Guess what, World Bladers? This website opened 7 years ago today! It's time to celebrate Beywiki!!
Since it's still a work in progress, there aren't big changes as much as encouragements for you all to contribute to the max to this awesome project!
More kid-friendly
Admittedly, Beywiki doesn't visually appeal to kids, especially considering the numerous paragraphs of accurate and in-depth content we have, so to try and remedy this issue to possibly widen our audience, we're introducing the Bad, OK, and Great banners!

Do you see a familiar face around? That's right, Blader DJ's here to help you understand whether a part is good or not!
These banners will be added to each part description like this:

(Leave us some time though, since we've got quite a few Beyblade articles to go through to add all the banners!)
That way, it's visually easy to identify whether a Beyblade is made of worthy parts and how many of them it has. Well, that's on top of the innovative feature we have, the Usefulness Categorization!
A thread will soon be created in the Beywiki Project forum where you'll be able to help and post which articles you have added the banners to just so we can verify that nothing was mislabeled. Stay tuned for the link to this topic, and thanks in advance for your help!
Have you got other ideas to improve Beywiki and make it kid-friendly? You can submit them here, or in the Suggestions for the Wiki thread.
On top of that, I've been doing some much needed updates, such as finally adding articles for accessories on Beywiki. It's not done yet though, so be slightly more patient!
Current Project of the Moment
That's right, it's time for another one of these!
The newest Project of the Moment's goal is to focus on the plastics and HMS articles, since they're lacking some love! It was brought to our attention, notably, that the Random Boosters articles for those generations needed some work, so that'll be on our list, but here are other subjects you can help with if you're knowledgeable about HMS and Plastics or that you own several of them at least:
Discuss your desired contribution to this project and other ideas you think should be done in this area in the official thread for the Project of the Moment:

Introducing... WBO Anime and Manga!
Just because we're the most hardcore community for Beyblade metagame analysis doesn't mean that we've got no ties to the anime and manga attached to that game, and I used to own a website called Beyblade Spirit which mostly focused on that, so it's the perfect opportunity to bring that back to the public, since there's quite a lot of exclusive content there already! Give it up for the Beyblade Spirit encyclopedia!
The way it will work is that, since for some reason it got a lot of SPAM bots already, at least for the beginning all edits will have to go through me. We do want to moderate the quality of what gets published anyway, just like for Beywiki, so that's hitting two targets with one stone anyway.
I've already added all the content I had written for Beyblade Spirit back then, so there's a lot you can read and look at already, but to help add content, you can post right there:

I think the anime is what makes most of us really nostalgic, and this wiki has a lot of running-down-the-memory-lane to bring you!
Face Contest: Design a WBO T-Shirt!

- Write articles about Aero Knight MS and Dranzer MF;
- Write articles for the several plastic Beyblades missing an article!
