<!-- To add a new collaboration, see the template itself. To adjust the focus of the collaboration, please use a template in the other template so you do not have to edit the higher-level page. -->
 
 
 
===Collaboration(s) of the Month(s)===
 
Add a short description of each mob family. See [[:category:Marids|Marids]] as an example. It can detail overall traits such as that the mobs hit fast (rabbits, opo-opo), slow (Goobbues, Treants), hard (Goobbues, Treants), soft (Crabs), high physical defense (Crabs, Slimes), cast magic (slimes, worms), suicide (gobs, dolls), etc. 
 
 
 
Looking for something smaller?  Help to fill in the missing information in the [[Fireworks]] or [[Furniture]] articles.
 
 
 
=== Item Pages ===
 
 
 
Minor formatting tweaks.
 
 
 
Inclusion of the {{tl|Weapon}} and {{tl|Furnishing}} templates. See [[Template talk:Weapon]] and [[Template talk:Furnishing]] for usage info.
 
 
 
See the [[:Category:Image Stub|Image Stub]] page for a listing of items needing images.
 
 
 
=== Key Items ===
 
 
 
See the [[:Category:Key Item Image Stub|Key Item Image Stub]] for a list of key item articles needing images.
 
 
 
=== Mob Pages ===
 
 
 
Mob drop tables for a number of zones needs to be filled in.  Adding information to even just one cell makes a difference!
 
 
 
Add Drop Rates for monsters and NMs you kill to calculate a estimable drop rate! See [[Template talk:Drop Rate]] for usage info.
 
 
 
Several mob pages are missing images, check out the [[:Category:Bestiary Image Stub|Bestiary Image Stub]] for a listing!

With the end of 2007 looming it seems like an appropriate time for a look back at the wiki over this past year. It was a year of significant changes and improvements to the wiki, not to mention growth. Growth in terms of articles. Growth in terms of users. Growth in terms of pageviews. Growth in terms of database size. To put it in perspective, compare November 2007 to November 2006.

In that same period of time, we have gone from the 30,000th most visited website to the 4,000th, and have become, and will continue to be, the best resource for all things FFXI related. We have partnered with Wikia, which not only allows this growth to continue, but provides us with a network focused entirely on wikis and wiki technology.
 
 
Since we began this endeavor in late 2004, we have experienced a number of bumps in the road, a few of which we experienced this past year. This is to be expected. Overall we have weathered the bumps well, and, as is apparent above, have thrived. Thanks again to everyone who has and continues to contribute to this project. I hope everyone is looking forward to a great 2008! --{{User:Gahoo/Sig}} 15:52, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
