Hey everyone!

As you may have noticed, BlueandGreen and me have been working on restarting the Weekly Recaps. This project was unexpectedly cancelled about 2 years ago as a consequence of time constraints, but we hope to bring it back this year as a bi-weekly series every other Monday.

Remarkable contributions

With a considerable activity increase in the last weeks, we’re thankful for all of your contributions! Here are the users who stood out the most with their work:

• Zyeos updated a bunch of staff pages, including the Builder, Developer and Admin article. Thanks!
• Twichlove:D added some tips to our last featured game page and its kits, SSM. Great job!
• CloudGamer360 took his time to create multiple Bedrock pages from the ground up. We wanted to show him our appreciation by awarding the User of the Month tag. Thank you!

Discussion, feedback and internal changes

Just like Cloud, GwenTheGuardian is a Bedrock staff member who decided to join us recently. Welcome to both of you again!

The mass demotion and resignation of staff surely hasn’t gone unheard. The following staff were demoted due to their long-term inactivity: Xytl, Chaseymichael, Amidala skywalker, MidgetGolem and Scratblue.

Prism55Writes decided to leave the staff team on his own due to lack of activity and time. You should definitely thank all of them for their previous work on the team. Farewell!

With that in mind, the following staff members will stay on the team: BlueandGreen, RobbinK and myself. If you’re striving to assist us, you should think about applying for Wiki staff here: Staff application
We would be excited to start working with you!

Looking at the technical changes, we’ve redesigned the top navigation bar to include Bedrock content and an updated “Mineplex Community” tab. The navigation box for game pages has also been adjusted and fixed. Minor improvements this week include content additions towards some kit templates and a revised homepage. BlueandGreen also reformatted the Community policy page. Let us know if you have any feedback for these changes.

Upcoming content

The next featured game is Pumpkin's Revenge. It just needs a minor overhaul to be up to date with the rest of the pages, go ahead and get started if you can.

We’ve also decided to add pages for each kit and each ability to associate all game features a little better and to elaborate on strategies more detailed than on the main page. This is a huge task for all of us, and I do not believe that mentioned goal will be reached by the end of 2018, but we’re on a good way!

Another project we want to finish is the readability for mobile users which has been bugging us for a while now. The minigame infobox has to be updated to a new format as soon as possible, as of right now it can be quite difficult to access all information inside from phone devices.

If you have any other suggestions for the newsletters or you want to share other thoughts, make sure to leave a reply. 

Thanks! :)
