On this page we will add information and news about Wiki 24 including any software upgrades, significant changes, community events and any shutdowns scheduled by Wikia.
New namespace created
- 3rd February 2009
Thanks to the work of Wikia Community Team member Uberfuzzy, our project now has a searchable, unique namespace for Quotes! Prior to his help, all the quotes were located in the Main namespace and were simply preceded by a "Quote:" prefix. Now the pages are in their own unique namespace, which can be isolated for specific searches using Special:Search (read: will not clutter Main namespace searches) and visible as a group in Special:AllPages. (Each quote article still retains its unique edit history, and the automated moves which made this possible are visible in the Latest intel by toggling the "Show Bots" option.)
Spotlighted Wikia!
- 17th January 2009
Wiki 24 is now featured as a Spotlight Wikia! For several weeks, our wiki will be listed among other Spotlighted project with a unique image link at the bottom of all Entertainment wikis in the Wikia network.
New SpecialPage (and a notice from Wikia)
- 22nd September 2008
Central Wikia has announced a new SpecialPage, Special:WikiaStats, which is "much more detailed than the in-built MediaWiki statistics page found at Special:Statistics." It contains a wide variety of data and new methods to keep the information accurate and up-to-date. It should be available to all registered users, so, enjoy!
Additionally, Wiki 24 contributors should know that, for about an hour starting at 09:00 UTC (2:00 AM PDT) on Tuesday morning, the wiki will be in "read-only" mode. Articles can be looked up, but no changes will be permissible at that time because the master database will be moved to another server to maximize performance and reliability.
The growing wiki: two great changes
- 16th July 2008
The wiki has experienced two great changes recently: first, the addition of SignorSimon as our latest administrator. Congratulations to SignorSimon! And, we now have a brand new facelift from Wikia! A special thanks to Wikia Helper Nathan for his invaluable assistance in integrating the new look while retaining Wiki 24 aesthetic essentials like the color scheme.

Wikia
- 20th April 2006
For all of you who have bookmarked Wiki 24, you may have found the bookmark is not working. This is because our parent comany has changed it's name to Wikia. You should change your bookmark to http://24.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page --24 Administration 15:40, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
Wikia Featured Wiki Nominee
- 31st March 2006
After all the work we've done here, I decided that we should get some credit for it outside of Wiki 24 so, I've nominated Wiki 24 for the Wikia Featured Wiki. It's much like our Article of the Month but with Wikis instead.
If you want to vote for Wiki 24 or any other Wiki, go to Wikia website (you'll find a link on the left hand side of the page somewhere) and then follow the links to the Featured Wiki section. --24 Administration 22:32, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
Google Top 5
- 15th March 2006
For the first time in our 6 months of activity, typing Wiki 24 in Google brings up Wiki 24 in the top 5. In the past we haven't even been on the first 10 pages so this is quite an achievment seeing as we've only been around since September!
New Searching
- 13th Febuary 2006
The people at Wikimedia have changed the way you can search and start a new page. See Help for more information.
Front Page
I'm trying a new format on the main page. Instead of that writing at the top (like in Memory Alpha) I'm gonna experiment with a Wikipedia style with a brief introduction and then a little bit to help people find their way around. Talk about it on the Situation Room if you have any thoughts on the matter.
Wiki 24ians
- 29th November 2005
For tose of you who contribute here, no matter how much or or how little, add your name to the list of Wiki 24ians. Your legacy on the Wiki will then be secure for as long as it is running! --24 Administration 17:50, 29 Nov 2005 (UTC)
New Categories
- 10th November 2005
I have started a new system for categories with insufficient information. Stubs will still be very short articles which have no real information. Insufficient Information Level 1 will be for articles of any length with little to no real information. Insufficient Information Level 2 will be for articles which only have a brief summary and need the actual content added. Insufficient Information Level 3 is for articles which are generally good but could use some more information in an area. (For instance, a character article which is missing out information on Day 4.)
I hope this new categories will help everyone. --24 Administration 15:56, 10 Nov 2005 (UTC)
100th Article
- 4th November 2005
Wiki 24 has gained it's 100th article! The article was about Michelle Dessler. This is 100 articles in only 2 months so image what we could do in a year! Let's try and get to 200, 300, 400 and a 1000! --24 Administration 21:37, 4 Nov 2005 (UTC)
New Look
- 28th October 2005
I've changed the look of the Wiki so that it looks darker but still a community. Hopefully, people will appriciate this but I can change it back anytime. --24 Administration 18:38, 28 Oct 2005 (UTC)
Create An Article Option
- 10th October 2005
I have added the ability for users to create an article by typing the the article name into the search bar and then clicking on the create an article with this title link. Hopefully this will make it easier for people to cretae articles. --24 Administration 18:38, 28 Oct 2005 (UTC)
