{{Main Page/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.
'''Portals'''<br />
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.
'''Help Pages'''<br />
Also, long over-due, the Wiki now hosts a full complement of [[Help:Contents|Help Pages]], designed to help you find information on the Wiki, ask questions, and contribute to the Wiki, complete with an all-new [[Help: Welcome to the Wiki|Welcome to the Wiki]], with a bunch of starter tips for using the Wiki. Of special note is the [[Help: Simple Things You Can Do To Improve the Wiki|list of simple things you can do to improve the Wiki]] - by taking just a few moments to improve the articles you're looking at, you can make huge improvements on the Wiki!
'''New Service Pages'''<br />
We have added two important pages to the Wiki - the [[Help:Administration Noticeboard|Administration Noticeboard]] for getting help from the Wiki system operators, and the [[:Category: Request an Article|Request an Article]] page, with directions for requesting new articles on the Wiki.
'''Wiki Improvements'''<br />
Speaking of improving the Wiki, we have a number of ways to make the Wiki better for yourself and for others! First of all, there is the [[Community Portal]] - your input on discussions is valuable!
Next up, there's [[:Category: Articles Nominated to be Featured|Nominated articles]] - these articles are being considered for [[Portal:Featured Content|Features]], and we need your input to learn what last polishing steps are needed.
There's also the new [[Help: Search Terms|Search Terms]] feature - by adding these to pages, the Search tool can be improved, making information easier to find. This is still very much an on-going process - your help could really make a difference here!
After that, there's the new [[Toolkit]] - the Toolkit is a handy list of links and references, to help you edit the Wiki. The Toolkit has been added to everyone's Navigation box.
Finally, we have [[Wiki User Style|Wiki User Styles]] - these bits of code can be used to customize the way you view the Wiki, from changing sizes to completely rearranging content. Check them out!
'''Clean-Up of Old Questions Category'''<br />
The Wiki has decided to remove the Questions category, in favor of such questions going to the Forums. As a result, the Wiki is in the process of going through the Questions on this site, extracting important or relevant information, and cleaning up that section of the site.
