As the stars shine above the sky of Earth, more news come to the ACWiki...
As damned ponies march across the green sunlight-bathed landscape of the internet, the ACWiki once more proudly brings news to the world.


==Summaries!==
A couple months ago, I tried to make a news post with summaries -- I really liked the way it looked and it made easier for users to read exactly what they wanted to read without having to sort through aaall my awesome-scented writing (I know some of you love it, but some of you rather jump to the news -- be it Wiki news, AC news, or both) -- and from this post on, I'll try my best to add summaries to all news ^^ Small posts of course may still not have it, but whenever possible, I shall make your navigation easier.


'''To the news!'''


[[File:IstruttoreJack.png|left]]
==Message Wall==
First, a little staff news: I like to announce the return of [[User:War Clown]]. Once a admin here, he went into a personal leave of absence and is now back to staff, altough as a Istruttore -- if everything goes alright, he might regain his rank in the following months. So send a him a "hi" on the comments below ^^
===Overview===


===Feedback===
The ACW staff and Wikia people really are interested in the community's feedback, so make sure to post your comments below and help shape this new feature while it still is learning to walk (useful comments people -- no one likes comments like "I don't like just cause I don't like it". Truth be told, someone will make a joke of your comment and you will cry under your blanket at night over the cruelty of internet people with our still warm banfootprint on your ass XD) So let's make this feature something everyone is at least mildy happy with ^^


Next comes the big stuff -- so hold on to your panties, especially those of you who are Wikia-haters =P


As one of the most succesfull 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" features and more in the past) is that we got a heads up XD
==Revelations "new" PC release date==


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.
[[ACR|Assassin's Creed Revelations]] PC players (like yours truly) will have to wait to play the game -- we get that Ubisoft, we're used to it already -- but at least the wait will be (even) shorter (probably). LAstp sot, I had announced the release date for ACR would be ''December 2nd''. Well, in the meantime between that post and this one, Ubi went back and changed it again to '''November 29th'''. So, 2 days earlier ^^ Yey!


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 next week while we are testing it -- once it's live, we're stuck with it as it is).
==Revelations Story Trailer==


As said two times already, it will probably go live next week -- so hold your comments until it actually go live XD (no complaining about this feature based on past ones, especially since we havent tested it yet ¬¬)
As the November 15th (or 29th for PC) comes closer, the arc of [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] comes to an end. Watch below the new trailer of '''Assassin's Creed Revelations''', depicting Ezio's final great journey.

[[File:Mariaofjehoroof.png|thumb|"OhGodohGodohGod, please let me down..."]]
Now, I would like to adress something: Earlier today, the link to the video was leaked, and Ubisoft contacted us to remove it. And we did. This also marks the first time Ubisoft really contacted the wiki (contact with personal users like me or others of my staff aside). We really could use more of that in the future, Ubisoft, but for other stuff -- reaching out to us only when you need the link you let be leaked removed doesn't smell good. Nudge given.
And the final bit of news: [[ACR|Revelations]] has been (officially) delayed for PC. We all had expected it since all previous PC releases of AC games have been delayed, but now we got confirmation. Only good side of this history is that instead of bloody february, we will get it in December 2nd =P


==Final stuff==
[[File:ACR_STORY_16.png|thumb|"Uh, a shiny cookie!"]]
I like to thank everyone who wished me happy birthday last week. I forgot the thanks bit out of the next post, and when I remembered, the post was already live. So now I'm taking the time to thank you people -- really, you're awesome ^^
Ah, and the [[Project:Giveaway|Giveaway]] ends this saturday ^^


Again as a reminder, we are only ONE week away from the end of the very first [[Project:Giveaway|Assassin's Wiki Giveaway]], so if you haven't signed on yet, make sure you do before October 8th!


So that is all for today! Post your comments below – me and the staff want to hear your opinions! Safety and peace, folks.

As damned ponies march across the green sunlight-bathed landscape of the internet, the ACWiki once more proudly brings news to the world.

Summaries!

A couple months ago, I tried to make a news post with summaries -- I really liked the way it looked and it made easier for users to read exactly what they wanted to read without having to sort through aaall my awesome-scented writing (I know some of you love it, but some of you rather jump to the news -- be it Wiki news, AC news, or both) -- and from this post on, I'll try my best to add summaries to all news ^^ Small posts of course may still not have it, but whenever possible, I shall make your navigation easier.


Message Wall

Overview

Feedback

The ACW staff and Wikia people really are interested in the community's feedback, so make sure to post your comments below and help shape this new feature while it still is learning to walk (useful comments people -- no one likes comments like "I don't like just cause I don't like it". Truth be told, someone will make a joke of your comment and you will cry under your blanket at night over the cruelty of internet people with our still warm banfootprint on your ass XD) So let's make this feature something everyone is at least mildy happy with ^^


Revelations "new" PC release date

Assassin's Creed Revelations PC players (like yours truly) will have to wait to play the game -- we get that Ubisoft, we're used to it already -- but at least the wait will be (even) shorter (probably). LAstp sot, I had announced the release date for ACR would be December 2nd. Well, in the meantime between that post and this one, Ubi went back and changed it again to November 29th. So, 2 days earlier ^^ Yey!

Revelations Story Trailer

As the November 15th (or 29th for PC) comes closer, the arc of Ezio Auditore da Firenze comes to an end. Watch below the new trailer of Assassin's Creed Revelations, depicting Ezio's final great journey.

Now, I would like to adress something: Earlier today, the link to the video was leaked, and Ubisoft contacted us to remove it. And we did. This also marks the first time Ubisoft really contacted the wiki (contact with personal users like me or others of my staff aside). We really could use more of that in the future, Ubisoft, but for other stuff -- reaching out to us only when you need the link you let be leaked removed doesn't smell good. Nudge given.

Final stuff

"Uh, a shiny cookie!"

I like to thank everyone who wished me happy birthday last week. I forgot the thanks bit out of the next post, and when I remembered, the post was already live. So now I'm taking the time to thank you people -- really, you're awesome ^^


Ah, and the Giveaway ends this saturday ^^


So that is all for today! Post your comments below – me and the staff want to hear your opinions! Safety and peace, folks.

Cello out.
