"The heat of battle is the fire that forges the strongest blades. It's an old Nord proverb. That, and a true Nord never misses a chance to test her worth."

Hi all, Atvelonis here with your weekly wiki update once again. This week has been pretty good, and there have been some super great steps forward this time around. So let's get to it!


 * , the third DLC for, was released on PC on the 7th. It will be released on Xbox One on the 22nd, and on PlayStation 4 on the 23rd. Users like Ikabite are already working on documenting everything from it, but please join in as well if you have the DLC.


 * Recently, Cörey has finally returned to us to finish setting up NumidiumBot. Numidium runs on Python and can be used to make mass edits such as link or template fixes relatively quickly. Numidium's first order of business was to update the template to , and after successfully finishing that, the bot has moved on to the templates for the other games. If you want Numidium to complete a maintenance task, talk to an  administrator  or Cörey.


 * We have two new applications for chat moderator . So please vote on whether or not Qahnaarin1997 and Ashley Kirshbaum should become chat moderators.


 * The Discussions feature had an update recently. Users can now report inappropriate or off-topic posts to moderators, who will see the posts and either dismiss the request or delete the post.


 * The chat moderator re-evaluations have ended. Each current chat moderator will stay in their position for the time being. Now, the bot re-evaluations have begun. Please vote on which bots should keep their bot flags and which ones should lose them.


 * ShawnCognitionCP has suggested we begin documenting out-of-game lore topics more in-depth, a project he would primarily be developing. Currently, we have relatively few entirely out-of-game lore articles, but if this idea gets any further we should have a much rounder selection in the future.


 * I would like to point out to everyone that March 8th marked Timeoin's fifth year on the wiki. If you don't know Tim, he's our friendly neighborhood Australian, with almost 75,000 edits to his name. He's the one who basically created the wiki as we know it and I wanted to thank him for everything he's done to make this place so great.

Moot
We had a nice moot this week, and chat has been very busy lately as well which is always exciting.


 * It was suggested that we slow down the featured image process to only one image per month rather than one per week, as it is now featured on the Main Page. This would allow for a larger selection of images and would result in only the best images being chosen. An image will still appear in the updates every week, and the featured image will be chosen from the previous month's weekly images at the end of the month.


 * We also voted to begin the process of rewriting the Chat, Forum, and Discussions guidelines and policies. A draft of the new rules will be submitted to a consensus track thread in the near future, which the community will suggest further changes to.


 * Lastly, we agreed that, to form stronger ties with the Discussions community on our mobile app, we will be posting a modified version of our weekly update there as well as here. The update which would appear there would be a little shorter and would only include information relevant to the community on there, such as new game announcements and updates to the app.

That's all I have for this week. Keep in mind that we're nearing 42,000 pages, which would mean that for the first time we'll actually have surpassed the UESP in page count. That is a huge landmark and it will be an important moment in our history once that happens. Anyway, goodbye for now everyone, and happy editing! —Atvelonis (talk) 04:54, March 13, 2016 (UTC)
