If you're looking to help the wiki out with worths, please join our Discord and check the applications there. As always, we're looking for those who know big pet worths and small pet worths, and that's an opportunity to help out.

I'd also like to take the opportunity to remind you all to just be mindful of where you're putting your posts. We've had to issue more Wrong Category Reminders and Warnings than in the past, so just take the time to be mindful :)

That's all! (My wikiversary was two months ago and I forgot to announce it, but thank y'all for four wonderful years.)

Hey all!

To improve moderation, we have brought back the Custodian position with myself (Discussions), Trinity (Content), and Chrys (Discord) moving to this role. Similar to a head moderator position, Custodians initiate and take leadership in their respective moderator categories, unlike the previous classification of custodian as people who would handle content, wiki forums, and discord, please check their roles to see which area a custodian specializes in.

And, also – Lillytiger33 is no longer administrator, and is stepping away from the Animal Jam community. Please respect her wishes, and do not DM her for any Animal Jam or ajiww related concerns. If you had current DMs with her regarding ajiww, please open a ticket so moderators can continue the discussion. We are grateful for the times she spent on the staff team and wish her the best in personal endeavors.

That’s all!

Hello everyone!

Earlier today, Fandom released a minor design update to the VisualEditor, both the Visual Mode and the Source Mode (aka 2017 editor), to help simplify it and make it more intuitive. I recommend reading this blog for detailed information, but here are the short details.

• Renamed some of the tools (e.g. "paragraph" is now "normal text")

• Shuffled some icons around (e.g. the back and forward arrow buttons are now located on the far left rather than the middle)

• Hid some less-essential tools from view to make the initial editor view less overwhelming in all its glory (the tools are still accessible in dropdown menus)

• For the 2017 source mode: we removed the options available from the menu icon (those three stacked horizontal bars) -- If you want those back, you can customize your toolbar to access them from there)

• For the 2017 source mode: we used the menu icon to replace the gear icon

The blog has some helpful pictures as well. Let me know if you have any comments, concerns, or constructive feedback! Happy editing! :D

Hi guys! Wanted to quickly inform you about notifications being wonky again. They're apparently not ready for the new year either.

Yesterday, older notifications were missing and users were unable to click on them. Fortunately, new notifications are now going through. The bell icon is showing the wrong count until user gets a new notifications. Users still have no access to notifications that happened during the incident plus older notifications until a complete fix (which is being worked on). "Mark all as read" is still be wonky as well.

Thank you again for your patience as we look into this issue. With that being said, since I cannot see older messages from my holiday break, I'm afraid I am missing some so feel free to ping me again if I have not responded to your message! I will also be going through my message walls again to see if I missed any pokes there.

As always, feel free to reach out on Discord (vector_sigma) if needed since I'm permanently online :) Hope you guys had a great holiday season!

Hi guys! Just wanted to give you all a quick update.

As some of you may have learned, notifications were broken from approximately 5 pm EST to 5 am earlier today. Web-notifications weren't be sent out properly, and then they weren't being removed afterwards. I'm happy to say that the issue is now resolved ^^ Thank you for your patience.

If any of you pinged me last night, feel free to poke me again! I'll be going through my message walls and checking manually. I was a bit busy extinguishing fires in Community Central last night (and it's finals week for me, rip).

As always, feel free to reach out on Discord (vector_sigma) if needed since I'm permanently online :)

Hi guys! Got another short update for you guys.

The Thanks extension is now available for all wikis after several months of testing. You may have seen this on other wikis, but this will allow users to "thank" individual edits by other users by clicking the (thank) button next to each individual edit. Users will receive a notification that you thanked their edit. It's basically a quick way to provide encouragement for edits.

You can disable these notifications in your preferences. Admins can enable/disable the extension on the Admin Dashboard, just like message walls and blogs. You can view all the logs for Thanks under Special:Log/thanks.

I recommend checking out the help page and blog if you want to learn more ^^

Hi guys!

Just wanted to quickly share that the reported notifications feature is now live on all wikis! It is currently being rolled out so it may take a few hours for it to appear for everyone, but it is live!

What is this? Once enabled, every administrator and thread moderator will receive notifications if there are any reported discussion posts, message walls, or article comments. This is on a per-wiki basis, so you might have to toggle this if you're a mod on numerous wikis. It will only be one notification per wiki, even if there are multiple reports.

To enable/disable it, please go to your Preferences -> Notifications -> Web notifications for moderators.

I recommend checking out this blog post for additional information.

If you have any questions or bug reports, let me know! :D

On behalf of the staff team I would like to announce that Aggie (since rebranded to Magma) links are allowed on the wiki again, so go draw to your hearts content with your wiki members :)

For those who don't know what Aggie/Magma is, Aggie/Magma is a collaborative, live drawing board where, when given a link, people can draw together in real time.

And for the newer wiki members, Aggie was previously banned from the wiki for being inappropriate and being used as a platform to say things that were generally harmful. So be safe and have fun!

We'd like to welcome @Tinkere as the wiki's newest discussions moderator! Be sure to congratulate her if you see her around 🥳

In other words, be sure to join our friendly 13+ discord server discord.gg/animaljam to advertise/find trades & shops, enter giveaways, share art, and talk with others!

Have a nice day everyone 💖

I'm very happy to announce @Tinkere is a new Trial Discussions Mod! 🎉 🥳 🎊🎉 🥳 🎊🎉 🥳 🎊

In other news, AJIWW now has a TikTok account!

We *cough* haven't posted anything yet, but follow us if you would like and watch out for when we do start posting.

And congrats to Lauren @Aaslan for being promoted to Discord Moderator! (If you don't know her, she's awesome and I hope some of you get to know her soon.)

Staff applications are still open! Check this post for more info.

Hello everyone!

I'm sure most of you have noticed the little site notice appearing on the wiki about the MediaWiki 1.39 update. I just wanted to give a little bit more information about it.

What's being updated? Mostly coding underneath the hood. There will be no major design changes. Consider it like replacing the battery of a car - the car will still be the same outwardly, but it just needs some updates underneath.

All Fandom wikis will be updating to MediaWiki 1.39 in the coming month. I don't have an exact timeline at this moment, but expect it to happen in mid-March or April. During the migration to 1.39, the wikis will be set in read-only mode. It shouldn't take more than 30 minutes (major wikis could need more hours). One week before migration, a banner will appear on communities to let you know the migration is scheduled. For one week after the migration, a similar banner to let users know the community is now on the new version.

Most importantly, if you experience any bugs after the move, please either report them to the admins (who will then forward them to me) or directly to me either on my message wall or Discord. We've done our best to squash and take note of any bugs in our testing phase, but any additional pokes would be greatly appreciated!

Please check out the help page on Community Central for a changelog and further information. ^^

Hey, all! It’s Gummy.

Are you looking to become a staff member? You’re in luck!

I want to let you all know that we are in need of mods, and staff applications are open for the wiki. We are looking for both content and discussion mods.

How can you apply?

Fill out an application as detailed on the Staff Requirements page, and submit it on a staff’s wall. You can submit to my wall, or the wall of any staff member.

What does each mod do?

Discussion mods moderate the wiki and its users, giving out warnings when appropriate, deleting comments and posts if needed, etc.

Content mods are constantly moderating the worths of items and keeping up the state of pages on the wiki.

It’d be great to see some of you all submit applications!
