User blog:Type: Sparky/One year anniversary!

It's been a while since the last Update came out, and there's plenty to mention, so without further ado, here is the most recent Update.

Next Sandbox
The next Wiki Sandbox will be on Saturday May 20th, from 3 PM EST to 4PM EST (19:00 UTC to 20:00 UTC), after which there will be an hourlong gaming session. If you’d like to come, then just show up at the right time and dig in!

New Swedish Diep.io Wiki
Ultimately has created a Swedish Version of the Diep.io Wiki! Ultimately deserves our thanks for working to ensure Diep content is available in as many languages as possible, so if anyone speaks Swedish, feel free to go help them out!

Wiki Anniversary
The Diep.io Wiki just turned one year old on Thursday, May 11th! It’s been a year since MrMewshmallow started it all, and though we’ve come far, we still have farther to go, so here’s to year two! A tribute to this Wiki’s progression can be seen.

History Project
The History Project is moving along smoothly. Each of the five Eras are now open for editing. Art has also been made for them, and the four of the five Eras have permanent images. If you’d like to expand them, to give your accounting of the Wiki’s history, check out the five Eras below:

Tank Building Contest
The contest is slightly delayed due to the lack of judges, but we are still staying optimistic about it and we hope it will progress further soon. In the meantime, keep voting for your favorite tank!

Editor of the Month
A new Editor of the Month has been chosen, and, for their help with recent projects as well as high editing standard, UltraReconKing was chosen to succeed Smgamermat77 as the Editor of the Month!

Bugs Project
Thanks to help from UltraReconKing and Underslime, the Bugs Project moves apace. Though there are still many bugs that need to be ported to their appropriate pages before it can be deleted, it will not be long until we reach that point.

News Team
We have a new member on the Team. Remember that anyone can help with the News by applying to join the News Team if you want the Weekly Updates to carry on. Anyone can join, not just Staff, and since things seem to be getting brighter for the News Team, this is the optimal time. However, the News Team still isn’t at peak efficiency, and that raises questions yet again. Do you think Weekly Updates should stop? What should be the fate of the News Team? Leave your thoughts in the Comments and Opinion Polls.

Forum Rules Tweak
The Forum Rules regarding the Off-Topic Board were tweaked to exclude “nonsens(ical) posts”. This is part of the process to slowly restrict Forum Games until everyone has migrated to Games Blogs. From now onward, Off-Topic Posts cannot be completely random or have no intrinsic value to anyone, e.g. nonsense. Though they can still be used for Games for the moment, they must have some recognizable use, and be designed to start a conversation. Posts that are nonsensical will be removed.

Promotions & Demotions

 * Sparky — Promoted to the News Team.

iOS Wiki App
Our Wiki now has an iOS Wiki App, which is a mobile-centered version of this Wiki! This should optimize mobile performance in a lot of good ways. In related news, we are also planning to switch the mobile app theme to a dark theme that better resembles our Oasis Theme and. Time for some consistency and style!

BuildVenture
A new user-friendly Desktop UI to view the Builds page has been created! It sorts builds for you based on your choices and updates itself automatically. Go to this page for more info.

New Base Font
We have been reconsidering changing the base font (What I’m typing in) on this wiki. We have narrowed down a list of suggested fonts to five fonts. To demonstrate these five fonts, we have placed each font as the base font on each on the Boss pages. Vote for your favorite font in the Opinion Polls!

Main Page Updates
There is now a Discussions Activity Feed to the right rail of the Main Page. This shows the latest activity on Discussions and should be a quick and helpful way of seeing recent activity instead of having to navigate to Discussions every time you want to view the latest happenings. In order to accommodate the lengthy module, the module was removed. Since links to those Wikis already exist at the top and bottom of the Main Page, no functionality will be lost. In addition to that, the module was temporarily taken down until it can be made into a left-column module, which will require us to wait until the iOS version of our Community App is released.

Miscellaneous

 * Modified Flags was updated to accommodate the Swedish Diep.io Wiki.
 * Buttons received a few general styling fixes.
 * The borders of main page modules were tweaked, and the main page received a few general fixes so it should be a bit more uniform and less hacky on other browsers.
 * The Discussions profile picture was updated.
 * Templates & Categories were cleaned up a bit, now many of the more useful Templates are properly categorized under the Templates Parent Category.

Scripts Installed

 * AddInsights
 * User Avatar Finder (a tool for quickly finding & adding avatar images on pages without having to hunt for them on your computer)
