::FWIW, the bot isn't online 24/7 (I don't really want to pay for a shell) and relies entirely on my activity, meaning where it may be faster when I'm online, it wouldn't be when I'm offline. Just a heads up. {{GGsig}} 18:24, August 20, 2012 (UTC)
:::Okay seeing as this has gone almost completely ignored, I've gone ahead and opted for the bot idea. It's still in testing though it appears to be mostly working. You can request quick image moves [[User:Bawt/Move Requests|here]]. It will also change the file links on any pages containing the image to prevent redlinks. {{GGsig}} 14:08, August 21, 2012 (UTC)
==Revised Player Stories policy==
Due to the recent deletion of Player Stories, I've altered [[The_Sims_Wiki:Policy/Creation_Policies#Player_stories|our pre-existing policy on their creation]]. For sake of reference, I've included the old and new versions below:
;Old Version
<blockquote>
The Sims Wiki policy on [[The Sims Wiki:Player stories|Player stories]]. See also The Sims Wiki's [[The Sims Wiki:Policy#Fanon Policy|Fanon policy]] for rules regarding fan fiction, and its placement in the Fanon Namespace.
# No CAS player stories should exist in the main namespace of the wiki except for articles designated for player stories. If a CAS page has been created it should be moved to the user namespace, i.e. prefixed with "User:<username>". Users can write stories in their blog, on a user page or at [[Create-A-Sim/Player stories]].
# Player stories for pre-made characters and neighborhoods are to be placed on a subpage of the main article. The page should be clearly marked as a player story and a link should be provided from the character's, family's or neighborhood's page, usually in an infobox.
# Writers should provide their signature (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) after their stories.
# Numerical ages are considered player stories as they are presumptive of information that is not cited and should not be included in Sim articles or infoboxes.
</blockquote>
;New Version
<blockquote>
The Sims Wiki policy on [[The Sims Wiki:Player stories|Player stories]]. See also The Sims Wiki's [[The Sims Wiki:Policy#Fanon Policy|Fanon policy]] for rules regarding fan fiction, and its placement in the Fanon Namespace.
# No player-created character (CAS) player stories should exist in the main namespace of the wiki. If a CAS page has been created it should be moved to the Fanon namespace or, if it is in need of cleanup to meet Fanon namespace standards, to the user's namespace, i.e. prefixed with "User:<username>". Users can write stories in their blog, on a user page, or in the Fanon namespace.
# Player stories for pre-made characters and neighborhoods are not to be placed on any article in the main namespace, or in an article talk page or an article sub-page.
# Numerical ages are considered player stories as they are presumptive of information that is not cited and should not be included in Sim articles or infoboxes.
# Due to [[The_Sims_Wiki_talk:Community_Portal/Archive_19#Revisited:_Eliminating_Player_Stories|a community discussion and consensus]], as of 24 August 2012 Player Stories are no longer be hosted on subpages of main articles (e.g. 'Bella Goth/Player stories'). Reintroduction of Player Stories on subpages of main namespace articles must be approved by community consensus beforehand.

We can fine-tune the language of this policy if it needs it. I just wanted to make you all aware that the official policy has been changed to reflect the community's decision. Leave a message below if there are any issues here to be addressed. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LiR</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">speak</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">read</font>]]</sup>''' 21:12, August 24, 2012 (UTC)
