Blog:Announcement (2022; Week 46)

Introduction
Hello there Aycee here I am here to announce the feature changes this wiki will go through as well as some previous changes I have made

Already Implemented Changes
I have added a variants section to the Ideology template if you want a good example go to the Technoprimitivism page. I have created a full list of all currently existing regional and fictional ideologies even though the regional ideology list will be useless. I have removed unpolitical media from the fictional movements list.

Abolishment of the Split
So we originally had the Canon, Non-Canon split which was abolished for being insanely redundant and replaced by the Canon, Regional split which was mushy and badly defined in my opinion. Later (more accurately a few weeks ago) I expanded this split to the Canon, Regional, and Fictional split which seemed just as redundant, so we as the mod team have decided collectively to abolish the split entirely for being insanely redundant this means the categories of canon and regional will be getting deleted. This does not mean that Fictional as a category, navbox, and message box will be abolished. In effect, this means every ideology is canon.

Cleaning up Pages and Deleting Files
We will be mass deleting duplicate files, and we will be mass deleting unused files along with cleaning up redirects and cleaning up and renaming categories.

Ideology Council
This is one of the biggest announcements maybe in PCB history but we will be creating a PCB Ideology Council (PCBIC). This council will have a few functions: The council will consist of mod and non-mod members of the community and you can sign up to the council via this google form (the google form will also be on the front page) current members of the council are: For any big decision (deletion, merger, integration, addition, design change, renaming) to be made at least 2/3 of the council has to vote on it, and for it to pass at least 2/3 of the council have to agree.
 * 1) Deciding which pages should be deleted
 * 2) Deciding which pages should be renamed
 * 3) Deciding which pages should be merged
 * 4) Deciding which pages should be integrated
 * 5) Deciding which pages should have which redirects
 * 6) Deciding which pages should be added
 * 7) Deciding which ideologies should have their design changed
 * 8) Deciding which variants a page should have
 * Inky
 * Monkey
 * Atzyn
 * Aycee Lovelace (expert on accelerationism)
 * Nguyen (expert on marxism)
 * Nyteulo (expert on marxism-leninism)
 * K-tech (expert on reactionaryism)
 * Froggers (expert on early liberalism)
 * Jao (expert on fascism)

Changes to Ideology Template
You will now be able to change the background color of the given Ideology template.

New File Name Rules
We are changing the file name rules to be: (Shortened Name of Ideology).png (Name of comic)-(Artist)-comic.png (Name of thinker)-icon.png (Name of ideology)-(Artist)-portrait.png (Name of user)-(test name)-(date the test was taken)-test.png (Name of Ideology)-flag.svg The first example is for ideology icons. If the artist is not known we will just put unknown. A portrait is defined as a drawing that displays a singular ideology. For icons the (alt), (alt(insert number)) system will remain.

Mass Redesign of Ideologies
A lot of Ideologies' ball/flag designs will be changed to be more unique along with individual ideologies having more unique accessories.

New Navboxes
Three new navboxes will be added:
 * Philosophies
 * Globalists/Internationalists
 * Political Concepts

Variants are official now
Variants of ideologies are recognized as official ideologies examples would be Meta-Anarchism can now be used on the subreddit in a comic because it is a variant of Post-Anarchism. Voluntarism can now be used again in comics because it is a variant of Anarcho-Capitalism. This policy of course means that variants will be heavily regulated and in the ensuing period we will crack down on variants we do not think should be recognized as official. For examples of how variants should be implemented look at Liberal Socialism for how portraits should be implemented. DO NOT add portraits of variants to the ideology template as this will clutter it.

Social Features Return
The features of the User: namespace will return (pfps as an example of such) as they were disabled to avoid a ban.
