Board Thread:Wiki Discussion/@comment-5632187-20150321154223

Hey everyone, and welcome to the first weekly update! As opposed to solely covering things that have happened in the past week, this specific one will serve as a more broad update, as there are quite a few recent events I felt were worth mentioning even though they happened prior to this week. So without further ado, let's get into it!


 * We have two discussions currently open on the Wiki Discussion Board which require more input:
 * One discussion involves changing the names of enemies
 * The other discussion involves whether or not removed content should be considered canon
 * We recently created the Forum Guidelines, which can be found here. They should be consulted prior to creating a thread or participating in one on the Forums. They can also be found by clicking the Forum Policies/FAQ button on the Forum homepage.
 * A friendly reminder that we're all editors working towards the same purpose: To build a great database for a couple great games. Try to keep this in mind in the coming week :)
 * There's a new poll on the main page of the Wiki for the month of March, and in honor of Dark Souls II being one year old this month, it involves which Souls game is your favorite. I picked Dark Souls II, which did you pick?
 * Seeing as Bloodborne releases in 3 days, a drop in activity can be expected among many editors from this Wiki, as many will migrate over to the Bloodborne Wiki.
 * The recent release of Scholar of the First Sin has changed many item descriptions, please remember to keep the old description on the page in a tabber under the tab titled “DaSII” or “DkSII”. If you need help with using a tabber, myself or the other Sysops will be happy to help.
 * We are always open to staff nominations, so if you believe a user should be promoted to a certain position on the Wiki, feel free to nominate them!

And, something I decided to do very last minute with these updates: Member shoutout of the week! This will be our way to recognize a user who has proved himself/herself to be of great service to the Wiki in the past week. The criteria aren't restricted just to editing, all aspects of the Wiki are legitimate for this. This week's member shout out goes to.... Matsczon! Not only has Mats been great on the mainspace with helping stop vandals, reporting vandals, and making quality edits, he has also been doing a great job with his recent promotion to Moderator, keeping the Forums alive and well!

I hope we have a great week, and I'll see you all on the 28th for our next update!
