Recently, Wikia has begun developing a new feature for wikis, called flags. The flags feature is meant to utilize existing "maintenance templates", such as {{Cleanup}}, {{Delete}}, and the like, and turns them into an integrated feature on the wiki. Flags will allow us to control whether those templates are displayed for registered users, unregistered users, or both. Flags won't be included in search crawls of our pages, either.

Unlike a great many Wikia features, this one genuinely looks good to me. It's in beta development right now, but I'd love to get it up and running here on The Sims Wiki. It looks as though this is not something that can be opted-into via the Wiki Features menu, but if we agree to test it out we might be allowed in.

Be sure to check out the Flags help page, and then let us know what you think. -- LostInRiverview ^{talk • blog • contribs} 19:35, August 13, 2015 (UTC)
