Change Highlights
- Search bar is now higher so always on screen and has drop down suggestions.
- Many new options available on Special Pages.
- Special:MultiCategorySearch - Search for items that belong to multiple categories (and don't belong to others). For example find weapons that are Bonded and have Biting Strike.

New Help Pages
Images
- While Image: will still work, start using File: instead. In image galleries it is the same, either File: or Image: will work.
- Images no longer automatically redirect when #Redirect[[]] is placed on the image's page. Therefore it is no longer necessary to put it there (no point anymore). To use an image as a redirect, add
|link=Page Nameas a parameter. Note that for icons this will be automatically included in templates that use icons, you will only need to do this if you are directly specifying an image. The {{Icon}} template will be updated and can also be used for this. On pages that are terminal (for the icon for a Pyreal mote, Pyreal Mote is the terminal page) icons should not redirect, but should go to their image file page (File:Pyreal Mote Icon.png.
Unexpected Behavior
Describe here, if noncosmetic and needs immediate attention please leave a message on Tlosk's talk page.
- Sidebar below bottom of page on Template:Map Point.
- Update: Markup issue isolated to that page, not indicative of a larger problem.
- Some search items, for example "Axe" display no results in search.
- Update: The search table has been refreshed and should work for all terms again.
- Broken pages: Drudge Scrying Orb
- Update: There are problems with the revision table between about Nov 7th, 2008 and Dec 14th, 2008 and any pages that were last updated during that period won't display. I'm working on a fix now to repair it. Please post if you find any pages that are not displaying and were last updated on a date outside that range.
- Update: The table has been successfully repaired, if you come across a broken page, click History, click on the most recent (top most) version, click edit and save. (Before the repair any versions in the affected date range would come up empty).
