-Welcome to the first ever Wiki News!
+Welcome to the '''new''' Elder Scrolls Construction Set Wiki Main Page! This is our grand unveiling of a new organizational scheme, designed to make finding articles easier than ever.
-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!
+We are proud to introduce [[Portal:Contents/Portals|Portals]]! These are pages are designed to give access to all of the information on a given subject in one easy to understand page. These pages have their own featured articles, for content specific to that topic, lists of useful information, tutorials, troubleshooting tips, and useful tools to make modding easier.
-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.
+Portals also include a very important section called "Things You Can Do"! We are striving to get some more user-participation on the CS Wiki, and so we have tried to give some simple things that would improve the Wiki as a whole for each section. Also, in the same vein, we have a new page detailing some simple things you can do while browsing the Wiki generally that will help all of us. We have [[:Category: Article Tags|Article Tags]] that should be used to bring things to our attention, and a nifty [[Toolkit]], with it's very own link in the Navigation section, for keeping track of things you can use to improve articles.
-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.
