| − | * A link to the forums has now been placed in the navigation tool bar. Be sure to check in often to see what is new and planned for the wiki!
| + | __NOTOC__ <!-- This removes the table of contents --> |
| − | * [[Image:Wikilogo.jpg|right]]The site now has an icon! Some browsers ([http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/ Firefox] and [http://www.opera.com/ Opera], among others) support icons in the address bar, and you will now see it there. Others (such as Internet Explorer) support the icon, but only in bookmarks.
| + | __NOEDITSECTION__ <!-- This removes the section edit links --> |
| − | * The sites formerly listed on the front page have been moved to the Community portal page, accessible by a link in the navigation box on the left from every page. Please check out some of these sites, as many of them provide a wide variety of utilities and services and in-depth information!
| + | |
| − | * The effort to complete the documentation of the City of Villains [[CoV Exploration Badges|exploration badges]] in a standardized format is done. (See News item below for more information.)
| + | |
| − | * Added a Warburg [[Missile Launch Mission]] article to describe the steps involved in completing this mission and receiving your Warburg temporary powers!
| + | |
| − | * Confused about how coordates work in City of Heroes and City of Villains? Check out the new article that details the [[coordinates|coordinate system]]!
| + | |
| − | * The site has recently changed hosting providers. This process should be rather transparent, as everything works as it did before. There is one change, however: the site URL has now changed to http://paragonwiki.com. The old site (<nowiki>http://www.pcfreepress.com/wiki</nowiki>) is redirecting to the new site, so all old links will still work, but please use the new URL going forward.
| + | |
| − | * Yes, we do stay on top of everything! Within hours of the [[Valentine's Day Event 2006]], Paragon Wiki had articles about the event itself and the two badges ([[Heart of Light Badge|Heart of Light]] for heroes and [[Heart of Darkness Badge|Heart of Darkness]] for villains)!
| + | |
| − | * Thanks to the dedicated efforts of [[User:StarGeek|StarGeek]] and [[User:Yakovlev|Yakovlev]], there is a ton of new content about villain groups in the wiki. Check out the [[:Category:Enemies|Enemies category]] for the list of enemies, expanding daily through the hard work of these users.

| − | | + | |
| − | ==== User Database Change ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | As mentioned in a notice at the top of the site, the user database has changed to use the [http://pcfreepress.com/forums/ PC Free Press/Paragon Wiki forums] users and passwords instead of maintaining separate usernames and passwords for each. If any problems are experienced, please post a message on the forums or notify [mailto:tonyv@pcfreepress.com tonyv@pcfreepress.com].

| − | ==== Site Listed on Fansite Portal ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This site was submitted to the official [http://www.cityofheroes.com/community/fansites_info.html Fan Site Portal] at the same time that the new Heroic theme was rolled out. Today, one of the members of the CoH Web Team (Awry) sent the following message:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | "After careful review we thought your site looked great and has been approved. It should be up very shortly. Thanks for submitting!"
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== User Database Integration Testing Completed ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Final testing of the user database integration between MediaWiki and phpBB has been completed, and by Sunday, March 13, 2006, all user account validation will be checked against the PC Free Press/Paragon Wiki forums user database instead of the wiki maintaining its own separate user databse. Wiki users will be forced to create a forums account in the process, but this change will enable users to maintain the same username and password between the wiki and the forums instead of having two separate accounts.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | A notice has been placed at the top of the front page of the wiki to alert users of the change.

| − | ==== New Heroic Wiki Skin Implemented ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Changes are afoot! There is a new skin called "Heroic," and it has been set to the default skin of the wiki. All existing accounts have also been switched over to the new skin. If you prefer the old skin, simply go to your Preferences under the Skin settings, and set your skin back to MonoBook.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The changes are purely cosmetic and do not affect the look or feel of the actual wiki content, merely the outer navigational, header, and footer appearance. If you experience any difficulties with this skin or you have any comments or questions, please post a message on the [http://paragonwiki.com/forums wiki forums] and let me know. Otherwise, enjoy!

| − | ==== Software Upgrade ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The Paragon Wiki has been [[Special:Version|upgraded]]! This weekend, after extensive testing and and development of software installations and automation scripts, the MediaWiki software that runs the Paragon Wiki was upgraded from verstion 1.4.9 to version 1.5.6. (If interested in the technical details, please see the [http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=386609 MediaWiki release notes].)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When all was said and done, the upgrade went very quickly and smoothly. The wiki was down from 3:20 am EST until 3:23 am EST. For a pretty major upgrade, that's not bad at all. Still, if you notice any glitches or problems, please e-mail [mailto:tonyv@pcfreepress.com tonyv@pcfreepress.com] or post a message on our [http://pcfreepress.com/forums/ forums].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If you happened to try to access the wiki between 3:20 am EST and 3:23 am EST early Monday morning, I apologize for the inconvenience.

| − | ==== City of Villains Exploration Badges Complete ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Hey all, a rather intensive effort over the past couple of days to document and audit all of the City of Villains [[CoV_Exploration_Badges|Exploration Badge articles]] is complete. In addition to the normal wiki information fare, each article has got the badge description, a detailed explanation of how to get to the badge, and an in-game picture showing you ''exactly'' where the badge is. Also, each has been formatted according to a rational standard and categorized correctly.
