As the stars shine above the sky of Earth, more news come to the ACWiki...
The first DLC for [[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]] has been announced. Named [[The Lost Archive|"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.




'''To the news!'''
On a cheerful note, this week the wiki has surpassed the TWO THOUSAND main article count! <small>(everyone cheers)</small><br />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:
{{Template:UserPoundcake}}


As one of the most succesful gaming wikis out there and a great source of feedback in the past, we are continuing our tradition of being the testbed to new Wikia features -- the difference this time (unlike with the "no red links" and "other wikis userpage icons" and others in the past) is that we got a heads up XD
<br />
<nowiki>{{Template:UserPoundcake}}</nowiki>


A new feature is coming live next week that will be a major change in the way talkpages are handled. The '''Message Wall", as it is called, will remove the need to enter edit mode whenever leaving someone a message and will make it easier for us to find and create new topics. We'll be able to follow specific conversations instead of entire pages, we won't have to worry about archiving anymore, and new users will "get it" immediately -- no more having to explain how to sign things, or how to reply in a way that sends a notification. It's like the commentary system, but more elaborate and organized.


The test will probably go live next week. When this happens, our existing user talk pages will be archived and protected, so everything will be avaiable and nothing will be deleted ^^ Very few wikis are part of this project, and Wikia Staff will keep a close eye here to make sure the system is to everyone's liking. This feature will eventually go live to all wikis, so this is a great opportunity to help shape the way Message Wall looks and works (so bitch about it while we are testing it -- once it's live, we're stuck with it).


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.




Today we focus specifically on important wikimatters, since we have just one little AC related news since last week.

First of all, we have a new entry on [[User:TheSt0ryTeller|Sammy's]] little hitchiker's guide to the wiki:
Aaand this is all for now, brothers and sisters. Stay tuned for more AC news and sound off on the comments below. =]

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!
Safety and peace, folks.
 
 
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!

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to Outback to celebrate with some friends and my sweetheart the fantastic happenstance of my birth =P
 
So that is all for today! Post your comments below – me and the staff want to hear your opinions! Safety and peace, and a good week to all!

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.
