Then, a few months later, if nobody pays any attention to them due to their non-fame status, their page would be outdated because at that point, there would be literally no updated information about them. Why would that happen? Because nobody was willing to find information about someone who is not famous in the community. Here’s an example to explain what I’m talking about.

I hang out in the Just Dance Wiki more than the others I’ve been in. For the past few months I’ve been there, I’ve seen massive differences between pages.

Newer pages (like the No Tears Left To Cry page - check the history of the page) are edited more often because it’s talking about newer content, which is more developed and well-known than older content and therefore, everyone knows what this song is about in the JD community. At this time, Just Dance 2019, the game NTLTC is in, is really famous - famous enough that people are hyped to get information about NTLTC, and they are happy to find references about it. This results in lots of people constantly updating the page because its topic is famous and people like researching about this well-known topic.

On the flip side, pages about less-known subjects (like You, Me and the Beat - see its page history here) are less commonly edited because it’s talking about older content that not many people know about. It’s 2018 and the game YMATB, Just Dance: Disney Party 2, was released years ago - so not many people know much about YMATB and edit it less often. This results in the page less often updated because the topic isn’t that famous, so people do not like researching about YMATB. Not to mention it’s lacking stuff that the NTLTC page has, resulting in the YMATB page being outdated and lacking information.
