Animal Jam Art Wiki

Hi everyone, AirCommander here. I've been inactive for quite a while, which isn't ideal for a bureaucrat, I know, but I'm intending to be active here once again. I'm aware that both the wiki and AJ aren't as popular as they used to be, with activity not being as great as it used to be, but I'd still like to be there for our wiki regardless. I'd like to go over a few things within this announcement.

Cleanup[]

I am going round each page of the wiki and giving it a clean up, if it needs it. It's been really cool to see how you've all used the template in your own way, and it's likely that the template itself that you've made won't be touched. However, I'll be changing wording and stuff like that. I'll also be deleting some pages that have little to no information on them. You can re-create your page within 4 weeks of the original deletion. Here are a few reminders of what should be on your page.

  • If you've made a page, please put the 'aspiring artist' category as opposed to 'artist', and a member of staff will update your category at a later date. From what I've seen, I've actually seen no one do this during my inactivity, so well done! It's just a gentle reminder.
  • Please don't use your pages as social pages. The discussion posts are there for a reason. Also please don't get people to sign your page, you're more than welcome to get people to sign your userpage though! You may recieve a reminder if you do this, and a warning if you continously do it and so on.
  • I will be hopefully creating a permanent theme on the wiki! I'd love to do seasonal ones, but I'm not sure I'd be able to keep up with it tbh. I'll do a mixture of realism art and cartoon-like art, so keep an eye out for that. The featured art will also be updated on the front of the wiki too! I'll do it shortly after I announce this blog.
  • Please keep the categories that end in 'user' exclusive to your userpages only, as these are more categories for your userpage. However, if you'd like to see them turned into a category, let me know on my message wall and we'll see if it's good enough to be a category. This works with any suggestion to help the wiki by the way, just inform us and we'll see if it goes through!

Reminders[]

These are a few reminders about the wiki and stuff. It doesn't hurt to be reminded about some things.

  • Please remember to read our rules! I'm sure most people do, but it doesn't hurt to be reminded.
  • Remember to follow COPPA's rules! You must be 13 years of age or older to use this wiki. You will be banned until you turn 13 if you are. This is COPPA's rules, not ours. You can read more about it online.
  • Please don't recreate the pages of Hyenine1, Chocolate4froggy and/or their spares. It causes some unnecessary drama on the wiki, and caused a rift in the AJ art community as a whole. You will recieve a reminder if you recreate their pages, then a warning and then so on. Also please try to refrain from mentioning them on the main wiki itself, as again, it can bring unnecessary drama. Your comment may be deleted on a page if you do this.

Apologies if this announcement post was a little underwhelming. This is my first one in a while, but I'm sure there might be more announcement posts in the future. I just wanted to remind the newer users of the rules, since quite a few people have joined since I left. The wiki has been controlled really well, thank you all for following the rules! I've glanced over a few new art pages and they all look great! I'm excited to see what artwork you all make in the future.

Thanks,

AirCommander Falco.
