The wikia changes and what to expect
Wikia will be changing it's look over the next 2 weeks. The current Monaco skin and the format of the page are going to completely change to a wikia css format, bringing with it new options and a brand new, sleek look. The beta for the new look has been out for several weeks, and the admins of this wiki have been participating so that we know that to expect and how to cope with the change.

Decision to not install the Wikia Badge Feature

The badge system would put into place a system where users could gain badges and points for doing various tasks around the wiki, such as adding images, blog posts, comments on articles, and just regular edits on pages.

Bureaucrat Request for this wiki
I have asked the sole bureaucrat and other admin besides myself (Anthil'za) for her to grant me Bureaucratship. I believe that I have proven myself to be a good and steady editor, as I have edited several times a week for the past 2.5 years that I have been an admin, and usually try to edit several times a day. I have also tried my best to expand the wiki, gain new users, and make it an outstanding compilation of information on the Andromeda universe. If anyone would like to object, comment or express support, please comment. Acaeton 02:18, July 24, 2010 (UTC)
Possibility of an mIRC chat channel for the wiki
Would anybody be able to or want to participate in a chat group about this wiki? Any subject could be covered from editing to discussion of episode. It would be a big help for collaborating and talking about the series, and I think that it would be a lot of fun. Anybody else feel this way?
