User blog:Banarama/NEW GUIDELINES & CHAT IS GONE!

This wiki has been full of drama, unfortunately, but there is plenty to look forward to. Read ahead!

Wiki Sandbox
Due to the interruption of Chat not actually existing anymore, the next Wiki Sandbox will be delayed until Sunday, May 28th from 3 PM EST to 4 PM EST. A good deal of this Sandbox will be devoted to discussing the effects of turning off chat and the heated climate, so get ready.

New Discord Server
As the old server was akin to a tomb, we switched the official Diep.io Wiki server to one used by Adasba, Redditors, & other YouTubers. It is much more lively & will prove more interesting, so check it out.

The Tank Building Contest is Back!
After sudden changes in priorities, the TBC (Tank Building Contest) was abandoned for a while because of errors with the format. Now, we've decided to fix these errors and move on! Please, vote for your favorite tanks at the TBC Threads linked below!

Forum Rules Amendment
Per the latest Sandbox, the Forum Rules were amended to place limits on the length of threads. From now onward, threads in the General and Diep.io Boards will be closed whenever they reach 300 replies, while threads in other Boards will be closed after 150 replies. Only the Off-Topic Board has no restriction, although Threads will still auto-close after 500 replies.

Interlanguage Helper Retirement
The old initiative of having dedicated Interlanguage Helpers has been abandoned, as no one who held the title was currently helping in that fashion. Anyone is still welcome to translate pages and fix Interlanguage Links however.

Temporary Chat Hiatus
Due to increasing social disruption and tension on the Wiki, Chat has been disabled for everyone’s safety; primarily to prevent PM harassment in addition to bringing any debates into the main Wiki where it can be easily seen.

New Banning Guidelines
While not absolute rules, general guidelines and best-practices for blocking and block appeals were laid out at Help:Block. It can be read to get a better understanding of why Moderators block and what to do if you yourself end up blocked.

Localized Help Pages
From time to time, Help Pages will be remade with Diep.io Wiki-specific information & guides. One such Help Page that will be remade is Help:Interlanguage link. However, this will be done rarely, as the default Help Pages provided by Fandom are usually suitable for our needs.

Main Page Revamp!
As per, the main page, which currently looks rather like a glorified (though less aesthetically pleasing) article, is set to be revamped! Bye bye hard-to-maintain and finicky navigation modules, hello to bright images and great-looking headers. Make sure to leave your feedback as we work out the details of this exciting new change!

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!

Miscellaneous

 * Buttons & Tables of Contents received minor fixes.
 * Modified Flags was tweaked several times.
 * A bug where the Vietnamese Flag sometimes didn’t display properly was fixed.
 * The Swedish Diep.io Wiki was moved to a higher spot on the Interlanguage Links dropdown due to its growing size.
