User blog:DaNASCAT/Technical Update: December 16, 2014

Here are the latest technical updates at Wikia. Keep in mind that our system updates happen every Wednesday, so we're posting this on a Tuesday to give you advance notice. Also note that we change hundreds of tiny details every week, so these are just the highlights.

''This is the last major code release and the last Technical Updates post of 2014. See you in 2015 and Happy Holidays!''
