Hey, PyroGothNerd! I know it's super early to do this, but it's best to start plotting now then waiting another month. I"m going to need your help with this.

2017 is just around the corner, and I would like to visually revamp this wiki. I have noticed your knack for templates (which is obvious on the front page) and I need those skills for what I think we should do. Anyway, let's get started.

First off, I don't know if you have a skill in Photoshop or any photo editing program, but I think it's time we get a somewhat professional background for the Codex of Monsters. You know, like the ones you see on other wikis with two images on each side and a blank color in the middle? I will go searching for some fantasy artwork in the next few weeks and upload some on here. From there, we can decide which art piece looks the most appealing.

Second off, I would like the Codex of Monsters to use a unique font throughout. If you've seen the Elder Scrolls Wiki, you can see that they use a special font over there. I would like to incorporate a unique font onto the Codex of Monsters. I can find help on this in the very near future, because I don't want you to have to do everything.

Third off, I think it's time we make a new, universal infobox for the creature articles on this site. The primary infobox is Template:Infobox Race II, which is fine, but I think we need one that is better. I don't know if you know how to make an infobox template, but if you do, I can supply you with what I would like to see incorporated into it. If you can't do this, it's okay, I will find someone who can.

Fourth off, let's briefly discuss templates. I think it's time we revamp the stun template and maybe add a few other templates to emphasize something is non-canon. The quote template is fine.

Fifth off, I know you've been on Disney Wiki. They use a special pointer/cursor on there. I think we should find a fantasy-themed one and use it here. I have no clue how people implement that on wikis though.

Sixth off, I would like a wiki logo up top, instead of using one of the default wordmarks, I feel the Codex of Monsters needs something unique. Maybe an illustrated bookshelf or something with a medieval/fantasy theme to it? Once again, if you can do this that's fine, but I'm sure there are some nice folks out there who can help, if you can't. No worries.

Seventh off, this will be your favorite thing...no more copy/paste articles. Once we square away all the other major stuff I want implemented on this wiki, I (or anybody for that matter) will not have to worry about copy/pasting articles. We'll wipe the wiki of its articles (maybe) and revamp it. Also, I will delete all images (except a few) and start giving full credit, whether it'd be fanart or not.

Also, I will make a compilation article based on classes from different series, in case people are unsure of what a "ursa totemic", "savagekin", or other not so well-known classes are.

These are the plans I have for this site in 2017 and I hope they come to fruition. So, if you can help out with this in anyway, I would greatly appreciate it. I will also promote you to an admin.

Cheers and here's looking forward to the (bright) future of the Codex of Monsters!
