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.
- User Edit Count - Returns a breakdown of a user's edits. See How To Use Edit Count for in-line use.
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 Name
as 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.
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.
- Broken pages: Drudge Scrying Orb
