Change Highlights Edit
- Search bar is now higher so always on screen and has drop down suggestions.
- Many new options available on Special Pages.
- Special:MultiCategorySearch - Search for items that belong to multiple categories (and don't belong to others). For example find weapons that are Bonded and have Biting Strike.
- User Edit Count - Returns a breakdown of a user's edits. See How To Use Edit Count for in-line use.
New Help Pages Edit
Images Edit
- While Image: will still work, start using File: instead. In image galleries it is the same, either File: or Image: will work.
- Images no longer automatically redirect when #Redirect[[]] is placed on the image's page. Therefore it is no longer necessary to put it there (no point anymore). To use an image as a redirect, add
|link=Page Nameas a parameter. Note that for icons this will be automatically included in templates that use icons, you will only need to do this if you are directly specifying an image. The {{Icon}} template will be updated and can also be used for this. On pages that are terminal (for the icon for a Pyreal mote, Pyreal Mote is the terminal page) icons should not redirect, but should go to their image file page (File:Pyreal Mote Icon.png.
Unexpected Behavior Edit

- Update: Markup issue isolated to that page, not indicative of a larger problem.
- Some search items, for example "Axe" display no results in search.
- Update: The search table has been refreshed and should work for all terms again.
- Broken pages: Drudge Scrying Orb
- Update: There are problems with the revision table between about Nov 7th, 2008 and Dec 14th, 2008 and any pages that were last updated during that period won't display.

- Update: The table has been successfully repaired, if you come across a broken page, click History, click on the most recent (top most) version, click edit and save. (Before the repair any versions in the affected date range would come up empty).
