You can read about the Unified Community Platform, but this conversion is bound to cause turmoil and functional disruption. Any help trying to fix up the wiki is appreciated.
To get an idea of what we're in for, you can see the list of issues and what has been fixed over time at this user-compiled status page.
Unless someone can show an article where they add significant value that shouldn't be in the article itself, I find comments not worth the trouble of monitoring.
Persepolis Rising is here with lots of new information.

Is there something missing? Is there a more precise and accurate name/description?
Although James S.A. Corey / Daniel Abraham tweeted a link to hachette group books' website to announce the release of a couple of chapters, it is the overdrive site that offers us more!!
Four and a half chapters as well as the Prologue and the Table of Contents.
From this we learn the viewpoint characters but more surprisingly, we discover the over 30 year time leap!

The seventh book in the series, Persepolis Rising is here!
We're very excited about this. If you've been following the news you know there were some shocking revelations.
With all the new ships, new characters, new events, and new locations, there is a lot of information to keep track of. That's why we come to the wiki after all! Help the community add all those facts, details and bits of trivia to new articles!

I'll keep it short:
I had an idea for a restructuration of TV-Books sister articles. Instead of linking them through the {{tabs}} template, we could turn the related disambiguation page into the actual page documenting the two incarnations by summoning the two subpages within a tabber (see Jim Holden).
Of course, I'm going to need your opinion on this. So, what do you think? Should we stick to our current way of separation and linking, or should we use a tabber instead?
Hello, everyone! Not-so-recently, the new type of galleries was switched on. Now, because no complaints were made by anyone, the change endured. But now, after arguments against the new galleries were cast, I ask you to pick your preferred type of galleries through this poll:
Hi, everyone! Many of you here took part in the Season Two Favorites survey, which concluded roughly three months ago. Among many, only three characters and scenes reached the podium, while only one was declared the victor (for each section). The experiment was fun, and it will return next year after the conclusion of Season 3.
Now, how about a similar survey for the novels? Tell me here the best 50 (maximum) scenes and characters that appear between novels one (Leviathan Wakes) and six (Babylon's Ashes) that you think would deserve to compete against each other for the title of the best scene/character in the whole written series so far. Entries will be displayed below and will close when the number fifty is reached or when no more appropriate entries are possible.

Steven Strait in 2009
Shohreh Aghdashloo in 2008
Steven Strait starred in the two-season TV series Magic City, and has also starred in the 2012 sci-fi thriller After. Aghdashloo was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance in House of Sand and Fog (2003) and won a Primetime Emmy for the HBO miniseries House of Saddam (2008), both awarded for her work as supporting actress; in the sci-fi department she had a minor role in X-Men: The Last Stand.
All three cast members are slightly younger than their book counterparts – Strait (28) plays Holden (30), Aghdashloo (62) plays Avasarala (in her seventies) and Jane (45) plays Miller (49) – but not much.
More interesting is the fact that the cast for the 10 episode series so far includes characters from the two first books, Leviathan Wakes and Caliban's War, which suggests that we will not get a full season treatment for each book.
As this is the first casting to be announced, it allows us to assess how true to their book looks we can expect the cast members to be. The answer so far: Not terribly. Miller is, of course, a Belter; unsurprisingly, Jane is visibly missing the giant head and thin, elongated body. Maybe they'll add it in post-production. Apart from that detail, the Miller of the books is described as having a sad, basset hound face, although I can totally see Jane sporting his signature porkpie hat. The actor is also five years shy of Miller's upcoming 50th birthday – and, might I say, doesn't even look that old! He could've played Holden and I wouldn't wince.
On the other hand, Thomas Jane is a great and funny actor, and I'm sure he can put some weight behind Miller's dry, dreary humor. What do you think? And who do you want for the other roles? Check out our casting thread!

Hi, everyone!
I'll be short: there are two issues that keep bothering me.
One: The wiki background image. The current one is... yeah. Do you have any ideas for a good one? Or, better yet, could you create one?
Two: The front page. It seems... incomplete. I mean, aesthetically, I wouldn't give it a perfect 10, even though it is better than that of 99.99% other wikis. Do you have any ideas for possible improvements?
Follow-up: After that shadow add-on, it does look closer to reaching 10.
That's all.
Have the best of days,

See the idea I proposed on WoWWiki... Change WoWWiki's "Community name" to "KEEP NET NEUTRALITY!" vote.
A name change will only live for a few weeks. It is not permanent.
Here's a poll (please vote; here's a good article on Net Neutrality):
→ See this reply for what "Keep Net Neutrality! Here's How To Be Heard…" means.
I figure the change could go into effect sometime Saturday (July 15), if voting favors it by sometime Friday (July 14). The public comment period to the FCC ends August 17. Here's one way of putting teeth behind your words of support: Submit Letter

After seeing the article on Travel Time (maligned format) and, honestly, wanting to vomit, I figured pointing out the mathematics option in editing would be a good idea. I've since realized it's nicely available as a button in the classic editor, so the tags are certainly well known to everyone here.
So whenever we have any extensive usage of math – be it variables, numbers, or full equations and expressions –it should be rendered with LaTeX's math tags and not with code tags. However, there is a caveat for this wiki. Inside the math tags, one should include:
{\pagecolor{black}\color{white} ...... },
with the LaTeX code in place of the ellipses. This will set the PNG output to white text which will be transparent unless the pagecolor is set as well (the page color remains transparent even when set). For those not familiar with LaTeX , the opening and closing braces are creating an environment in which the colors will apply; probably not needed, but always a good practice.
The only problem is the size of the PNG created and embedded. I'm not sure how to fix this, but it doesn't appear to be an issue on Wikipedia or the Math Fandom Page . Having the math slightly large is a bit odd, but not nearly as much as an eye-sore as the plain-text code font; plus, other options are just amerturish, anyway.
Since there is already the math buttons, I don't see any need for a template considering the rare circumstance in which the wiki will require any actual math. However, if we get the size of the rendered math fixed, then the code will be complicated enough that a template will be a good idea, IMHO.
I thought about the restructuration of the TV character page template. Instead of the repetitive "In <Episode name>", we could use second level sub-headings. See Diogo Harari for the example.
If you all do agree, please commence transitioning all TV character pages to the new format.
Hi, everyone!
I have noticed one mistake in particular that keeps persisting: the bolding of the article's name even after the introductory phrase (i.e. The United Nations is...). I ask of you that you bold the name only at the beginning and never thereafter.
Another issue would be the frequent discrepancies between the novel series and its TV adaptation that often lead to two subsections being created to explain the events of the two series. I was thinking, why not use a tabber instead? Check the Arboghast's page, for example. A tabber works better, IMO. What about you? What do you all think?
Please vote in the poll above.
Have a nice day!
