Deletion discussions
There are several deletion discussions that have been open for quite some time. I'd like to ask other admins to either look over them and determine whether consensus has been reached, and, if so, what the verdict is, or to state their opinion so we can get closer to finishing them off. Thanks!

Voting procedure
I would like admin input for an official vote in the Featured Content voting thread. Ѧüя◎ґ (talk) 04:50, April 4, 2015 (UTC)
 * I would also like for an official in Articles for inhabited lots thread. Ѧüя◎ґ (talk) 05:02, April 4, 2015 (UTC)
 * Per the Voting Policy, admin permission isn't required to start a vote. The 'Articles for inhabited lots thread' looks like it would be a pretty simple vote between two options. The Featured Content voting thread might be a bit harder to parse down into something that can be voted on. Do you have any particular ideas about how that might be done? --  LostInRiverview talk • blog  •  contribs 05:23, April 4, 2015 (UTC)

Metabox update — need extra eyes for bugs
Hello administrators.

Last night, Metabox was recently updated to match with the wiki's new theme, after being developed at Metabox2. Please do not delete Metabox2, as it is needed to credit the authors!

What we do need are eyes to keep a lookout for bugs with the new template. We can't expect templates to be 100% flawless, just good enough for them to be used in most obvious circumstances. If you do see a bug, leave it at Forum:New_Metabox_development.

Updating portals
I floated this out there on the new theme discussion thread, but there have been no bites yet. So, I'm hoping that I'll get some response here.

We have several portal pages that need to be updated to the new theme. Specifically, the "module boxes", lines, header bars, and icons for the headers should be swapped out to the new style, as shown on the Main Page. We have four main portals, all of which need updating:


 * The Sims Wiki:Fanon Portal
 * The Sims Wiki:Community Portal
 * The Sims Wiki:Development Portal
 * The Sims Wiki:Admin Portal

Any help is greatly appreciated! -  LostInRiverview talk • blog  •  contribs 20:34, April 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * I made this. How does it look? All I did was changing the style to match the current wiki design... Does it need any changes? The portal mixes TS2 and TS3 icons on the headers. I like the TS3 icons, but not the TS2 ones.


 * Have you considered making a template for the headers like MP header blue and MP header green? I think this part had better be discussed in the community discussion.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  11:11, April 16, 2015 (UTC)

Unfair edits
'''C.Syde deleted something i made, it was on the Prudence Crumplebottom page about a fake one in Belladonna Cove, and he deleted what it took me about 30 minutes to make. I warned him and i have decided to come and post here, i think only Administrators and Moderators or special people should only be alowed to edit.

 * C.Syde acted in good faith and did nothing wrong in this situation. Additionally, have blocked Bkajnl for four years, for being underage. --  LostInRiverview talk • blog  •  contribs 09:36, April 20, 2015 (UTC)
