Forum:Total Drama Wiki Newsletter/September 2013

Welcome to this month's issue of the Total Drama Wiki Newsletter. This issue features information on a wiki activity, an advice column with three sub-headings, one comic, an editor's note, and a list of wiki reminders.

Activity information
TDIFan13

Wiki Wars is a blogged activity created by TDIFan13 that pits together two characters, episodes, items, or anything else Total Drama or wiki-related. It's a jaw-dropping, lip-chewing, nail-biting, teeth-grinding battle that needs your votes to stay heated. Every Sunday, a new blog with two conflicting images will be posted and it's up to you guys to vote in the comments. The following week, votes will be counted up and a winner will be determined. Make sure to check out and vote in this week's Wiki Wars blog.

Crappy Connection
"Dear Numbuhthreefan, What's up with the Internet Relay Chat and how come I can't access it? The website says I need to install some sort of weird applet, but I don't think I should since I don't want any viruses. Is it my connection?"

- Crappy Connection Dear Crappy Connection,
 * I think you might be mistaken, actually. Even though users tend to have issues with their internet connection and often disconnect from our Internet Relay Chat, that doesn't seem to be your problem. Try using our alternate site, instead, if you don't want to download the applet; for more information, visit this forum. Hope that helps.

Losing Edits
"Dear Numbuhthreefan, Last summer, I decided to temporarily leave the wiki in order to focus more on school. When I left, I had about two thousand edits... recently, I returned and noticed that my edit count had dropped to four hundred. Why did this happen? Do your edits decrease when you're inactive?"

- Losing Edits Dear Losing Edits,
 * No, not at all! First off, welcome back to the wiki. You might've noticed that we enabled a new feature on the site; instead of talk pages, every user on the wiki now has a Message Wall. To make way for this move, we deleted every single talk page on the wiki. You must've been quite the socialist if you lost that many edits. But don't worry... at the end of the day, edits don't really matter, and in my opinion, working hard to build up your edit count is the funnest part of the wiki.

Worried Writer
"Dear Numbuhthreefan, My favorite thing to do is write. I love creating fanfictions and later posting them on blogs for other users to read and comment. But lately, I've noticed that those blogs have been deleted, which is really annoying since I put a lot of effort into those stories. Is there any way to get them back, and why were they deleted in the first place?"

- Worried Writer Dear Worried Writer,
 * I'm really sorry to hear that your blogs have been deleted, and I regret to inform you that the reason they've been removed off the wiki is because we don't allow users to share camps or fanfictions on this site. We do this to prevent an influx of fanon blogs which may clog up wiki activity. But if you want your stories back, you're more than welcome to contact an administrator and ask them to temporarily restore the blog. Good luck.
