Zelda Wiki:Latest Announcements


 * October 23, 2013 - New Template Editing Feature - Thanks to another newly installed extension, a new "preview page with this template" option will now appear when editing templates. This feature allows editors to preview a page as it would appear if the current edit to the template was saved. In addition, there is now a special page for testing sandboxed templates.


 * October 23, 2013 - Speed Runs - When updating records on the Speed Run page, the corresponding game articles will now update automatically, without needing to be edited. This is possible thanks to a newly installed MediaWiki extension. Also, we'd like to thank all the editors who have been keeping the speedrun records up to date. We hope you enjoy this new timesaver!


 * September 22, 2013 - We Promised, We Delivered! - After the loss of a week's worth of images, we are proud to report that the images up to the 20th have been restored. However, any images uploaded after that time have been lost as a result. It is an unfortunate tradeoff, but compare two days of lost work to eight, and you'll see our reasoning. You may have noticed that Zelda Wiki has been experiencing periods where we were either offline again or where edits could not be saved. This is because we recently locked the database so we could perform a sitewide backup. This will ensure that we never lose this much data again. As the server admin, I'd like to personally say that I apologize for the inconvenience to you all, and I promise that this won't be a regular occurrence. Thank you for your patience and understanding.


 * September 21, 2013 - File Loss - Due to an extensive site issue, Zelda Wiki was restored to a backup. Unfortunately, this resulted in the loss of all uploads to the wiki since September 12 last week. Users are encouraged to re-upload the lost files if possible. We apologize deeply for the inconvenience and will do our best to assure this does not reoccur.
