A little update on what's going on at The Vault and Wikia lately.
The Vault news
Edit
- Notability policy changes have been proposed.
- The decapitalization project is now officially complete, although many pages still need capitalization corrections.
Wikia newsEdit
Wikia has announced its new skin implementation timeline. As a reminder, the new skin's public beta -- which involves the new look being tested on five wikis, including Red Dead Wiki -- began last week. The next will be moving all wikis over to the new skin. Here is the projected timeline:
| October 6, 2010 |
|
| October 20, 2010 |
|
| November 3, 2010 |
|
Please note that this timeline does not include non-English wikis, which will require translation. We will announce the international transition plan in the coming weeks.
Wikia's Terms of Use have been updated as well. Admins will no longer be able to completely remove core features for all users by using custom CSS or JavaScript. This is to protect the universal layout and functionality of every wiki on Wikia and ensure that users have access to all of the features available in the new design. These new terms only apply to the CSS of the wiki as a whole -- they don’t apply to your personal pages. To give a few practical examples of what this means: It’s not permitted to remove the right sidebar modules, blogs, and image attribution or add a banner that shifts the entire content area down the page, or alter the fixed width.
