Help Build a LEGO Hobbit Personality Quiz
Calling all Tolkien fans! We need YOUR help to make a LEGO Hobbit personality quiz! To keep us entertained before the next movie and sets are out, we are going to make a personality quiz and you can find out who from The Hobbit you would be!
To help out, submit a question that you think belongs on a personality quiz! We want the final results to be Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf, Gollum, Legolas Greenleaf, or Thorin Oakenshield so your question needs to be fairly vague to keep the mystery of the final result alive! When you submit your question, please include the result for each answer option. For example,
What is your favorite kind of food?
a) A five course meal! - Bilbo
b) Anything that goes well with my pipe-weed - Gandalf

Official Shadow of Mordor Community Unveiled
Be one of the first to check out at the official community for Shadow of Mordor, the upcoming Lord of the Rings video game from Monolith Studios.
The newly launched Shadow of Mordor community is "official," which means you’ll be among the first to see new trailers, images and gameplay footage, as well as hear all the latest on the title as it develops. Perhaps more impressive, however, is the direct line you’ll have to the game’s creators. We’re talking exclusive Q&As, developer chats, and blogs up the yin-yang!

Hmmm....
Looking at our articles, I've noticed that they have WAY too many pictures that all show the same thing. We should delete some of these. Some of our articles also have unnecesary info, such as the video game article: The character info is completely irrelevant. We should definetly change this.
Official LEGO.com Descriptions
If anyone wants to help with adding LEGO.com descriptions, this is the coding that you have to put in to insert the description in a box like on this page Óin. It's really long.
Jed..... left
Just in case you guys didn't see on the LMBW but Jed has officially left wikia. He asked a wikia staff member to ban him until he was 13 which will be on July 27 2014. Here's a link: http://legomessageboards.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:CoolShark/Bye_from_Jed So... IDK what we're going to do with this wikia now... but I just wanted to let you guys know. :/
Meeting Outcome
On November 20th, we had a Admin/CM meeting. Here is what we decided.
This was the main topic. Very important. We wanted to make our wiki unique. Having something that other wikis don't. Here are some things we will add:
- LOTR/Hobbit MOCs.
- Reviews for Sets.
- Info on LEGO LOTR RPs. Specifically, the MB LEGO LOTR RP.
- Articles on fanfics.
- Sub-sections on how true to the book minifigs and sets are
Anyone can help with this! :D
- Rules. We added Chat rules, but they still need some rewording. The admins will take care of this though.
- Improving Front Page - Klintrin is working on this. We want to add links to the members of the Fellowship, and blog links. And a new look, which is what Klint is doing.
- Including LEGO Official Descriptions. We decided we are doi…
Set Titles
I noticed that all the titles for the pages on sets start with numbers. But most people aren't going to search for numbers first, so I think we should change the titles to the name without the numbers.
Also, the latest LEGO catalog says that the Hobbit sets will be available to buy on November 27th, so that's why I was changing it from Dec. to Nov..
Also, sorry if I made some unnecessary edits, but its really hard to edit on my iPad. :S
Badges for Categories
I was wondering, are we going to have badges for doing a certain number of edits on certain categories? Like Dwarf, Man, Hobbit, etc. Just like we have badges on LMB Wiki for the different ranks.
Different infobox for sets?
I was thinking we should have an infobox for sets as well. It should include the piece count, when it was released, the minifigures included, the retail price, and etc.
User Rights Tags Changed/Badges Changed
So, I changed the user rights tags...
Founder = Lord of the Rings (>:P)
Admin = Nazgul
Rollback = Rider of Rohan
Chat Mod = Elven Archer
One of them is "Lord of Moria"...
