User blog:LostInRiverview/The Sims Wiki News - 21st November 2013



It's Thursday once again, meaning it's time for the news!

Sims news
The only thing I have to report this week is some new farm-themed premium content in The Sims 3 Store. The tractor included in that bundle can actually be used to help Sims grow plants more effectively. When combined with all the other farming-related content we've received, it's odd that Maxis didn't just decide to release it all in a new expansion pack.

Wiki news
Beds was promoted to bureaucrat this week after a successful nomination. Beds previously served several months as a wiki administrator. Mate1234 has been nominated for administratorship - his nomination is awaiting discussion here.
 * User promotions news

As always, we have a few discussions ongoing in the Community Discussions forum.
 * Wiki discussions
 * A proposal has been made to rewrite the wiki's general user policies.
 * There is a discussion regarding the potential implementation of modular userboxes for use on user pages.
 * A thread has been started to discuss potential issues caused by fluid layout and to try and solve them before fluid layout is implemented.
 * Consensus still hasn't been reached on proposals to revise Chat Moderator and IRC Operator requests.
 * There is a forum thread discussing upcoming changes to the wiki blog feature and how the wiki organizes it.
 * Discussion is wrapping up on whether or not to delete or archive the old theories pages.

As always, have a great week, and happy Simming!
