Hello,
There's a large amount (over 750) of unused files on the wiki right now. I'm planning on removing any that remain unused within the next week. If there's any that you wish to include in an article, please do so before then or they'll need to be uploaded again.
Thank you.
No, the cases never expire.
I've gone ahead and indefinitely protected Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, as it's one of our most visited articles. If there's any other article that would benefit from being protected, please do post it here.
The main page is the most crawled and indexed page of a wiki, so by cross linking from the main page to categories, we shorten the distance to most of the other content on the wiki, and allow the crawlers to easily find it. The idea is to allow search engines to effectively crawl every part of the wiki, and to maximize how often they do so.
It wasn't really intended to be a way for people to explore the wiki, as a large majority of people who use the wiki do so by searching for specific terms on a search engine anyways. That being said, I'm indifferent towards it, and if other people want it changed, it can be. We definitely shouldn't link to any templates though, as I don't see how that would benefit anybody more than categories, if anything, it'd only cause more confusion. Categories are, at the least, simple to understand and I doubt anybody is confused as to what they are, which would certainly be the case with templates.
I'm quite looking forward to it!

You only receive a notification if you're following the thread (top right of the original post) or if it's highlighted by an administrator, though that will only notify you once.
Hello,
The Counter-Strike Wiki now has a forum that can be used to get the latest wiki news, discuss the wiki, suggest things, get help, and more! It's intended to be a safe and fun way for contributors to discuss things, help the wiki, and generally relax.
Talk pages are a good way of communicating with one person, but they don't have as much freedom, and lack beneficial features that the forum has. We hope the forum will be used by contributors to communicate more freely with fellow contributors in an open, but controlled, environment.
This thread will be used to test one of the features of the forum -- a highlight system, that allows administrators to notify all logged in users of a thread. We will be using it for news and announcements, as well as any important discussions in the future. There's also a kudos system that allows you to "like" or support a post, so give it a try, and show that you care!
Before using the forum, please read the board guidelines/forum policies/frequently asked questions page, which can be accessed by clicking the button at the top right of the forum index (linked above).
Contributors, community, and communication are key to a wiki's success, and the forum should vastly help with all three of these things. Start posting, voice your opinions, be heard, and help make the Counter-Strike Wiki as good as we all know it can be!
Thank you.
