−	* '''12-1-06''' - Just in case you guys prefer Google Video to YouTube I've added a Google Video extension as well. Again, it's pretty simple, just insert something like <nowiki><googlevideo>8119893978710705002</googlevideo></nowiki> where that long number is the ID found in the Google Video URL.	+	* '''01-12-06''' - Just in case you guys prefer Google Video to YouTube I've added a Google Video extension as well.

−	* '''~~11-~~29-06''' - I've gone ahead and added a YouTube extension until I can perfect our own video embedding scheme. To embed a video from YouTube just use the follow code <nowiki><youtube width="200" height="200">pISzxdEgDCU</youtube></nowiki> Where the jumble of letters is the video code on YouTube (found in the URL). We definitely don't want to abuse this and have tons of videos jammed on every page but I think it will help on some articles.	+	* '''29-11-06''' - I've gone ahead and added a YouTube extension until I can perfect our own video embedding scheme.

−	* '''10~~-17~~-06''' - Looks like the site had a small hiccup while I was sleeping and a few database tables were corrupted. The problem has been resolved and luckily the specific tables didn't hold all the content for the site. I'm going to switch from weekly to daily backups just in case it happens again.	+	* '''17-10-06''' - Looks like the site had a small hiccup while I was sleeping and a few database tables were corrupted.

−	* '''~~10-~~16-06''' - We've had the cavendish skin installed for a while now and I think it is overall better than the old Monobook skin so I've gone ahead and made it the default. You can of course always change your skin by clicking the Preferences link when you're logged in. This new skin will still undergo some changes as we definitely need to add more of a Tolkien-theme to it.	+	* '''16-10-06''' - We've had the cavendish skin installed for a while now and I think it is overall better than the old Monobook skin so I've gone ahead and made it the default.

−	* '''9-27-06''' - We will be migrating to a new server on Sunday, no downtime is expected and the server will feature PHP5 which will allow us to get back to upgrading to the latest versions of MediaWiki, something we have been unable to do for the last few months due to only having PHP4. I'm hoping with the new server will also come TeTex/LaTeX/WikiTeX/TengTex which will allow us to dynamically generate the Tengwar like I promised.	+	* '''27-09-06''' - We will be migrating to a new server on Sunday, no downtime is expected and the server will feature PHP5 which will allow us to get back to upgrading to the latest versions of MediaWiki, something we have been unable to do for the last few months due to only having PHP4.
