User blog:Karasuneth/Wiki redesign, notability updates, and more

Hello everyone! We haven't had an announcement for a while, or made too many changes around here for that matter. But now with extra downtime from school being over for the middle of the year along with other reasons, we've finally sorted out various pending changes to the wiki and are ready to announce them, along with other updates.

Wiki redesign
The wiki has been pending a new look for a while. We've had the same design for a bit too long. Yesterday we released a new design with colour adjustments, a new wordmark and icon design, a different background, and a new font.

This look is hoping to make the wiki up to date with the more modern look and feel of Roblox while still having the same atmosphere as it did previously. Do let us know what you think.

Notability policy additions
Roblox's UGC accessories program is growing, and it has become a major part of the catalog now, along with discussion. This was starting to urgently become an issue as the wiki had no proper policies for it, so through discussion we've come up with the following new additions to the policies:
 * For Catalog articles - Is a UGC accessory with at least 20,000 sales
 * For item series pages - Are of UGC accessories with a cumulative total of at least 60,000 sales
 * For Player articles - Is a UGC accessory creator with 2-3 notable accessory items

Additionally, we now have new notability criteria regarding sale events, which are as follows:
 * Is officially hosted by Roblox involving items uploaded by Roblox employees OR
 * Is participated in by 3+ UGC accessory creators involving UGC accessory items

As usual, pages regarding UGC items or their creators made before this change are grandfathered into the new policies and may remain. Please note that as the UGC program expands, that these sale items and item requirements may increase over time. Such changes will be adjusted and announced when they occur.

Warning: Currently, there are bugs with the marketplace API that display sale counts incorrectly for UGC items. For newer items, sale counts given by the API may have to be divided by 4 to get an accurate count. Or consider only making pages for items with 80k+ sales currently. We won't take action against any pages created incorrectly due to this bug for the most part.

Title procedures for item conflicts
Edit, July 5th: Due to the amount of title conflicts we're encountering making pages for UGC, we have now added formal title appending procedure to our Manual of Style here.

Decision policies
There have also been some minor changes to policies regarding decision and consensus. These mostly just cover clarifications that consensus is not majority vote, and that actual input with valid reasoning is required to have statement.

We have also noted officially that some previously staff level decisions now include the offer of input from members of the Wiki Editors program in our Discord server. This program also includes directed editing requests and easy reporting, along with having a private channel to directly talk to wiki staff and get fast responses. We want to make it clear that this program is not exclusive and can be joined by any editor that is active and autoconfirmed (not a new Fandom account). All it requires is for you to join our Discord server, verify, and submit a request to the form to join. If you meet the simple requirements, you will be accepted. The directions and form link are in the #welcome channel if you are interested in being more involved on the Roblox Wikia. We are hopeful and eager for new faces in the program soon :)

Staff username updates
Some of us have happened to change our usernames on Fandom recently. This is just a minor thing to let people know if they aren't already aware.
 * I have changed my username from Anzu-TLK to Karasuneth
 * 0Michael105YT changed his username to 0Michael105
