All dragon articles on the wiki have received a larger overhaul to them (creatures and Holiday dragons will follow in the coming week!). So... what's new?


 * New infoboxes! Please be sure to give warm thank yous to Taliseth for coding these lovely new infoboxes. They now show male & female sprites were available, spriters, egg descriptions via hover-over and also include elemental affinity information from the encylopedia. Speaking of which...
 * New encyclopedia templates! These templates follow after the egg sequence one, and will be used to hold all the information found on the site's encyclopedia.
 * You can now browse dragons by their elemental affinity! Visit Category:Elemental Affinity, pick an Element, and see all the dragons that correspond to it!
 * You can also browse for dragons that have or lack an encyclopedia entry! Visit Category:Dragon Encyclopedia and pick a category in its list!
 * New notice box template! This one has started appearing around the site already, but will be used to highlight important information about certain dragons, such as what time they hatch into different forms or what kinds of breed combinations are needed for a particular hybrid.
 * All dragon articles have now been brought up to scratch and given a consistent style across the site.
 * Sprites no longer in use are now hidden by default in a click to hide/show box, so certain sprite tables no longer take up half a page!
 * New quote template that allows for citations, and the introduction of reference lists to better cite where information comes from.
 * And a few other technical background fixes.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Since this update, there are a lot of dragons now missing encyclopedia information that is unlocked from the site itself. We need users to help fill in this information!
 * Dragons that are missing entries can be found here.
 * Dragons that have completed entries can be found here (to provide an example for how it should be formatted).
 * Dragons that are lacking an entry on site can be monitored here for when they do get an entry.
 * Dragons that are lacking an elemental affinity on site can be monitored here for when they do get an entry.
 * Be on the lookout for any minor errors I may have made along the way :)

Coming Soon:


 * New dragon articles from the recent event.
 * Sprite updates from the recent event.
 * Creature and Holiday dragon article overhauls.
