added the TESCS section back, at Gstaff's request, moved stuff around and resized to make it fit - looks good, I think.

Welcome to the first ever Wiki News! | |||
Several updates have been made to the Wiki recently. First of all, notice the new [[Community Portal]], complete with its very own link in your Navigation toolbar! This is ''the'' place for discussions, thoughts, and comments on the Wiki - feel free to comment on any thing you'd like to see done! Or learn all about what we do here and help out! | |||
Secondly, and this is huge, the Search function has been changed to search Categories and User Pages by default. This 'is very important, because a very large amount of information is included in Category pages, which you previously could not find by Searching. If you had previously created an account, your preferences were '''''not''''' changed! You can set your own preferences in the [[Special: Preferences|Preferences]] page, under Search. | |||
Also, please note the creation of [[:Category: Article Tags|Article Tags]]. You can easily help out at the Wiki by learning what these tags are and how to use them, and marking any articles that you come across that fit in these categories! If there are other tags you would like to see, please say so in the [[Community Portal#Article Tags|appropriate section of the Community Portal]]. | |||
Finally, highlighting a policy change. While the rules themselves are not new, previously they had been unclear and unenforced. When submitting articles onto the Wiki, you are officially waiving any special rights you have to that text - it may be edited, moved, or deleted by others as necessary. You may, of course, maintain the article, and contributors are expected to discuss an article in its Talk page when multiple people are working on it. Therefore, you may not add a "byline" to the article, as this discourages others from improving the article. | |||
Articles which had been bylined before have been [[:Category: Bylined Articles|marked]], and those authors will be contacted regarding their wishes for the articles. | |||
Please go to the [[Community Portal]] for the latest news and discussions here at the Wiki. | |||

The Elder Scrolls Construction Set Wiki is a very large resource - if this is your first time using it, it can be quite daunting! Even if you have been using the Wiki for months, there's almost certainly things here that you didn't even know about. | The Elder Scrolls Construction Set Wiki is a very large resource - if this is your first time using it, it can be quite daunting!

''The Elder Scrolls Construction Set'' allows you to edit and create any data for use with [http://www.elderscrolls.com/ The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion]. Any data that goes into the game goes in through the Construction Set and is stored in [[:Category:Data Files|data files]] (labeled either ESM or ESP files) that are read by the game. The Construction Set allows you to create your own areas (towns, dungeons, islands, etc.) and populate them with characters, creatures, and stories. You can add new [[races]], [[classes]], [[Spell|spells]], [[:Category:Quests|quests]], [[Potion|potions]], [[Enchantment|magic items]], and anything else your mind can dream up. | |||
'''[[The Elder Scrolls Construction Set|Download the Elder Scrolls Construction Set here.]]''' | |||
You can also edit the data that comes with Oblivion. Don't like how fast everyone moves? Change the movement settings. Do you want Nords to start with better abilities? Want to rebalance spell costs? It's all here. | |||
The most powerful feature of the Construction Set is the ability to create new data and stories, which are stored as [[:Category:Data Files|plugin files]]. You can place your plugin on the Internet and have others play the quests and areas you have created. And since they are plugins, they add directly into someone's existing game without damaging the data already there. | |||
