Anniversary! February seems to be the month of anniversaries. On February 11th, 2005, The Sims Wiki was founded! So, thank you to everyone who has read and contributed to The Sims Wiki over the past nine years!

Resolved discussions. A couple discussions have wrapped up in the past week. The community has decided not to use a separate logo for the Fanon namespace, but to use the new wiki logo for all parts of the wiki. Another discussion has been resolved, clarifying how object articles are named, and adding that conclusion to the Manual of Style.

Discussions
We still have a couple active discussions that need your input. Please take a moment to weigh in on these discussions:
 * Omitting the voting procedure and clarifying consensus in RfA/RfBs
 * Reform of wiki policies
 * Changing the header image

Poll
With the announcement of The Sims Studio's Live Broadcast of Makin' Magic, some people on fansites have wondered if the broadcast is somehow related to The Sims 4. What do you think? Do you think the Makin' Magic Live Broadcast is related to The Sims 4? No, it's just an attempt to play up nostalgia for old Sims games Maybe Makin' Magic has something to do with TS4? I bet the broadcast is just a distraction!

Thanks for reading!
