So now that most of the mod management has been done (Still waiting on the Content Moderators) and everything is set on there, we can set forth on the next step. Most of the users at this time has called these last present months the "Reconstruction Era" of our """""lore""""". For the most part, it hasn't really been Reconstruction in a sense, mostly due to all of the work we have been doing right now being mostly minimal and only getting the framework done and getting in the new set of moderators. But now, I am ready to do some Reconstruction. But a couple questions may arise, like for example:

"What are you going to do?"

My plan (keyword plan, things might change after this is posted or not happen at all) is pretty large, and I can mostly divide it into three sections. Three sections, that is, that are pretty large in itself.

I. The Second Clean-Up

I call this the second clean-up because we already did a massive one back when we first had mass people promoted back in August. But that was mostly the complained stuff: Categories, pages marked for deletion, etc. In this second clean-up, my plan is not only to tackle those again, since it'll be more minimized since last time, but this time tackle a large majority of untouched things. This mostly correlates with going back and getting rid of anything that violates the current, up-to-date Rules & Guidelines that we have missed before or were outdated by them (excluding all fights, of course, unless done so by request or obligatory cleaning) and just some dusting here and there to make sure it's all present and good now.

When I want to start an initiative to start this, I'm not very sure, possibly soon after when the candidates for Content Mods have been trained and promoted.

'''II. Physical Makeover'''

Seems pretty simple in itself. Warp had done a little bit of work on the whole layout design of the site for a bit, although not much. My attempt is basically to flesh everything out, make it look nicer, make things more organized, all that nice stuff. This can be tried pretty soon actually, I just need to learn some basic source and .css shenanigans. Once I do that, I can start attempting to get a nicer look, then to try organization, and then adding a refined touch among some extra things that might be added. This plan will include adding the new variation of the Hall of Records and possibly the addition of the Top Completed DBs Poll onto the front page since both of the original pages for those are pretty much dead, and the polls/winners of polls is one of the main attractions to our front page.

'''III. Internal Makeover'''

Among some physical changes, some internal changes as well. I don't plan to do too much in this area, but one thing I will try and find and implement until the day I die:

Multi-Chat PMs.

It will happen one of these days, I swear. I've seen it be possible, and I'm going to try my damn hardest to attempt to make it possible. God knows chat is dying to wish this thing be implemented.

And that's my plan as of right now. Some things might be changed, added, removed, but that's my basis for right now. I'm giving out the plan mostly to have you informed for some changes that might be happenening in the future, A, and B, to hype you up for said changes. I've given my gratitude about the wiki and the users too many times, so all I can say for now is just stay tuned for more info if I get a lightbulb to pop up.

And if you got your own ideas on Reconstruction/content, comment them. If they're big enough and supported enough, they might be sent down to the Wiki Management board for consideration. Who knows?
