== Wiki Updates, August 7, 2007 ==

* [[Community Portal]] link added to Navigation toolbar
* Search function now includes Category and User namespaces by default
** My Preferences -> Search can be used to toggle which namespaces to search*
* IE7 compatibility is being worked on

Many thanks to Gstaff and TS7 (and a third Bethesda employee whose username I do not know) for implementing these for us.

<nowiki>*</nowiki> I had to do this for myself... it may be that our user preferences are set to the old default.

:New toys, awesome! I also had to change the preferences, it's probably not changing already saved settings. --[[User:Qazaaq|Qazaaq]] 17:45, 7 August 2007 (EDT)

In case anyone missed it, I updated the [[Main Page]] with these updates. I've also shuffled things around a bit and such. Commentary on that would be nice. By the way, the News section is a template which is '''not''' locked - you can find that [[:Template: Wiki News|here]].<br />

:I saw that, looks great, but with that welcome at full width I always think someone applied one of your templates to the main page. Makes me wonder what's wrong for a split second, before I remember it's supposed to be like this. A little annoying but I'll probably get used to it.
:Anyway, I like the news section you made, it's a good way to inform people that don't visit the community portal page. Maybe it's a good idea to put a "Go to the [[Community Portal]] for the latest news and discussion!" line at the bottom. Although I doubt you'll get ever anyone but a few regular authors and editors at this page.

::I had to make the welcome full width, the News would have been off the bottom of the screen otherwise, and I doubt people would see it if they had to scroll for it. Plus, the big change will make them look and try to figure out what's going on.

::Anyway, I like the idea about the Check out the Community Portal thing at the bottom, I'm going to include that.
