==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!
==Custom content==
[[Custom content]] is a big part of ''The Sims'' series, but we've traditionally resisted documenting them on the wiki in favor of focusing on canonical content instead. Thanks to the many freedoms that our new hosting provider provides to us, we are proud to announce the [[Project:Custom Content Portal|Custom content namespace]], which covers everything from [[mod]]s to custom [[neighborhood]]s and [[world]]s! If you're a custom content creator, feel free to create a page for your work!
==For more advanced editors...==
Line 53 ⟶ 56:
===Hide edits, not pages===
Very problematic edits can now be hidden from public view without having to delete the entire page. With [[Help:Revision deletion|revision deletion]], you can remove entire edits—or just the edit summary—without ruining the integrity of the page history. They will appear as struck-out entries, so people will know that there's still an edit there, but they won't be able to view it.
===Editnotices you can use===
Administrators can now configure [[Help:Editnotice|editnotices]] to appear at the top of the edit window for any page of their choosing. You can choose to display an editnotice for entire namespaces, a group of pages, or just a single page. Creating and editing editnotices has never been easier. You can even choose to have an editnotice automatically hide itself after a period of time!
===Track your support tickets===
Ever wonder what Wikia does to your bug reports after you send them in? On Miraheze, you can interact directly with the developers and see the code they modify on [[phab:|Phabricator]], a sleek, modern platform for bug reports and code review. No more "disappearing into cyberspace"; transparency is for everyone!
===A commitment to stay updated===
Miraheze pledges to do their best to stay on the latest version of MediaWiki, the software that powers The Sims Wiki. While Wikia continues to slog on using an outdated, 2015 version of the software, Miraheze makes updating to the latest version a priority for them. This means that you'll be able to take advantage of any new features created by the MediaWiki developers soon after they're released, as well as enjoy the latest security and usability updates made for Wikipedia.
==It's all community==
Miraheze is a non-profit, community-driven initiative dedicated to providing a free wiki hosting service where power is in the hands of the communities that edit here. Decisions that affect the entire site are made by [[m:Requests for Comment|global community discussions]] where everyone is welcome to comment on. The Sims Wiki is elated to be part of this exciting new community. Excited too? See how you can [[m:Contributing|contribute]], or [[m:Donate|donate]] to support the movement!
