Hello everyone!

Earlier today, Fandom released a minor design update to the VisualEditor, both the Visual Mode and the Source Mode (aka 2017 editor), to help simplify it and make it more intuitive. I recommend reading this blog for detailed information, but here are the short details.

• Renamed some of the tools (e.g. "paragraph" is now "normal text")

• Shuffled some icons around (e.g. the back and forward arrow buttons are now located on the far left rather than the middle)

• Hid some less-essential tools from view to make the initial editor view less overwhelming in all its glory (the tools are still accessible in dropdown menus)

• For the 2017 source mode: we removed the options available from the menu icon (those three stacked horizontal bars) -- If you want those back, you can customize your toolbar to access them from there)

• For the 2017 source mode: we used the menu icon to replace the gear icon

The blog has some helpful pictures as well. And a reminder that you can switch your preferred editor in Special:Preferences ^^ Let me know if you have any comments, concerns, or constructive feedback! Happy editing! :D

Hey everyone,

Following a user's request, I modified the ItemLevel template. Now costumes are by default in image form like other items.

But don't worry, you just have to add "-x" after the item type ("CH"=Character, "CP"=Character Pose, "COS"=Costume, "BA"= Building Attraction or "PF"=Parade Float) to turn it into text.

Additionally in this new version, you can now add concessions (="BC") and decorations (="D") to your page.

If you have any questions or requests don't hesitate! ^^

Have a wonderful day,

Thomas

Hi guys! Wanted to quickly inform you about notifications being wonky again. They're apparently not ready for the new year either.

Yesterday, older notifications were missing and users were unable to click on them. Fortunately, new notifications are now going through. The bell icon is showing the wrong count until user gets a new notifications. Users still have no access to notifications that happened during the incident plus older notifications until a complete fix (which is being worked on). "Mark all as read" is still be wonky as well.

Thank you again for your patience as we look into this issue. With that being said, since I cannot see older messages from my holiday break, I'm afraid I am missing some so feel free to ping me again if I have not responded to your message! I will also be going through my message walls again to see if I missed any pokes there.

As always, feel free to reach out on Discord (vector_sigma) if needed since I'm permanently online :) Hope you guys had a great holiday season!

Hi guys! Just wanted to give you all a quick update.

As some of you may have learned, notifications were broken from approximately 5 pm EST to 5 am earlier today. Web-notifications weren't be sent out properly, and then they weren't being removed afterwards. I'm happy to say that the issue is now resolved ^^ Thank you for your patience.

If any of you pinged me last night, feel free to poke me again! I'll be going through my message walls and checking manually. I was a bit busy extinguishing fires in Community Central last night (and it's finals week for me, rip).

As always, feel free to reach out on Discord (vector_sigma) if needed since I'm permanently online :)

Hi guys! Got another short update for you.

The Thanks Extension was added to this wiki several months ago as part of the testing phase, and it seems to be going great! Now, the thanks extension is now available for all communities. Admins can toggle it on/off on the Admin Dashboard, just like message walls and blogs. A reminder that you can view all the logs for Thanks under Special:Log/thanks.

Thanks for being part of the testing phase! :D And I hope you enjoy the extension. Feel free to leave it on or turn it off.

Hi guys!

Just wanted to quickly share that the reported notifications feature is now live on all wikis! It is currently being rolled out so it may take a few hours for it to appear for everyone, but it is live!

What is this? Once enabled, every administrator and thread moderator will receive notifications if there are any reported discussion posts, message walls, or article comments. This is on a per-wiki basis, so you might have to toggle this if you're a mod on numerous wikis. It will only be one notification per wiki, even if there are multiple reports.

To enable/disable it, please go to your Preferences -> Notifications -> Web notifications for moderators.

I recommend checking out this blog post for additional information.

If you have any questions or bug reports, let me know! :D

Hey everyone! A bit late to this announcement, but the Thanks Extension has been enabled on this wiki during the continued testing phase. You'll be seeing this extension in Recent Changes, and clicking the (thank) button will send the user a "thank you" notification for their edit. This can be disabled in your Preferences -> Notifications and uncheck "Someone thanks me for an edit I made".

If you come across any issues, please let me or the mods know. If things majorly break, let me know asap so I can pull the switch. And let me know what you think as well!

You can check out the thanks log for this wiki here, and you can read more about our technical updates here.
