Some small changes to VFH
The VFH (Voting for Headline) lately became nothing more than a popularity contest, with people being more worried with "winning" than actually proposing interesting villains, something that goes against the spirit and purpose of VFH in the first place. As such, we've been discussing ways to improve it over on Discord, so I implemented a few changes:
- First off, the VFH rules were streamlined, removing most of the bloat. The rules are more or less the same, however, though they should be easier to understand now.
- I have also made the rules more lax, without any ban handling. This will helpfully incentive more users to participate.
- Lastly, and more importantly, we'll now be running a special "Admin's Choice" VFH during a few select months (Janu…
Fanfiction Purge
After a long discussion over at our Discord server we have decided to apply stricter rules over fanfiction pages and do a mass purge of them. Our current rules still apply but from now on we won't be making any exceptions: anything based on existing characters or franchises won't be allowed on our wiki anymore. Creepypasta is not exempt to this rule, so pages like Sonic.EXE are now gone.
Have a nice day.
UCP bug report thread
The day has finally come, UCP is now upon us. It is very likely that some things got bugged or glitched so please report anything you guys notice around and I'll pass them down for our Wiki Manager and Fandom Staff to get fixed.
Update 1: As you people might've noticed the PE notifications which appeared in the red box to the right aren't showing anymore. This feature (Wikia Notifications) was not ported to UCP and there are no plans for it to get implemented. We have moved the proposal notifications to the front page, and we also left a link to them in the top navigation.
Update 2: If you're browsing on mobile but is using desktop mode the search bar in the top won't show up. So either change back to mobile mode or configure your browser to …
No April Fools prank this year
What a world we live on now, huh?
I had planned on doing a prank this year. But I guess it wouldn't be on good taste in our current situation. Guess I'll leave it for next year.
Everything else on the wiki should go normally. This month's VFH will go as planned.
Stay safe peoples.
SCP images
I have been on the talks with User:DorkToast, who is a staff member of the official SCP wiki, about our use of the arts and renders of the SCP creatures on our own wiki.
He's been nice enough to make two templates, , and to tag the pictures accordingly. I'd just like to make other admins and users aware of what he is doing, and ask to please not revert his edits.
I'd also like to remind users about our rules regarding fanart, just because something is on the internet does not mean it is free to use.
Have a nice day and keep up with the good edits.
