"I am likely the greatest wizard you will ever meet. Who else do you think could create a staff enchanter?"

- Neloth

Hi all, Atvelonis here. This is the second weekly update that we'll be notifying users of via Wikia's new announcements feature (this one is being posted a little late to give the first one some room to breathe). From now on, we will be sending out just one announcement per week, usually on Saturday or Sunday, to share the weekly update with the community. Sorry to any VSTF who get pinged by this! Hopefully Wikia will be able to work something out for those folks so that they aren't overwhelmed by notification spam when the feature goes live for all wikis. For now, let's focus on news in the world of TES and wiki editing.

TES news

 * ZeniMax published their first "Meet the Character" blog for the upcoming expansion to  about a skilled hunter by the name of Hanu (article needed), which you can check out here.
 * Dire Wolf Digital released a blog on the 11th about an upcoming Chaos Arena event for which will run from July 13th to July 16th.
 * Off-topic, but I've been meticulously archiving all of the news articles about Legends recently, and I realized that Bethesda has been reusing the same URL for different Chaos Arena tournaments. Very lazy!
 * The company also posted an article about the "Master Points Leaderboard" for the game, which ranks Legends players who have placed in some of the top qualifiers for the Master Series tournament at QuakeCon 2018.

Wiki news

 * My AkulakhanBot recently finished some tasks related to the usage of the ESOGold template on quest articles for The Elder Scrolls Online. If you encounter any errors on the bot's part, please fix them and report them to me. I am now working on updating various ESO infobox variables per the formatting decisions of our most recent moot. If you have any other tedious maintenance tasks for the bot to complete, please write them down here.
 * Here are a few people who have been hard at work this past week adding new content to the wiki:
 * Blademaster Jauffre – and  dialogue
 * FrisyN – quests, characters, and books
 * Gaggle Zealot – and  content (!)
 * Rupuzioks – quests and characters
 * TinyClayMan – content

Wikia news

 * Wikia released a new staff blog on the 12th titled, "HTTPS Next Steps: URL Changes for International Wikis," which I would recommend everyone involved in an international (non-English) wiki read as soon as possible. In essence, Wikia's current URL structure does not lend itself to the HTTPS certification process, so the company plans to move the language prefix of the URL a bit to the right. For example, instead of the URL for the German wiki being, it will be  . Links using the current URL structure will redirect to the new one once the change is made. We will not have to change any interwiki links either, which is good.
 * The company also released a short statement on the New Features Board called "Update on blank navigation bar issue for mobile users" in which Wikia committed to fixing the mobile Oasis navigation bug that has been affecting users as a result of the recent nav update as quickly as possible.
 * Wikia has also given us four new technical updates this week, as follows (it's surprising how much trouble this little navigation update has caused):
 * July 10, 2018: Global nav updates
 * July 11, 2018: Global Nav Design Enabled on Mobile Layout
 * July 12, 2018: Various global header related fixes
 * July 17, 2018: A fix for category pages, update on global navigation issues

That's about all I have for this week, folks. I hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend, and as always, happy editing! ―Atvelonis (talk) 04:28, July 17, 2018 (UTC)
