Help:What's new on Miraheze?

Page is a WIP

Welcome to Miraheze, The Sims Wiki's new home! Things are a bit different around here than they are on our old home, Wikia. We'll cover some of the most exciting features that are new to The Sims Wiki that Miraheze offers. You won't find these features on Wikia!

Vector skin
Sleek, stylish, snazzy, and anything but squished! The Sims Wiki on Miraheze uses the Vector skin, the same design used on Wikipedia. There is plenty of room for page content, so you can read comfortably without being distracted by things on the side!

No ads
You hate ads, and so do we. Some sites let you pay to remove ads; others will just try to find ways around your ad blocker. Miraheze runs no ads at all, which means no distractions, no advertising cookies, and best of all, no tracking!

No autoplaying videos
You know how some Wikia pages have this gigantic autoplaying video that appears at the very top of the article? Yeah, isn't that just annoying? What if I told you that none of those exist on Miraheze? If we have videos, they'll only play when you want them to play! (Well, when you click them, at least)

Modern editing
Enjoy a sleek, modern editing interface that loads in seconds and drops you straight into the page. Edit like Microsoft Word faster than Word can start up. No need to read any manuals or learn any markup to edit!

For those who still prefer editing via wiki markup, we haven't forgotten about you: enjoy a wider edit window with more advanced tools and options for you to choose from. You can even upload images just by dragging and dropping files!

Thank, and be thanked
See a great edit? Let the author of that edit know that you appreciate their work with the simple click of a button! They'll get a notification with the simplest and sincerest of thanks. No bells or whistles: just true, raw, genuine love.

Mobile editing
Use Miraheze's optimized mobile site to save on data and still get the content you desire at your fingertips. You can even edit using your phone or mobile device!

Real JavaScript and CSS editors
Syntax highlighting, error checking, and element collapsing... all while looking stylish and modern. Never write in ugly black-and-white plain text again!

Make your dream templates
Use TemplateStyles to make CSS run for just one template or page. You don't need to be an administrator or deal with messy template coding again! Plus, loading CSS only on pages where that template is used will improve site performance for everyone, as others don't need to load CSS code that they aren't using.

Frustrated with VisualEditor breaking things because it doesn't know how to use templates? You can teach VisualEditor how to use templates properly using TemplateData, available on all templates. Users using the VisualEditor will be able to add templates and parameters by filling in a form that you can customize. Control how the template is used so new editors won't ever be confused again.

Gadgets of your choosing
Choose from a large selection of custom user gadgets to enhance your browsing and editing experience. Enjoy advanced editing tools like HotCat and Twinkle to make editing much much easier!

The customizability you crave
Create and customize your own browsing experience through personal CSS and JS, now completely unrestricted. Develop JavaScript tools and CSS customizations anywhere in your userspace. CSS and JavaScript don't run on the login page or the user preferences page, so you always have a way out of any mistakes you make.

Administrators will be happy to hear that all pages in the MediaWiki namespace are freely editable, and there is no review process for community-wide JavaScript. Wikis were supposed to be open after all, right?
