Hi all, Atvelonis here with the weekly update. Yes, yes, it's Tuesday, and these are supposed to be posted on Saturday. We'll have it together next week, I swear. For the purposes of not confusing future historians, I'm going to put stuff that's happened after Saturday the 15th into the next update. If you would like to opt out of receiving these threads, please install the AnnouncementsIgnore script for personal use. Now, onto the news!

TES news

 * ZeniMax released another episode of ESO Live for September 14th at 6:00 PM EDT. It was hosted by Zone Lead Ed Stark and Senior Writer-Designer Leamon Tuttle, who spoke about some upcoming content in the expansion for . Twitch drops were held during the stream.
 * The company also put out a blog discussing the Hollowjack Crown Crate season, a giveaway event that allowed players to earn up to three Crown Crates for free. For more information, see here.
 * A news post previewing Murkmire and Update 20 to The Elder Scrolls Online went live on Thursday. It has a lot of information about the quests and gameplay features that we'll be seeing in the DLC, along with "a host of improvements to the Housing System" in Update 20. We don't yet have a release date for Murkmire, but it is scheduled for release sometime in Q4 2018.
 * Another Chaos Arena event for was held from the 14th to the 17th, with a twist: players could make use of Sheogorath's Wabbajack to get a random new selection of cards, potentially even ones outside of their chosen attributes. For more info, see the news post.
 * ZeniMax Media Inc. filed a trademark on September 10th for the term "Redfall," and speculation about potential uses for this name has been running rampant on the interwebs as of late. What do you think the trademark signifies? Perhaps a hint at the location of The Elder Scrolls VI, an upcoming expansion for ESO, or something else entirely?

Wiki news

 * To the dismay of all, Amulet of Kings stepped down from the position of Forum moderator  on the 9th. He wrote a lovely goodbye post on Discussions which you should all take the time to read―we will miss him dearly. Fortunately, Amulet says he will still show up on the wiki now and again in the future.
 * The AutoWikiBrowser (AWB) developers released version 6.0.0.1 of the program on the 15th, which allows bots  using this framework to operate on Wikia once again! My bot tasklist for AkulakhanBot has grown considerably in the time that AWB has been broken, so it's about time I got back to work here.
 * I have a sizable task that I was in the process of completing before AWB broke, but once I finish that, I will get to everything else in the "high priority" section of the list.
 * We've received a ton of new content this week from innumerable hard-working editors (too many to list). Here are just a few folks who have done an excellent job in this regard:
 * Dwemer35 – infobox data
 * FrisyN – characters and books
 * The Dagonator – info and images
 * Thifike – book images and content
 * TinyClayMan – and Crown Store content and images
 * Aramithius celebrated his second anniversary on the wiki this week. He joined TESWiki on September 10th, 2016. Congrats Ara!
 * KINMUNE had some downtime earlier this week, but she should be back at work logging the Live! Chat now.

Wikia news

 * Wikia has been unusually quiet lately, releasing no staff blogs or technical updates. All of their tasks for the week have presumably not been user-facing.

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) 02:32, September 19, 2018 (UTC)
