First of all, we have a new entry on [[User:TheSt0ryTeller|Sammy's]] little hitchiker's guide to the wiki:
* [http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:TheSt0ryTeller/Your_Guide_to_Assassin%27s_Creed_Wiki_Part_2-_Templates_and_IRC_in_Depth Your Guide to Assassin's Creed Wiki Part 2- Templates and IRC in Depth]


I've *actually* read this one, and I loved how he managed to explain it all in a easy, noob-proof manner. Specially the template sections, which is a little more than common but a crucial aspect of wiki operations nonetheless. So all editors, make sure to check it out!


I would also like to make a special mention for our oldest admin and my consigliere, [[User:Master Sima Yi]]. My second in command, his amazing writing skills and throughout knowledge of AC canon helped shape this wiki to what it has become today. Leadership and charisma aren't everything a administration needs to be successful -- it also needs efficiency, dedication and professionalism. And Sima helps to make sure the wiki has all three of them. He is the Spock to my Captain Kirk. He is the Guardian of knowledge of this Compendium of information. And he is a good friend of mine. Thank you, Phil.


Next comes the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2euy5PtZtSA&feature=player_embedded Extended Version of the ACR E3 Trailer]! Brought to my attention by [[User:Cultfanatic]], this version don't feature the awesome music of the last one, but a [[Roger Craig Smith|voice-over]] by Ezio. And it has new scenes ^^

Also, today I would like to do something that's never been done, and while it won't become standard procedure, it's something that can be useful: As many of you know, we have the IRC for all our chats and talk, but some of the staff members are in favor of ALSO enabling the Wikia Chat here on wiki as an alternative to the IRC. They say it is not a substitute for the IRC, but simply another way of getting people to talk and we can always direct them from the chat to the IRC once they are there. So, I like to hear your oppinions on the comments below!<br><center><big>Shall we have enabled Wikia Chat here or stick to the IRC only?</big></center><br>Fire away people!
Aaand this is all for now, brothers and sisters. Stay tuned for more AC news and sound off on the comments below. =]

The first DLC for Assassin's Creed: Revelations has been announced. Named "The Lost Archive", the downloadable content will feature gameplay sequences similar to Desmond's Journey ones, but focused on Subject 16's life. Unfortunaly, Ubisoft's trend of not including (or at least delaying) PC players also makes a appearance this time. Altough I expect it to be avaiable for PC at a later date, I still find the lack of explanation for excluding the PC version disgusting, without even a mention to the why.


On a cheerful note, this week the wiki has surpassed the TWO THOUSAND main article count! (everyone cheers)
It's amazing to see that little 7-page site I found in 2009 become a 2000 pages encyclopedia, a compendium of information so complete and awesome that even AC developers use for reference. A encylopedia better even than Ubisoft's official one. And all of this build by us -- editors and staff.

To celebrate this, User:Nostalgia AC (our newest Istruttore) have made a special commemorative userbox, which can be seen below along with it's code:

This user has helped the wiki achieve 2000 articles and has earned a slice of the Assassin's Poundcake.
