...Third time trying to write this. Gotta love my WiFi.

Firstly, even though I am a bit late to this, I would like to welcome everyone (back) to the AJNGW. It really is wonderful to see this place thriving again, and I have you guys to thank for making that happen. Now, onto our subjects-

Categories
So, I've noticed a few users adding invalid categories to pages (for example, 'Wolves' or 'OC'). You're not in trouble or anything, so don't worry. I don't blame any of you either; when we dug up this Wiki again, we made a few changes to the AJNGW Policy that we didn't tell the community about; and for that I am sorry. We'll make sure to let everyone know of any changes that go on w/ the Policy from now on.

In case you didn't know already, we have a list of official categories listed on the Policy page. So, please, take a second to read them and make sure you're only adding valid categories from now on. It really saves us a lot of time if we can be sure everything is categorized as it should be.

Templates
A few of you may have caught on already, but I've been working on some new templates; WIP and Gore Warning to be exact. I have already been adding the 'WIP' template to most pages that stated they were indeed a work in progress, but it is a new-ish template, so I'll still be announcing it.

Using will result in this template:

Fairly self-explanatory. This will now be required for any pages that claim themselves to be 'massive/major WIPs'.

Using will result in this template:

This is to let users who may be more sensitive to gore know what's coming up. It will now be required on any page that has gorey content.

Those were the new templates. I've also updated the Stub and Delete template, which you can see here and here if you're really that interested.

If you'd like to see some changes in any of these templates and/or have any suggestions for new templates, we would absolutely love to hear them.

Issues with Pages
Only a few small things I'd like to brush over with this one.


 * Please, for the sake of everyone's sanity, DO NOT create blank pages. Add some content to it! any articles, regardless of just being created or not that don't have any content will be immediately tagged as a stub.


 * Try to avoid any hard to see fonts/font colours on pages. White and yellow fonts really don't work great with the theme on this Wiki. Although those colours aren't outright banned of course, we'd prefer you steer away from them.
 * Remember; we do not have the same images as the AJCW, therefore you must re-upload any photos on want on here! Just copying and pasting the source over to here won't work with images.

Alrighty, that's all I have to say for now. Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy your time with the AJNGW. Any complaints, concerns or suggestions should be directed to any of our wonderful staff members.
