"Monkeys are terrific―everyone loves monkeys. And if I can't have a monkey, a lizard's the next best thing."

- Neeneban

Hi all, Atvelonis here. It's been a pretty normal week in terms of editing, although we do have a new admin and some other new developments. Let's get to it!

TES news

 * The Xbox 360 version of is now compatible with the Xbox One. You can buy the game for $14.99 from the Xbox Store.


 * The 1.6.1.0 patch for The Elder Scrolls Online is now released for the Xbox One. It includes "HDR Support, plus the new items of Mythical Aetherial Ambrosia and Apothecary’s Parcels." They have also "made several fixes to itemization (including a fix for Vicious Death), dungeons, quests, and overall gameplay."


 * ZeniMax unveiled their new "Crown Crates" (pictured) for, which can be obtained in the Crown Store and include a randomized selection of in-game items. According to ZeniMax: "You can purchase a single Crown Crate for 400 crowns. We'll also offer Crown Crate bundles, where you can get four Crates for 1500 crowns, or 15 Crates for 5000 crowns." Also, the new Crown Store Showcase is now out, which you can read more about here.

Wiki news



 * CarloV3r is now an administrator  on the wiki. Congrats Carlo!


 * On Thursday, Wikia gave users on PC the ability to follow posts on Discussions, and change the format of Discussions a little; you can now sort posts by "All" or "Following," with the "Latest" and "Trending" buttons moved to the bottom left. Currently, any post you create or reply to will be added to your following list, although any post can be added to or removed from your list. This update should come to Android and iOS within the next couple of weeks.


 * I also spoke to Wikia about the "random article" button on the mobile app, which appears to only show content. Their explanation, which you can read about here, was that the app only drew articles from a small selection of pages in order to improve loading times, instead of giving a truly random page.

Moot
We actually had a productive moot this time around. Although the topic was a little limited, we still got a lot done. Better than arguing about drama, I suppose. We pretty much covered two things: infobox theming and autoleads.

Certain infoboxes will have their colors changed to better reflect a game's motif. In the case of ESO, we wanted to distinguish it from the non-game templates (such as those for merchandise or lore, which are the default black theme). Any templates not listed below will not have their theme altered.


 * templates will be changed from the default theme to #9A862B (vote: 5-1-0).
 * templates will be changed from #111111 to #49473E, as will its DLCs (vote: 6-0-0).
 * templates will be changed from #3F0C0C to #0C0D3F (vote: 4-1-1).
 * templates will be changed from #22182E to #615868 (vote: 7-0-0).
 * templates will be changed from #652C31 to #3C271F (vote: 5-1-0).

We also spoke about removing autoleads from articles via use of KINMUNE, our main editing bot. A vote of 4-0-0 decided to remove the leads from any remaining templates, and instead incorporate them directly into articles. This will allow for templates like Quote and Main to be formatted properly in many articles.

That's about all I have for this week, folks. I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend, and as always, happy editing! —Atvelonis (talk) 03:33, December 4, 2016 (UTC)
