Happy New Year, Everyone.

2016. For me, it begins in just a few hours. It got me thinking - we need to improve, every year, become a better and more efficient wiki than we were in the previous year. How could we do that in 2016? I came up with a few, but this wiki is run by the community, not by one person - so your ideas are welcome as well. Please do leave your ideas and thoughts below.

Firstly, I wanted to revamp the colour schemes in the wiki. Right now, quite a few people here have highlights on their names and their comment boxes. I had figured out some sort of a system before, but it looks like a complete mess as of now. I'd like to start by changing that. Users with certain permissions, say, a moderator - all moderators will have the same colour for their comment box and their name. It will change if they get promoted of demoted. I think I will just have to change some code for this, but if you have changed the colours for yourself, it would be great if you could reset it to default to make my job easier. I will send another message to everyone informing you of the colour code that will then be in place.

Secondly, I was thinking about fixing the tags (ahhh I forget if they're actually called tags, but it's those things at the bottom of the page that categorise the page). Right now, we have a few Respawnables wiki tags (wait, I think they're actually called categories..) a few premium weapon tags and more - it's just another mess. No one really knows how to correctly use them, people sometimes even create new ones. So please, this is going to take a very long time to sort out (we have A LOT of pages), so please don't add any tags you are not sure about. If you see a tag that you think is not fit for the page, please do remove it. I will send another message to everyone in the wiki with the appropriate rules and how to use these tags properly once I have gotten them sorted.

Lastly, the backgrounds and logos. I see that we change the little "Respawnables Wiki" logo at the top depending on the seaon (kudos for that) - I'd like to continue doing this not only for that logo, but also for the wiki background and for that little picture that sits on next to the tab name on your browser. I was thinking of appointing someone to hold a small event every season, so people coulld contribute their designs. What do you think?

That's it for now from me. Please do leave your thoughts below, or even if you have any ideas or want to suggest any changes to this plan.

Have A Great 2016,

Mr. Spoopy rish
