			== The Great Wikicars Migration ==
			Dear user, I am writing this note to inform you that over the course of the next few days Wikicars will be migrating to a new home on [http://www.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page Shoutwiki]. Since we have been left for dead by parent site [http://www.internetbrands.com/ Internet Brands], Wikicars will be merging with Shoutwiki [http://en.auto.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page Autopedia]. Rest assured we will do everything in our power to preserve all existing articles in our move including talk pages and edit history so your articles of interest will remain intact. All we humbly ask for is your patience and understanding. Thank you.

			If you have further questions, ask me on [[User Talk:Red_marquis\|my talk page]] or [[User talk:Silver Knight\|User:Silver Knight]].

			== Updating Wikicars ==

			MQuan, please help me petition the boffins at Internet Brands to upgrade the mediawiki software Wikicars is running on? We are still running on MediaWiki 1.6.5 when 1.12.0 is out already and includes lots of new toys including a feature I saw in Wikipedia where page editors need to type a confirmation code provided on the page before the edits will be accepted. That will help eliminate spambots and allow us to concentrate on other more important chores and be more productive for the site. Most of the time I now spend on Wikicars is me cleaning up the mess the vandals and spammers have done rather than updating the pages and improving its look and feel.

Red marquis: NEW INFOBOX SYSTEM

NEW INFOBOX SYSTEM

			== NEW INFOBOX SYSTEM ==

			I have recently discovered how to '''format our infobox''' in similar fashion to Wikipedia's '''Master Template System''' whereby a we will no longer have to replicate the infobox again and again for each individual page. What will happen instead is that from this point on there will be a set of codes similar to the ones below that will act as a "surrogate" and where you will be filling out the basic information. It will replicate the "master template" on thepage but with the individual information you've written filled out on it. What this allows for is that if and when we finally decide to change the design/update the infobox we will no longer have to manually alter each infobox from page to page.

			<nowiki>
			{{Infobox \| </nowiki> <br><nowiki>
			\|Image = place image here in 300 pixels</nowiki><br><nowiki>
			\|Marque = place marque here - not manufacturer</nowiki><br><nowiki>
			\|aka = Type aka here, not up there</nowiki><br>
			\|Production = produced from when to when+total units made (optional)</nowiki><br><nowiki>
			\|Class = denote market class</nowiki><br><nowiki>
			\|Body Style = how many doors+how many seats+what type of body</nowiki><br><nowiki>
			\|Length = length - type here</nowiki><br><nowiki>
			\|Width = Width - type here</nowiki><br><nowiki>
			\|Height = Height - type here</nowiki><br><nowiki>
			\|Wheelbase = wheelbase - type here</nowiki><br><nowiki>
			\|Weight = Weight - you get the point</nowiki><br><nowiki>
			\|Transmission = transmission + drive</nowiki><br><nowiki>
			\|Engine = engine</nowiki><br><nowiki>
			\|Power = N/A hp @ N/A rpm<br>N/A lb-ft of [[torque]] @ N/A rpm</nowiki><br><nowiki>
			\|Similar = similar (competition)</nowiki><br><nowiki>
			\|Designer = Designer (lead designer if it was a team effort)</nowiki><br><nowiki>
			}}

			==Spam Police==
			...Speaking of which, I would also like to officially announce the formation of the '''Spam Police program'''. Basically, a spam police is obligated to perform '''RC patrols everytime, he/she logs in'''. The point is a more organized way of dealing with these pests. There are two units to join into, Admin-Sysops, being that they hold more power, join the '''"Officer" Ranks''', while members obtain '''"Deputy" status''' and will only be obligated to report such breach. I am planning to change this situation, though, if and when I recieve "Bureaucrat" status by granting members the power to block IP addresses and seize and protect "spam hotspots". For further information and to sign up, go to [[Wikicars' Anti-Spam HQ#Spam Police\|Wikicars' Anti-Spam HQ]].

			==Bureaucrat Position==
			I would like to put forward '''my nomination for Bureaucrat Status'''. Besides being the most frequent contributor on this website, I am working on projects such as establishing an Anti-Spam bureau, and further renovation of our pages that I feel would require these Bureaucratic powers.

	Hi. Thanks for the explanation about removing my discussion page for auto enthusiasts. Honestly, though, I'm surprised you completely ''eradicated'' the content, rather than just move it somewhere appropriate (like to my user subpage, or something). Wikis are primarily about community, not content, so it seems odd that there wouldn't be some room someplace on this site for that kind of discussion. Is there a way you can suggest to allow me to tap into the people working with the information rather than the information itself? --[[User:Kmakice\|Kmakice]] 13:43, 5 June 2007 (UTC)		Hi.

			Just so you know, we are currently holding elections for which image will grace the Spyker Template in Garage Talk. Since you are a member, your vote would be most appreciated.
