Vote for LUSW!
Show your love for LUSW at the Official Top 10 list! We only have another week to do this, guys, so we have to put together! At the time of writing this blog post, we are lost in the #40's somewhere. We can do better, so let's do this! Oh, and btw, the winners get a free Wikia spotlight. That means it will show LUSW on the side and/or bottom of every page with those other random wikis that change each week.
Happy Holidays!
Well, it's that time of year again, folks, so let's wish everyone a grand happy holidays to everyone! Whether it be Christmas, Hanukkah, or any other winter holiday you celebrate, good tidings to all, and best of cheer! Though I do have the urge to share a lame Photoshop recreation of perhaps the funniest billboard I ever saw:
If that describes you, editing on the wiki is a great way to cool down; if you're not, we need editors anyways. I am currently deciding whether or not we will decorate the wiki for the holidays (massive undertaking), so, if you have any ideas, PLEASE feel free to leave them in comments! As a special treat, role-playing IS ALLOWED on this blog. Remember to give more than you get this season, everyone, for that's whe…
New Namespaces!
Well fellas, we did it! We now have three new namespaces: Story, Adventure, and Abandoned! Now what? Well, we get to work right away editing! Well, almost right away. I'm going to re-script our core template, Top. After this is done, we'll be able to start moving these pages to their respective mainspaces and filling out the new template criteria. I'll set up an Abandoned Story system, and everything will be organized! More info coming soon! I'm SO excited...
EDIT: Abandoned Story system set up, Template:Top updated, next step coming in a bit!
New Forums!
The forums have FINALLY been updated, and though still glitchy, they. Are. AWESOME! Three topics exist at the time of typing this blog, please look for them at Forum:Index! A shortcut to the forums has been added on the navigation bar, and a redirect has been established at LUSW:F. Some VERY important info has been added in one of the topics, please go explore!
Layouts, anyone?
Many of you probably already know about the layouts used to help write stories. As creator, they are difficult to work with, and as they may make things easier for the author, they makes things several times more difficult for me. I am proposing that they be removed, and a story-writing walkthrough become available. This will maximize quality, minimize efforts on my part, and the walkthrough will neutralize the change. What are everyone's thoughts? Please leave in comments!
EDIT: I just contacted Wikia about the inability to put layout builder forms into input strings for templates. Simplified, anyone using the layout can't fill out the mandatory Top template. If this is fixed, though, we may be able to use layouts after all...
ANOTHER EDIT:…
