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.
I've been testing it over the past few weeks and haven't run into any issues personally, but if you're finding something difficult …

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.

Our old User Group page is Saints Row Wiki:User Groups, and there is some historical dis…

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.

• 1 Spoilers
• 2 Speculation
• 3 Sources
  • 3.1 Official sources
• 4 Filenames

Saying "No Spoilers" on a site which claims to be "The most comprehensive Saints Row information archive" would be ridiculous.

The only policy we have regarding spoilers is that the information only be posted in the relevant…

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.

The following text is from the Press Release

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…

We are always looking for new Admins. This is a general outline of what we look for.

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.

Please take this poll, it will decide whether small articles subjects with very little available information should have a dedicated article, or a section on a larger page.

The current notability policy on this wiki is that a subject must be able to be linked from multiple pages to warrant having a dedicated article, and that the information in those articles is merged with larger articles.
This policy has been applied to pages such as the Stilwater Seal, Mr Wong's dog Sadie, various Stilwater Bu…

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.

I have reorganised all the categories.

The best way to describe what I did is to simply show you:

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…
