New stuff on the wiki as of 20:17, July 11, 2011 (UTC) Last week, we had a bit of a wobble when opening up the page for The New World to general editing. The fact that Torchwood: Miracle Day episodes are originating late Friday night in the US had some unexpected results for the admin staff. It's just not a great time for most of us to be here to open pages up. Remember, the global premiere of an episode of Torchwood now ends at 11pm Eastern on Fridays. That's 3am London time/1pm Sydney time Saturday. As a result, some editors were left frustrated on July 9 waiting around for the page to be opened, to be helped only by the fact that not all our admin are in those three locations. (See Talk:The New World)

From here on out we're going to do things differently. The remaining episodes will now be opened for editing automatically by the system at 2259 Friday EST/0259 Saturday UTC/0059 Saturday NSW). If you experience any problems over the rest of this series, please send a message to CzechOut, cause it's his fault if it doesn't work.    We're looking for your help!  We need a new background image to go along with the current series of Torchwood.  See Help:Background images and then submit your artwork at Tardis:Background image submissions. Please note that Miracle Day is an in-universe event, but Torchwood: Miracle Day is the out-of-universe name of the current series. of Torchwood. There are a variety of little design changes that Wikia have made which we're trying to fix.  Amongst the things to be fixed lately were: sectional editing buttons being forced back to the right; the elimination of the double graphic on external links, specifying borders around thumbnail images to prevent random, weird white space around images.

If you see any other little oddities, please post them in forum:panopticon. An error was fixed at The Howling which was preventing template:forumheader from being automatically added to the top of new topics. If you've wondered what's happened to a topic you've started there, please read the message at Howling:Has your thread gone missing recently?. Review the archive of recent changes to the wiki here.
