The feedback that I have received on some 'little games' I've played with the wiki ranges very wildly between extremely good, and extremely bad. I thought I'd take a moment to explain myself a bit, here.

My little "games" on the Wiki, which I will outline below with more background information on how they came to be, are not intended to upset anyone. Furthermore, they are done, generally, with the approval of EVE University Upper Management, and I very carefully consider the ramifications if the changes ~~are~~ perceived negatively. The UniWiki is an invaluable resource, both for EVE University as a recruitment tool, and for the player base at large as their primary source of information - I am extremely conscious of that and do not intend to ruin it over a little bit of fun.

However, I would also like to point out that these changes are tests of another sort, in disguise. MediaWiki software is infinitely complex, and contains layers upon layers of old code and patches that are hard to navigate in the source code. As I move forward to a complete facelift for the wiki in the near future, I am using these opportunities for "a little fun" to test the capabilities and limits of what I can do with the MediaWiki software, as well as the extensions that we have chosen to install on this server. Each little trick so far has taught me much, and elements of them (though in less annoying manners) will be utilized in the wiki of our future.
