If I recall correctly the largest changes are that users in the Trusted category get to skip the forced edit previews, use the "Rollback" function (see [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Rollback the MW API description] and [[Special:RecentChanges]]), move pages without creating redirects (not all that useful, I'll admit) and bypass a few of our abuse/vandalism/spam checks. I can't recall it changing all that much beyond that and what's listed on the [[Discovery Wiki:Trusted users|trusted users group page]], though. - [[User:Space|Space]] <sup>[[User talk:Space|(talk)]]</sup> 16:49, 24 May 2015 (CEST)

Hi; when updating pages, please look over them and add a few <nowiki>[[wikilinks]]</nowiki> where appropriate as suggested in the [[code generator guide]] and [[Style Guide|style guides]]; they are an important part of what makes a wiki a wiki - i.e. being able to click on and read inline links to pages with related content - and not something that the code generator can ever do automagically. The "Generate code" button does not really a make updating a "click-and-forget" process for most pages, unfortunately. - [[User:Space|Space]] <sup>[[User talk:Space|(talk)]]</sup> 10:01, 25 May 2015 (CEST)

Hi! Please don't do this, as category pages are useful for seeing, well, what's in a category; setting up a redirect on them removes their primary function. Adding a description with a link to the page the category is related to (i.e. the page that you are redirecting to) would perhaps be a bit more user-friendly; I'll be doing this on the category pages with redirects now. - [[User:Space|Space]] <sup>[[User talk:Space|(talk)]]</sup> 11:57, 7 July 2015 (CEST)

Update Log

1. Updated all house navy ships.
2. Updated all the battleship bases in sirius.

Your recent ship page updates

Hi! Many thanks for the effort, but please take care to check the diff before clicking "Save Changes" when using the code generator, as quite a few of the fighters on your updated ship pages have been mislabeled as Bombers by the code generator, as noted in the Code generator guide. It is not a hundred percent automatic, unfortunately, and does require manual checking to ensure accuracy. I haven't got the time to clean this up right now due to exams over the next few weeks, but I'll take a look at it as soon as I can. - Space (talk) 12:16, 22 May 2015 (CEST)

Wikilinks on recent updates

Hi; when updating pages, please look over them and add a few [[wikilinks]] where appropriate as suggested in the code generator guide and style guides; they are an important part of what makes a wiki a wiki - i.e. being able to click on and read inline links to pages with related content - and not something that the code generator can ever do automagically. The "Generate code" button does not really a make updating a "click-and-forget" process for most pages, unfortunately. - Space (talk) 10:01, 25 May 2015 (CEST)

Category page redirects

Hi! Please don't do this, as category pages are useful for seeing, well, what's in a category; setting up a redirect on them removes their primary function. Adding a description with a link to the page the category is related to (i.e. the page that you are redirecting to) would perhaps be a bit more user-friendly; I'll be doing this on the category pages with redirects now. - Space (talk) 11:57, 7 July 2015 (CEST)
