It is coming! Dun dun dun. -- tierrie talk contr 17:44, October 27, 2014 (UTC)

Interesting I've always liked Morrigan as the sensitive woman who puts a barrier up around her self due to how she was raised--WardenMaster (talk) 20:05, October 27, 2014 (UTC)

As long as it has nothing to do with that awful fake pregnancy "meme" from a few days ago. Seriously, I had nightmares about Morrigan's laugh lines the first time I saw Sacred Ashes. RShepard227 (talk) 00:30, October 28, 2014 (UTC)

What are you guys on about?

They're talking about revamping the wiki. Not hard to search and find the blog ;P SenjiBen (talk) 03:03, October 28, 2014 (UTC)
Google says it was also some operation in Afghanistan. Wonder who they named it after. Diain (talk) 06:01, October 28, 2014 (UTC)
Diain they probably named it after the origin of the name, the Celtic Goddess of war and chooser of the slain.Shield-Hound (talk)
Has there been any discussion of a "Featured Article" section Tierrie? Also how about having concept art or screenshots from DA:O & DA2 for their icons on the landing page? Just a thought.

Portal:Component/FeaturedArticle exists. We took it off after Origins was released. Based on the analytics and feedback we found that there was very little interest in Featured Articles. The main reasons was because the articles were no updated often, and because the articles were of little relevance.
We realized that the browsing habits of a gamer is significantly different from those visiting Wikipedia. Because of this have more gaming oriented components such as forums, news, and twitter instead of longer ones like significant historical events or featured artifcles -- tierrie talk contr 07:16, October 29, 2014 (UTC)
Ah damn. On the one hand that makes sense. On the other, how can people not appreciate all our great articles?!

I wonder if that's the case only on Dragon Age Wiki, as I have seen at least two other gaming wikis (Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect) having featured articles. Then again I don't even know how the feature itself works (like why does it pick a certain article and things like that). --Margerard is a Dragon Age Wiki Editor 22:57, October 29, 2014 (UTC)
Feature Article is included by default on every wiki. Some wikis don't reevaluate their front page: whether or not certain features should be included or not. We did and the conclusion is stated above.
Functionally, Featured Article selects from a list of articles that needs to be summarized. Similar to how featured images and quotes. However, as articles, the blurbs requires an editor to summarize to fit in the idea of a featured article. As you might imagine, it can become a very tedious chore. -- tierrie talk contr 02:31, October 30, 2014 (UTC)
Ah I see now, thanks for clearing it up. --Margerard is a Dragon Age Wiki Editor 04:05, October 30, 2014 (UTC)

So... it's named "Project Morrigan" because change is coming to the wiki? Believe it! (talk) 15:54, October 28, 2014 (UTC)

And I was just about to ask Tierrie if I'm allowed to publish it here... I guess asking it would be moot now, wouldn't it? --Margerard is a Dragon Age Wiki Editor 23:59, October 28, 2014 (UTC)
Well, it was easily spotted on the Activity Feed, so I'm sure people have seen it by now :D --Kelcat Talk 00:09, October 29, 2014 (UTC)
Oh I know I know, it's just I'm really excited about this and wanted it to be a better surprise. (If I sounded annoyed or anything, that's just the lack of emoticons here that I could use and also being tired) --Margerard is a Dragon Age Wiki Editor 01:38, October 29, 2014 (UTC)
I can't hide anything from anyone around here. It might be or might not be the revamp. It might be. But it might also not be. -- tierrie talk contr 07:18, October 29, 2014 (UTC)

I won!!! XD... *Goes home and hides from admin rage*--DaveManiac3 20:32, October 28, 2014 (UTC)
