Hi all, Atvelonis here with the weekly update of July 28th, 2018. As updates go, this is a longer one. I'm always surprised how much stuff there is going on in the world of TES, even though the last main series game came out nearly seven years ago now. That just goes to show that the various spin-offs have created some really passionate fanbases since their releases.

TES news

 * ZeniMax announced in a news post on Tuesday that, "Now, you are able to acquire mask, shoulder, and weapon Outfit Style pages based on the game's most menacing bosses" in . Each boss' outfit style will only be available for about a month, so make sure you don't wait too long to acquire the ones you want!
 * The company also a blog titled, "ESO Tavern: The ESO Team Wants to Meet You in Cologne" in anticipation of their appearance at Gamescon on August 25th. At the ESO Tavern, fans of The Elder Scrolls Online will have a chance to meet game director Matt Firor, creative director Rich Lambert, dungeon lead Mike Finnigan, and community manager Kai Schober, as well as singer Malukah and artist Aronja-Arts. Very cool!
 * We have a new entry in the Meet the Character series about Commander Varian (article needed), who will make an appearance in the game's upcoming DLC, . You can read the text here.
 * ZeniMax released another blog announcing the start of the Midyear Mayhem event, which will last from July 26th until August 6th. They also mentioned that the annual celebration would run from August 2nd to August 14th, during which players would be able to purchase the expansion for 75% off.
 * Dire Wolf Digital has announced the start of a new Rumble Gauntlet for, to be held on July 28th–30th. You can read more about this event in the official news post (they're still reusing URLs, so very lazy).
 * Bethesda has announced that they will be hosting a charity event at QuakeCon 2018, which will take place on August 9th–12th. This year, eight charitable organizations will be in attendance. QuakeCon attendees can also swing by the charity booth (#236, to anyone who's going) to enter a raffle hosted by Bethesda; the winners may receive items such as a PS4 copy of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition with a map signed by the development team.

Wiki news

 * The wiki's next moot will take place next week on Saturday, August 4th at 4:00 PM EDT. If you have something you'd like to present, please sign up beforehand on the project page. We already have a few people who plan to make proposals, so this moot should have some actual discussion.
 * There have been a lot of great contributions this week, as usual. Here are a few editors who have been doing a lot to expand the wiki's content articles:
 * FrisyN – quest images and information
 * Rozty – quest walkthroughs
 * Rupuzioks –, , and content
 * TinyClayMan – content and Loremaster's Archives
 * Vincentius1 – Abecean Coast, Gold Coast, Riften
 * As of this past Thursday, our favorite inactive forum moderator has reached a five-year milestone on TESWiki, having joined on July 26th, 2013. Congratulations Dovahsebrom! If only you were online to read this message. :P
 * Our friendly neighborhood expert has kindly written a full blog detailing the process that should be used to set up the game for use on the wiki (of course, it also works even if you are not a wiki editor). For anyone interested in the game, please read the blog here.
 * As a side note, to anyone wondering why TES:SF has appeared on the list of double redirects for so long, it was because there was originally a mainspace page with that title redirected to Project:Style and formatting (which itself redirects to Project:Style and Formatting) prior to the "TES" shortcut being implemented. Thank you to Kirkburn for handling that one!

Wikia news

 * Wikia has released two new technical updates since last week, as follows:
 * July 25, 2018: Additional Announcements Fix for Non-EN URLs – The company fixed a URL bug related to announcements for non-English wikis.
 * July 26, 2018: Discussions search fix – My bug report! Formerly, Discussions double-encoded special characters like colons, so searching from it sent you to a "bad title" page sometimes. That has now been corrected, so the search feature should work fine for all pages.

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) 21:51, July 28, 2018 (UTC)
