Like the forums, the wiki will not change much. We will update the software to the latest version and possibly update the theme to match the rest of the platforms. Certain aspects or feature of the wiki will change, however. For example, the CSS extension which allows for the inclusion of external CSS via a special wiki page will be removed. The main use of this feature has been on third-party guides hosted on our wiki such as Skyrim Redesigned and Fear & Loathing. The elimination of this extension is to keep the theme of the wiki consistent. Inline CSS will still work for users who feel the need to changes elements on their user pages and templates can be set up to replace some lost features. Other systematic processes will also be eliminated to bring the wiki into check, but this is mainly back-end things that users never see or get to play with. The last thing which has already started taking place is the removal of images hosted on the wiki which are better hosted elsewhere or are not being used at all. Users wanting to post images to the wiki are encouraged to use a third-party hosts such as [https://postimage.io/ Postimage] for there personal use. Images meant for guides and community knowledge pages are okay and should be uploaded to the wiki so they can be retained over time. | Like the forums, the wiki will not change much.

=== Timeline === | === Redesign Project Timeline === | ||
To wrap things up, I know everyone will be asking when this will all take place. Currently, there isn't a hard timeline in place. We're hoping to complete the server move by the end of this month or the first half of March. Our goal would be to have the redesign fully built and tested within 3 to 6 months at the latest. However, life happens and there is always the possibility of complications arising during the development. We will keep everyone informed of the happenings via the forums and/or these State of STEP articles. | To wrap things up, I know everyone will be asking when this will all take place.
