===2015 Club Penguin Wiki Awards===
After a brief discussion with fellow admin [[User:Hat Pop|Hat Pop]], we've decided to keep the formal process of running this year's CPW Awards. With our small community size, the ultimate decision was to keep only a handful of awards that would be the most meaningful. These include four community awards and two Club Penguin awards:
*Editor of the Year
*Leadership Award
*Most Improved Award
*Rookie of the Year
*Party of the Year (Club Penguin)
*New Item of the Year (Club Penguin)
From now until the end of the month, you can nominate users (up to three, as per past years) on [[Project:2015 Awards/Nominations|this page]]. Voting will take place starting in early December. --<span style='font-variant:small-caps; font-family:cambria'>[[User:LordMaster96|<span style='color:#0174DF'>'''LordMaster'''</span>]][[User talk:LordMaster96|<span style='color:#9A2EFE'>'''96'''</span>]]</span> 01:15, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

As school is around the corner, I will once again be unavailable to host this year's CPW Awards in December. Therefore, I will be looking for an experienced user to run the awards. Below are the requirements to be an award coordinator:

MediaWiki Upgrade

Hey everyone. I wanted to let all of you know that we recently completed a MediaWiki upgrade to version 1.25.2. Not much should appear different other than some bugs being fixed, as this was a security patch. In any case, let an Administrator know if you encounter a new bug.
