Apparently in the next few weeks the wiki's domain will be moved to brickfilms.fandom.com, sounds pretty daft if you ask me! brickfilms.wikia.com will redirect to the new domain. Just thought I'd just highlight this to everyone.

Wikia are due to update the appearance of the top navigation and article header areas sometime during the week commencing June 12th.

I would say that overall the new headers are an improvement and look a lot more modern. However, I do not like how a wiki's name is now stated next to its logo. Also Wikia's announcement blog post for this states:

"Outside of the Theme Designer, we've decided that, in order to maintain a consistently modern look across FANDOM, we won't be allowing most forms of CSS/JS customisation of the header"

While I don't anticipate us needing any custom CSS in the new headers, I am concerned that this move is just one step closer to eventually completely banning custom CSS on Wikia.

Hey all, just an advance warning but Wikia are making some changes to the appearance of sidebar modules sometime next week and since we use custom CSS on them, they are quite likely to appear a bit broken.

I've asked and unfortunately there's currently no way to preview the wiki with the changes prior to their roll out so we'll just have to brace ourselves! I'll try my best to fix any issues as soon as possible. You can read more about this change on the Wikia Community Central forum post.

Also on a side note, Wikia eventually want to change the appearance of top headers. Personally I'd quite welcome this since I particularly despise the look of the current ones! http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Brandon_Rhea/Wiki_Modernization_Stage_Two:_Page_and_Article_Headers

I went ahead and created a YouTube channel for this wiki. The main reason for this is that this channel will be subscribed to all of the YouTube channels associated with wiki pages here with the aim of making it easier to keep filmographies up to date here.

I hope to eventually use YouTube's API to create a public listing of this channel's subscriptions that can be ticked off as they are added to the appropriate filmography here or deemed irelevent.

This account could also be used if any video content specifically related to this wiki is created in the future.

Penta, HC and Nathan: Could you guys give me your Google account usernames? This would allow me to make you "page managers" so you can have access to the YouTube account and see its subscriptions.

Wikia has announced that on May 19 some significant typography and breakpoint changes will be rolled out. Unfortunately they seem to result in significantly less viewing space on larger screens and also for a few things to appear slightly broken.

You can try out what these new changes will look like on any page by adding ?oasisbreakpoints=1&oasistypography=1 to the end of any page's URL.

I would welcome it if any bugs (or things looking not as nice...) are reported to me via this thread so come May 19 I can attempt to fix them. Bare in mind that some of the problems will be bugs all Wikia's are experiencing, while others will be down to the additional CSS this wiki utilizes. Naturally I can only fix the latter.

Currently known issues: (will update as necessary)

• Forum Activity sidebar module overflows
• Top navigation bar sticks out to the right
• Infobox fields using {{plainlist}} get cut off at the top of each line

Also...
If the changes to the 'Oasis' skin bug you too much I've recently been doing some major work to Wikia's alternative skin 'Monobook' to make it look pretty much like Wikipedia. You can try it out by changing the layout setting in your preferences. (Although I'm still trying to improve the appearance of a few things here too)

Hopefully we won't come across too many more issues.
