Full but short rticle on Variety.com

Fixing Template:Games
As you might've seen, has been broken for quite a while now, working not quite right. Its main issues are its, now awkward, placement, the tendency to cover content that resulted from the move and the fact that it would mostly show an empty square with no icons in it.
Luckily for us, the handy folks over at the Fandom Developers Wiki have a replacement for us. Using the EraIcons script, we can now place the icons where they originally were. I've created a demo at Template:Games/replacement, which you can see in action on BioShock Wiki:Sandbox. The icon in the top right, above the edit button, is the icon added by the new template. The one within the box in the article is our current solution. Stupidly enough functions fine on that page, so for a malfunctioning version see, Rapture.
- The maintenance load is much, much lower as the current solution is unmaintainable. The original author/importer is no longer active here and nobody here actually knows how the JavaScript powering the templ…
Irrational Games announces new studio name.
Well, after so long being know as "Formerly Irrational Games", we know now the new name for the company. Ghost Story Games. The old Irrational web site still exists, but a new site is now up at: Ghost Story Games. Some stuff there but nothing on the new game yet. I don't know if they are going to pull the old site or not, so if there is anything you want from it, get it now. sm
A Serious Consideration
Friends, Rapturians, contributors, lend me your ears. I've been seriously considering a potentially large change that will impact the BioShock Wiki and I need your input.
All Wikis have optional features that impact the user experience including enabling/disabling things like polls, blogs, forums, etc. One of these Features is called "Require All Contributors to Log In;" it's exactly what it sounds like:
- Do you want all contributors on your wikia to be logged in? When this feature is enabled, no anonymous visitors will be allowed to edit pages or participate in comments, Forum or Message Wall without logging in. Anyone can still create a Wikia account to join your community!
I've seen many Wikis that have this Feature turned on, the question is do we want to count ourselves among them? Recent events have prompted me to say "yes," but this is not a dictatorship and I don't want it to be. Please, please, PLEASE share your thoughts, feelings, and concerns regarding this proposed change below. S…
BioShock to Receive "Remastered" Makeover
"Good news, Mister or Missus citizen Rapture!"
Ten years is a long time, nonetheless BioShock remains a thrilling, thoughtful, and beautiful game. Still, time marches on and technology improves, and while the city of Rapture may deteriorate, it's about to become even more gorgeous.
BioShock The Collection has been announced. What does this mean? It appears that BioShock, BioShock 2, and BioShock Infinite will be enhanced and remastered for current platforms! So far only hints from 2K, the BioShock Twitter page, and a few screenshots have been released, but an official announcement is expected. Is this all a hoax? A vicious rumor drummed up by the Parasites? Hopefully we'll know soon enough. Stay tuned for more updates!
"Yes, we thought you'd like the sound of that!"

Fake copies of Breaking the Mold BioShock Art Book
Counterfeit copies of the Breaking the Mold artbook have been spotted on eBay - this is a public service announcement from Rapture.
Someone out there is making a nice profit by misrepresenting and illegally selling fake copies of Breaking the Mold.
It kills me that fans may have bought these copies without knowing it, and unfortunately there's no way to warn people on eBay.
If this info can be spread, and linked as a warning on the Breaking the Mold page, it would be appreciated, to help warn our fan community.
The first seller is 555canada and the second seller is playcanada.
The first auction shows 6 sold for $49.99 with 1 more available, and who knows how many more have been sold already.
The second auction from a different seller has the SAME photos and shows 1 sold for $49.99 with 1 more available.
Both sellers live in Calgary, Alberta, so they're undoubtedly the same person. Remember, the auctions use the same photos!
Here's what their auctions look like on April 25, 2016:
And here's the…
BioShock Bingo
April can be a stressful time for many, especially here in America. Tax season, end of semester exams, the weather is still completely nuts, etc. We could all use a momentary distraction... how about a game of Bingo? The classic game of chance was invented in 1929 and certainly would have been played in Rapture. With that in mind, I present...
BIOSHOCK BINGO!
We've all completed BioShock, but maybe we've made two or more save files on different levels. So load up the game, or start from the beginning, and fill out the card every time you see, hear, or encounter something on the card.
Single Player Mode:
Time yourself. How long does it take you to get 5 in a row? How long until can you fill out all the spaces?
Single Player Mode:
The standard game. (Coming Soon)
Group Participation
One card is nice, but you really can't play without more than one. Help me come up with more things to put in the boxes and I'll make more cards. If you come up with some different observations, put them in the commen…
Botflag for MainframeBot
You may have seen my bot MainframeBot editing several file pages in quick succession. I'm using AutoWikiBrowser to achieve this. It makes replacing categories, adding templates etc much easier. It does flood Special:Recentchanges and Special:WikiActivity however. By getting a bot flag, edits by an account flagged as a bot are hidden from the aforementioned special pages. A bot flag has to be requested from staff and usually requires community consensus. The question thus is:
Does the BioShock Wiki community agree with MainframeBot obtaining a bot flag?
