Mid-August NewsWe don't know quite yet if these 'Newsletters' will return as a regular thing here on The Sims Wiki, why not participate in the discussion? For now here's a bit about the latest shakings and rumblings on the site. 5,000 articlesWE DID IT! We're past the 5K mark and still climbing! Bleeh and a morris has submitted some Custom content that you can download for free at our celebrations page.
Updated logoJust in case you haven't already noticed, we recently updated our logo following a vote of 3 to 0. The new logo has had its white background removed. Thanks to Ose for making it. New userbox page
Recently we've taken the tired old, long and slow-loading userbox page and split it into sub-pages. The main page now holds a quick overview of the newest userboxes and some examples from each category. We've also begun using the box on the right to make users aware that there's userboxes available which are relevant to the current article. Userboxes are a great way of telling people what kind of person you are, how you enjoy the game and your likes and dislikes.
Portals
Portals are a new initiative here on the Wiki. If you see this box on a page, it means there's a portal about it you can go to. While the Community Portal has always existed in some form, lately we've expanded on the idea with a Development Portal, an Admin Portal and portals for Fast Lane Stuff & Late Night. The purpose of these portals is to give a quick and easy overview about what's happening in the respective areas. The Community Portal is still your go-to page, but be sure to check out the others as well. Expect them to change over time as we get accustomed to them and learn how to improve them.
GamesCom 2010
SimPrograms has a mega-post on the subject, check it out
AdminsWe've re-structured how the Administrators page looks like how where you Request for rollback rights or administratorship. These changes will hopefully make it easier for users to recognize the heroic administrators and rollback users who fight against the sinister forces of spam and vandalism in an epic struggle... or well, it's not quite that glamorous. Admins are often compared to janitors or cleaning ladies.
