User blog:Banarama/DIEP.IO UPDATES, NEW WIKI THEME!!!

Today is an amazing week for all of us here. Not only has it been confirmed that Zeach is back (some fixes for server lag have made) but our wiki theme is being changed so it's more Diep-themed, attractive, and standarized. There are tons of more changes — from the game to our look to our content to our staff, nearly everything on the wiki will soon be refreshed in some way. Now that’s a Happy New Year!

*whisper whisper* Oh wait, according to new info I have just received it's not even December yet.

DIEP UPDATES AT LAST
Believe it or not, Diep has updated! After over six months of inactivity, an unmentioned change was made, temporarily removing the player count above the Minimap and restoring several servers. While this may be an insignificant update, it does bode well for the future, since Zeach has (apparently) not completely abandoned us.

Non(-Categorizing) Templates Purged
As a result of technical work by and deletion work by both them and, Non Templates, which were versions of templates that were otherwise identical but did not add categories (mainly for use on user pages for fun) have been deleted in favor of automatic code inside the template that removes the category if the page it is on is detected to not be an article.

BaseStats Design Modification (Don't Panic)
After some delay,  has now been converted to an infobox for a cleaner, less obtrusive, and more organized look. While it may look awkward right now, styling changes will soon be added that will make the template shorter, collapsible, themed, and most likely even color-coded again! Overall, this may be one small step back for the template right now, but it's onto a launchpad that will take it many great leaps ahead in design and convenience.

Fanon Polls Template
As soon as makes it, a fanon poll template will be added via bot to the bottom of every fanon page. This will allow users to provide easy feedback on conceptions: with just a click, they can rate the conception.
