Bonjour!

Despite our April fools plan not to release a newsletter this month, we’ve decided it would still be a good idea to keep you up to date with what has been going on recently, especially because we had HUGE changes last month.

Maybe you were simply overwhelmed by all the new pages and edits? So were we. Let’s quickly recap what has changed.

Remarkable contributions

What do I even begin… BaconAnEggs registered some days ago, but made over 800 edits in under a week already, immediately climbing the leaderboard to secure the 5th place. All staff pages, which were planned to be done over the course of this year have been now finished in a few days. With such a truly outstanding start, I look forward to more of Bacon’s contributions in other projects, too. Great job!

Nicodami continued working on the History pages, making substantial changes to the 2018 and 2019 changelogs. Thank you!

One more shoutout to Timmi6790, who has also recently joined us, as well as MarzieK, for making several QoL changes to various articles. Appreciated! :)

Discussion, feedback and internal changes

With the recent addition of hundreds of new pages, we have also hit an all-time record of over 2000 (!) edits in March. Our WAM, a score from 0-100 which reflects our activity level, skyrocketed from 18 to 50 last month, bringing us back to the top 1000 most active gaming wikis for a few days. Personally, I’ve had rather pessimistic expectations for the wiki this year, but I was clearly proven wrong. Thank you all <3

With all the new staff pages, updating articles like the list of all trainees, mods, recruiters etc. is easier than ever before! Simply assign the respective categories to a staff member’s page, and the lists will update automatically. As an example, adding the “Event Squad members” category to the Block2Block page will eventually add him to the Event Squad page. Simple as that! Feel free to expand the staff articles if you can, as most of them are stubs right now.

The staff articles also attracted – believe it or not – 3 new staff members to the wiki! A warm welcome to all of you, we’re glad you’ve decided to join us.

Finally, in case you missed it, here’s another plug for the Discord server we just launched! Be sure to join on the right side of the page, or alternatively by clicking here. See you there!

Upcoming content

We’ve got all staff pages covered now, but guess what, there’s much more on the list! As long as we can update the staff pages every so often, we can start focusing on other projects such as:

• Games

• Cosmetics

• Kits

• Abilities

• Maps

• Wiki Design/Layout

• History pages

Let us know in the replies which one you think deserves the most attention.

Besides that, our next featured game of the month is Super Spleef. Being only an arcade game, updating it should be a short and crisp task.

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

Thanks!
