	Hi Master Sima Yi,		Hi Master Sima Yi,

	I am following up on the subject of the [[Help:Discussions\|Discussions]] feature. From past conversations I know that there is not much enthusiasm from the Assassin's Creed editing community regarding this feature. As you may know, eventually the Forum will be retired and have its content migrated to Discussions. In fact, we just posted a [w:c:community:User_blog:BertH/Migrating_Forum_Content_to_Discussions\|blog about Forum migration]] on Community Central today. With its very active Forum, we don’t have any immediate plans to migrate this community’s Forum, just to be clear. But that will happen eventually.

From past conversations I know that there is not much enthusiasm from the Assassin's Creed editing community regarding this feature. As you may know, eventually the Forum will be retired and have its content migrated to Discussions. In fact, we just posted a [w:c:community:User_blog:BertH/Migrating_Forum_Content_to_Discussions\|blog about Forum migration]] on Community Central today. With its very active Forum, we don’t have any immediate plans to migrate this community’s Forum, just to be clear. But that will happen eventually.

	However, due to an internal miscommunication, Discussions was enabled in the Assassin’s Creed [[Help:Community_Apps\|community app]] early in 2017. Normally Discussions is also enabled on the desktop portion of the community at the same time, but this did not occur, so most of the editing community is likely unaware of Discussions. However, the users in the app have formed a very solid subcommunity of their own. No one from the wiki side needs to get involved in Discussions unless they wish to do that, but we do need to enable the web component of the feature in order to make the full suite of moderation tools available. FANDOM and some volunteer users will be providing moderation, so I want to reiterate that nothing new is being required from you or other admins and editors right now.

	Hi Sima. Is it deliberate that the ability to make forum posts has been disabled? I'm not sure if it's a side-effect of [[Forum:Wiki discussion]] being protected or not, but I get a protected page alert whenever I try and create a new forum post.

	== Precursor box issue ==		== Precursor box issue ==

	Hey Master Sima Yi, I believe you're familiar with the issue about whether there is one Precursor box in the series, with all of them the same, or whether Ezio's box is different from Shay's box? It's very convoluted, so I'd rather not to explain it if you're already familiar. I know you were part of the discussion that took place in [[Talk:Precursor boxes]]. In any case, as a user pointed out (and as did DipsonDP), Aymar actually confirmed that all the boxes are the same in a recent AMA about 4 months back. This does make the most sense, especially because of the War Letter in ''Rogue'' which I see you pointed out before. You can see the most recent discussion on this [[Thread:212830\|here]]. However, Aymar not only contradicts Richard Farrese but also ''The Essential Guide'' which very clearly states that there are two boxes. ''The Essential Guide'' is a recent source, but not as recent as Aymar's AMA.

	In any case, we really should resolve this once and for all. I think this might be something we really should contact them about for clarification. Aymar did give his answer, but he didn't address the inconsistency. Otherwise, I'd be in favor of taking Aymar's word as the most authoritative source because (a) he's the head of content (b) I personally think ''Rogue'''s writers, including Farrese did not have a good grasp on the lore (c) it's the most recent word on it (d) ''The Essential Guide'' does say there are two boxes almost certainly referring to Ezio's box and Shay's box as distinct, but it actually does not explicitly describe the other box, meaning we can assume that the first box is the box that the entire series has shown while the latter simply has never appeared even if this is probably not what the writers of the book intended.

	Hey hey :) As [[User:Raylan13\|Raylan13]] mentioned last month, FANDOM have partnered with Ubisoft to give your wiki a main page redesign for the release of ''Origins''. That mockup is now complete and received Ubisoft's approval earlier today. You can see it at [[w:c:czech-ac-out\|our sandbox]]. While it's mostly feature complete over there, you will find the odd thing that will work better once it gets ported over here on the live wiki. In particular, there are some navigational elements that depend on the category tree that exists here but would be needlessly time-consuming to replicate on a sandbox wiki.

	That's why we'd like to implement '''here''' tomorrow, 3 November 2017, and then tweak it with your help. So please take a look and see if there are any '''major''' issues you have with it before we bring it over. Once we get it over here, you can look it over with a more detailed eye, and we can take your concerns back to the Ubisoft reps to negotiate the final, locked design.

	Hi Master Sima Yi,		Hi Master Sima Yi,

	I am following up on the subject of the [[Help:Discussions\|Discussions]] feature. From past conversations I know that there is not much enthusiasm from the Assassin's Creed editing community regarding this feature. As you may know, eventually the Forum will be retired and have its content migrated to Discussions. In fact, we just posted a [[w:c:community:User_blog:BertH/Migrating_Forum_Content_to_Discussions\|blog about Forum migration]] on Community Central today. With its very active Forum, we don’t have any immediate plans to migrate this community’s Forum, just to be clear. But that will happen eventually.

With its very active Forum, we don’t have any immediate plans to migrate this community’s Forum, just to be clear. But that will happen eventually.

	However, due to an internal miscommunication, Discussions was enabled in the Assassin’s Creed [[Help:Community_Apps\|community app]] early in 2017. Normally Discussions is also enabled on the desktop portion of the community at the same time, but this did not occur, so most of the editing community is likely unaware of Discussions. However, the users in the app have formed a very solid subcommunity of their own. No one from the wiki side needs to get involved in Discussions unless they wish to do that, but we do need to enable the web component of the feature in order to make the full suite of moderation tools available. FANDOM and some volunteer users will be providing moderation, so I want to reiterate that nothing new is being required from you or other admins and editors right now.

	Fandom has entered into a partnership with Ubisoft :) Due to the upcoming release of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'', they're offering to supply our design team with visual assets. The purpose is to use them to provide the wiki with a new logo, background, and other design features. The main impact is generally seen on the Main Page.

	Please respond and let us know if you and your community would be interested in our help with a visual update. We would do our best to make sure it reflects the upcoming game as much as possible without losing the features you feel are most important to your users. Our most recent admin and community collaboration can be seen at the [[w:c:masseffect\|Mass Effect wiki]]. I will personally be here to help answer questions or concerns, and of course, to help with editing once the game is released if you need it; the heavy lifting in terms of design implementation will likely be performed by [[User:JoePlay\|JoePlay]] or a member of his team.

	:You have a local user group available called "Discussions Moderators" and users in that group have moderation options in the feature. The only thing that is restricted to admins is setting up the categories, which are the equivalent of boards in the Forum. Right now there are no categories, everything goes into "General" which is invisible to regular users until more than one category exists. The activity level right now may not require categories, but it's interesting to think about as you look ahead. I suggest checking out some very active Discussions areas, such as [http://fallout.wikia.com/d Fallout Wiki] and [http://dc.wikia.com/d DC Database] to get a sense of how things work with categories and moderation. -[[User:BertH\|BertH]] <staff /> <small>([[w:c:community:Special:Forum\|help forum]] \| [[w:c:community:Blog:Wikia_Staff_Blog \|blog]])</small> 18:50, August 14, 2017 (UTC)		:You have a local user group available called "Discussions Moderators" and users in that group have moderation options in the feature.
