Hello wikians! We have a couple of important announcements to make.
Rules Rewrite
We have rewritten the wiki’s rules entirely in an effort to increase clarity and reduce the alarming number of typos. While the gist of the rules is the same, the wording may be very different from what you remember. The changes are effective immediately and we highly encourage you to give them a re-read!
We’ve also moved the “Wiki Administration” table on the rules page to its own page at Project:Staff.
If you notice any remaining typos, oddities, or just think something could be better, please let us know and we’ll do our best to clarify.
Homepage Updates
The wiki’s homepage has received minor updates. It should now have a slightly more consistent appearance, as well as having boxes linking to our wiki’s discord and our “Sister Wikis” (just a link to the Canon wiki).
Header Updates
The header has received some reorganization and preparation for both the arrival of UCP and a semi-secret project which might be arriving soon. The link to Heliosanctus’s aged feedback blog has been removed, and we encourage you to post any future feedback in the Wiki Improvement board.
Template Changes
As you may have noticed, there is now a tribe banner template! Designed as a replacement for the previous div tag soup, the template should be much easier to use.
The Character template has had minor parameter renames: ‘image.png’ has become ‘image’, ‘image artist’ has become ‘artist’, ‘theme animal’ has become ‘animal’, ‘theme song’ has become ‘song’, and ‘MBTI type’ has become ‘mbti’. Additionally, a ‘pronouns’ parameter has been added. All existing uses of this template will continue to work as-is.
The Fanfiction template has been renamed from ‘Infobox(Fanfiction)’ to ‘Fanfiction’, and the ‘title_of_fanfiction’ parameter has been removed. All existing uses of this template will continue to work as-is (with the exception of showing the ‘title_of_fanfiction’ parameter).
CSS Updates
We’ve implemented various changes to the wiki’s CSS. It’s gone through a massive cleanup, some fixes, and some additions. As an example, the little border effect on infoboxes that disappeared sometime ago should be working again.
…We did remove the stickynote class. We’re sorry. :pensive:
Due to the limitations of Discussions, examples of the following fonts and classes are available on the testing wiki.
Fonts
There are now four more gadgets available! All of these relate to fonts:
Serif Fonts: Algreya, ET Book, IM Fell English, and Roboto Slab
Sans-Serif Fonts: Algreya Sans and Rosario
Monospaced Fonts: IBM Plex Mono
Handwritten Fonts: Dancing Script
Additionally, the Im Fell English font has been moved from being available to all users to being a part of the Serif Fonts gadget. We aren’t currently looking to add more fonts but if you have a one you really like, feel free to let us know!
If you plan on using any of these fonts be sure to specify fallback fonts: Not all users will have the gadget enabled! You may also want to add a note to your page indicating that it looks best with the Serif Fonts gadget activated.
New goodies
A variety of new css classes have been added to allow for more customization of your coding.
New dragon bullet points
Access to css filters
Addition of class for code examples
