• June 17, 2008 - Changes are being made to the various item templates for semantic wiki support. Please check before using them.
• June 17, 2008 - Oops! Forgot to disable anonymous edits. Sorry! You will now again need to login to edit/add content.
• June 17, 2008 - Well folks. After an unexpected but necessary server move, Elanthipedia is safe and sound on her new server. If possible, please report any noticeable problems in the Technical Green. I'll be posting a few more details about the move there. ~Naeya
• June 12, 2008 - As you may have noticed, we had stopped the item move due to technical problems with the new namespaces (AKA I don't know as much as I thought I did). Hang in there, we'll get it done or die trying (famous last words, yay!) -Caraamon
• June 12, 2008 - Fairly soon we will be moving in game item pages to new namespaces (i.e. Item:, Armor:, Weapon:, Shield:). This will almost certainly cause some link confusion at first, but Caraamon will be working day and night (or when he feels like it) to make sure everything gets fixed. So this begs the question, "Why bother?" Despite the massive headache it will cause, it will allow some nifty tricks to be implemented once we fully switch to the SemanticWiki "stuff."
• June 11, 2008 - All item templates are created, except for the PC created item template. In addition, they had automatic links to the forms that make editing them easier. Take a look and feel free to post any suggestions or comments.
• April 15, 2008 - Welcome new sysop, Caraamon. He'll be tidying up things a bit around the wiki.
• April 15, 2008 - Couple updates on the site. See here for more info.
• January 18, 2008 - Annnnd we're back! Sorry about the downtime folks. Had some server complications. The wiki will be taken down in ~7 hours for a brief update. This downtime should only be about 5-10 minutes. Sorry for any inconveniences.
• January 1, 2008 - To mark the new year, our 5,000th article was created today by Yamcer. You can view that article here: Multi-armed Devourer. Let's keep up the momentum and make 2008 a great year!
