||
| − | |||
| − | : I've seen it too many times in too short a time recently that people are miscoding internal article links. When you're linking to another article, wiki internal article link code should be used. The |
||
| − | |||
| − | : They are coded ''<nowiki>[[Article Title|linked like this]]</nowiki>'' (wikicode), |
||
| − | : and not ''<nowiki>[http://www.long-whole-url-of-wiki.com/wiki/Article_Title like this]</nowiki>'' (which should only be used for linking to off-wiki pages.) |
||
| − | |||
| − | : Double Brackets. Vertical line to make the change to text if needed. ''Not'' the entire URL in the browser window. Only use the off wiki link code for links that ''go off the Wiki.'' (Wikipedia refs are done using ''<nowiki>[[Wikipedia:Article name on Wikipedia|text goes here]]</nowiki>''.) |
||
| − | |||
| − | : There will be three day blocks if this is done by anyone. The [[{{SITENAME}}:Sandbox|Sandbox]] is there to see how codes are used before edits are done, and I just added info about coding link. Editor time is wasted fixing this repeatedly. Consider this the official warning. |

| − | ; December 28th, 2017 / Luciana Vega, Girl of the Year 2018 |
||
| − | |||
| − | : On [http://abcnews.go.com/Lifestyle/meet-american-girls-2018-girl-year-aspiring-astronaut/story?id=52003366 Good Morning America] today, [[Luciana Vega]] was officially announced as the 2018 [[Girls of the Year|Girl of the Year]]. Luciana Vega's collection focuses on STEM (Science/Technology/Engineering/Mathematics), including a large emphasis on space travel and exploration. |
||
| − | |||
| − | : The admins understand the excitement over the new Girl of the Year, and articles have already started to be rolled out; we will post about all that is available on January 1st. However, no articles should be attempted fully until release, and we require high quality descriptions and discussions. Secondly, Gabriela appears to continue to be available for some time into 2018, so please do not mark her or her collection as retired until it is clear she has been discontinued. |
||
| − | |||
| − | : Also some new items have released in the stores, but again we will be discussing these on the 1st when we have clean pictures. |

| − | ; November 20th, 2017 / Rumors, Leaks, and Hearsay - Don't ''DO'' It! |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:Meet Kit 1.jpg|250px|thumb|Don't publish hearsay: it's bad news!]] |
||
| − | : It's the time of year where rumors about new products, especially new Girls of the Year, start leaking. And it's that time where people might be tempted to post unconfirmed details on characters that might be coming out. So the Administration is taking this moment to reiterate the [[{{SITENAME}}:Rumors, Leaks, and Hearsay|policies against rumors, leaks, and hearsay]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | : American Girl is an active business with constant new items. There are regular releases, re-releases, new items, new characters, new books, and/or new details. This means that leaks happen often, especially when people obtain items early or off online auctions from secondhand sources. However, we here at the A*G Wiki has made it our policy to '''not''' allow any information on any topic from any non-legitimate sources. The only information we accept are from sources that can be verified. |
||
| − | |||
| − | : Images, names, and descriptions of characters and products found through searches across the internet--even if they are likely legitimate direct stock images--that are posted by anyone other than AG or press releases by AG ''are not verified.'' Until AG themselves release the images or names, they are not verified. We here at the A*G Wiki respect the [[American Girl|company]] enough not to show images or start articles about characters that they haven't openly released yet. |
||
| − | |||
| − | : Violate this rule even once and you'll have a six-month block the first time. We're not going to play nice. Be patient or we'll make you be patient. |
