 * News:
 * As of 25 May 2012, we have updated our category policy. Previously, we added overarching and game-specific categories to all articles. We are phasing out the overarching categories, pushing them over to "master categories" or categories that only contain categories. Click here to view the new policy. Click here for more information on what is being done.
 * As of 25 2012, we have revised our policy on vandalism patrolling and who is given the rollback tool. Included in the policy are the duties of patrollers, what is required to maintain the status of patroller, and how to become one. Click here for details.
 * DwemerBot has been activated as an editing bot. Operated by GramsJ, please leave suggestions for what it should edit here.
 * Jimeee, after a long time as a patroller, has become an admin! Congratulate him on his talk page!

On January 18, a poll was conducted by users of this site. The vast majority (around 90%) were in support of us joining the SOPA Blackout. I am pleased to say that we did so (we are listed as one of the official websites on the Sopa Strike Website. We are the only Wikia wiki to be listed there (Although I know that the COD wiki got involved as well). Either way - a big thank you to everyone involved with this - it was a resounding success! The image proved to be "scary" enough that it prompted quite a number of people to take action about it - as was the whole point of the strike. So - well done, everyone!
