Americans begin preparing for Thanksgiving? (you can see where my mind is now). On the screen where you are supposed to categorize it, you will see Suggested Categories offered below the search bar. You may get up to three suggestions, and they may be right or wrong, but that’s for you to decide. If you’re satisfied, click Save, and if not, you can choose to categorize elsewhere.

Boo!

It’s WikiAnswers Wednesday, and we’re coming dangerously close to Halloween these days. There are probably all kinds of questions going through your mind, like:

• What is the origin of trick-or-treating on Halloween?
• How do you make and attach wings to your body for a Halloween costume?
• How do you make your son look like a girl for Halloween?

But there’s one question you may not have considered yet, and there is an answer to that question that will absolutely shock and horrify you:

What should you know about child safety on Halloween?

My dear friends - keeping yourself safe when those children come knocking at your door is the most important thing you can possibly do this Halloween. Children are the number one source of candy theft in America on October 31st.

They use all different kinds of tactics - they play on your fear, they employ terror, and of course, they charm with their cuteness.

Do not fall for it! Keep your candy to yourself! Kids just can’t appreciate a Reese’s peanut butter cup the way adults can.
