Note: The standard format for all-numeric dates in the United States is month/day/year, while in many other parts of the world, dates are listed as day/month/year. This can cause confusion and miscommunication. For instance, 6/18/24 is read as June 18th for Americans, but is a nonsense date to Non-Americans.
It is best to avoid use of purely numerical dates; listing a date as 5 October/October 5th or 10 May/May 10th avoids this confusion. If a numerical date is necessary or preferred, please follow ISO standards regarding dates (YYYY-MM-DD format).

My goals for the rest of 2013 (and status)

1 - Restructure wiki Policies, including a rewrite of general wiki policies. Formalize the relationship between Policies and simple guidelines, and firmly establish AGF and other "guidelines" as acceptable policy on TSW.

Result:
Lack of community support.

2 - Create a process for highlighting well-written user blogs. Create new categories for user blogs. Possibly feature these blogs somewhere on the main page.

Result:
Categories created, blog highlighting is lagging behind.

3 - Work on a Christmas/Holiday-themed wiki theme, and on a new standard wiki theme, including a new wiki logo (possibly).

Result:
Fixed wiki theme due to Darwin implementation, but didn't implement new standard theme or Christmas theme.

4 - Reorganize and restart wiki projects, and aggressively highlight these programs and encourage users to participate. Remove administrative policies, as they are useless and no one does them anymore.

Result:
Lack of motivation

5 - Introduce new forums for Administrative discussions, Wiki development discussions, and possibly Player Theories, and migrate admin and development discussions away from the Admin Portal talk page and Development Portal talk page, thus nearly completing the process we started a year ago in moving discussions to the forums.

Result:
Theories forum was created, migration of other discussions is an ongoing process with no foreseeable "completion" date.

6 - Begin working on an implementation of Wikia's Darwin project, including updating templates to display correctly with dynamic page widths.

Result:
Most things have been adapted to cooperate with the dynamic widths.

7 - Complete the consolidation of articles about compilation packs into combined articles.

Result:
Still need to complete this for TS1 and delete or redirect existing compilation pack individual articles.

8 - Conclude the wiki migration from Parthenon to Metabox, and possibly tweak the metabox image parameters.

Result:
The vast majority of Parthenon templates have been converted.
