+ | ===Congratulations=== |
||
+ | *Congratulations to [[User:Pcwrcw|Pcwrcw]] for completing the last of the Extended Dramatis Personae pages. After three and a half years, the wiki has the most exhaustive list of Malazan characters anywhere. And just in time for the publication of ''[[The God is Not Willing]]'' to add dozens (or hundreds) of new characters next year. |
||
− | === |
+ | ===Images=== |
+ | *We now have over a thousand images on the Wiki. Although some of them are administrative ones, the vast majority are from our amazing Malazan artists. One of those artists, Dejan Delic, unveiled his 50th Malazan image in the 2017 Advent Calendar. |
||
− | *We are thrilled to tell you that there is now an [[w:c:it.malazan:Malazan_Wikia|Italian version]] of the Malazan Wiki! If you speak the language, why not take a look and see if you can support [[User:WitoP|WitoP]] and the Italian team with a few edits. |
||

+ | *The one month moratorium for adding ''[[Kellanved's Reach]]'' information to content pages is over. Feel free to add information from this book to the wiki. |

− | *Congratulations and a massive thank you to [[User:ArchieVist|ArchieVist]] for having contributed over 10000 Wiki edits. We are lucky to have his incredible editing skills on this Wiki. Not only quantity but the quality of his work puts him into a category all of his own! |
||
− | === |
+ | ===In other languages=== |
+ | *We currently have affiliated Malazan Wikis in German, Italian and Polish - some more active than others. Why not get involved if you speak the language. |
||
− | *Within the space of only 15 months, we have added another one thousand pages to this Wiki which now stands at 4000 articles in total. The German version has simultaneously reached its 1000s page. To celebrate, there is a new look to the homepage and we have created special pages with the current statistics. Take a look at [[Malazan Wiki:4000|4000]] and [http://de.malazan.wikia.com/wiki/1000 1000] and leave a message in the guestbook/Gästebuch :) |
