A copy of Saints Row: Money Shot has surfaced, and a high resolution video has been posted to youtube. The video is included below.
We've added available information about the game to the Saints Row: Money Shot article, but there is still much we are missing.
If you have a hacked XBox 360 which can play the leaked game, we need your help! We already have the names of the missions and bullets, but here's what we still need:
- A full list of mission objectives (A screenshot or video will do)
- A full list …

We now have Portal pages for each major game in the series, containing links to every article related to each game.
- Portal:Saints Row
- Portal:Saints Row 2
- Portal:Saints Row: The Third
- Portal:Saints Row IV
We've had a well-designed category system for some time, but the only problem is that Category:Games only links to the "in Saints Row X" pages, so you can't get to the Fine Aim article starting from Category:Saints Row 2. The new Portal pages solve that problem, so it's easy to see which articles rela…

On the 6th of April, 2013, Steve Jaros, the "Writing Lead" for Saints Row: The Third, confirmed via twitter than "Saving shaundi" is the canonical ending of Saints Row: The Third.
Link to his twitter post: https://twitter.com/SteveJaros/status/320517632040243200
Therefore, at the end of Saints Row: The Third, the Magarac Island statue is still standing, the Daedalus attack never happened, Steelport is not a city-state, Shaundi, Viola, Burt Reynolds, Cyrus Temple and Killbane are alive, while Kia is …

As you can see, or will see as soon as your browser cache updates, I've updated the site style with a little more pizzazz.
I'd like some general feedback, do you like it, was it better the old way, have I completely wasted my time, did you even notice the difference?
If something doesn't look right, please let me know. Here, in the comments section of this blog post.

Since the old User Group pages are confusing, I've decided to overhaul them again to make them much more useful, and integrated with the new user infobox.
In case you haven't noticed, everyone now has a shiny new blank user infobox on your user page, feel free to fill it out at your leisure. When you fill it out, you will automatically be added to the Project Task Forces relevant to your indicated interests.

Since more information about Saints Row IV is becoming available, now seems like a great time to remind everyone about the Saints Row Wiki's policies regarding information about upcoming games, spoilers, and speculation.
This is a follow up to User_blog:452/Upcoming_games

- 2 Speculation
- 3 Sources
- 3.1 Official sources

Saying "No Spoilers" on a site which claims to be "The most comprehensive Saints Row information archive" would be ridiculous.
"Spoilers alerts" have no place here. This wi…

Let's vote on changing the unregistered user label: "A Wikia contributor"
Anyone can edit the Saints Row Wiki, including random passers-by without an account.
While most people make an account if they're going to be regular contributors, there have been a few long-term unregistered users who have made meaningful contributions - Although it's much harder to "recognise" a user by their IP address alone.
Some people don't realise that "A Wikia contributor" is the default name shown for any unregister…

Although all Saints Row DLC have recently been removed from the Xbox Marketplace, THQ have finally done something right by announcing that they will be releasing all DLC for Saints Row: The Third on disc.
I salute Kevin Kraff for giving fans what they have requested. Hopefully the DLC for Saints Row and Saints Row 2 will also be released on disc. The Saints Row double pack was a missed opportunity to do exactly that.

Do you find this wiki useful? It didn't get that way by accident.
This wiki is made by fans, for fans. We need your help to make it even better.This wiki is the most in-depth guide to the Saints Row series, but there's still a lot left to do.
Our goal is to be as comprehensive as possible, and we always need more contributors.
It is impossible to "finish" a wiki, the best we can do is do what we know needs to be done.

The player character of the Saints Row series does not have a name, or a consistent title.
What title do you think should be used for the article about the main character? Please post any reasons for any particular title.The article here on the player character was created as "The Silent Protagonist", before being renamed to "The Protagonist" when Saints Row 2 was released.
The problem with this is that the game never refers to the player as "The Protagonist", which makes it an odd choice for an a…

This means that when someone leaves you a message on your talk page, you should reply to their message directly on your talk page.

We are always looking for new Admins. This is a general outline of what we look for.
In essence, if you make life easier for existing Admins, you get to be one.
Adminship is a responsibility. There are a number of areas in which administrators are expected to be active, these are listed on the Saints_Row_Wiki:Admins page.
Adminship is not a reward and it is not a honorary title, administrators must remain active, and regularly perform admin-related tasks.There is no "application process" for becom…

Last night, 's community manager, V-Singular, did a live Q&A video where he answered a few questions while showing off the Initiation Station. While most of the questions he answered are already known, there were some small tid-bits of info to scrape from the livestream. Sitting there with the video on one side, and a WordPad document on the other, I did just that.
Here's some answers to the more interesting questions I picked up on:

Since the Saints Row: The Third Wishlist has been so popular, I have made a wishlist page for this wiki: Saints Row Wiki:To-do list

I have reorganised all the categories.
The best way to describe what I did is to simply show you:
- Browse by Gameplay
- Browse by Game
Most categories are in both trees, this makes it easy to find information about a certain game, or to browse the different types of gameplay. Some things that are not specific to any game are not included in the Games tree.

Yesterday my fellow admin AndyP96 came up with the idea to create a contest for best and most original playable character that the community could create.

In a quote from THQ's Danny Bilson, he states that:
"We don't compete with GTA. We're differentiating even further with GTA with this one. The new Saint's Row will be less urban - it's definitely not about 'gangsta' anymore at all. And it's more fun and almost sillier and wackier and weirder than the other one.
I love GTA - especially the last one, which knocked my socks off. That's almost like a Martin Scorsese cartoon, right? We are more like the Mad Magazine version of that or something. It's …

- Think page titles are for weenies, or an elaborate hoax by unicorns to undermine the color purple? Close, but not exactly...it turns out it's really important for Google. Make sure your page title follows this format: the topic of the wiki + Wiki + 3 search friendly keywords. For example, if your Pookie wiki is called Pookapedia, and that's all that is in the page title, then anyone searching for Pookie won't find you. Your pagetitle should say something like "Pookie Wiki - Pookapedia- Pookie qu…
