|title=Studio Namespace |
|||
|content=We've expanded the range of content which you can put on the website; now, non-lore, non-narrative content can also be put in the <code>Studio:</code> namespace. For example, comics, essays, works meta to a Scope, and other non-normative works fit in the <code>Studio:</code> namespace. |

===Example=== |

{{Studio Notice|use_scope_styling=false|add_category=false}} |

|title=One-Shot Scope |
|||
|content= This month, we expanded the site to include '''One-Shot articles'''; standalone settings, stories, or concepts that exist entirely within a single page. Designed for self-contained writings, One-Shots are perfect for creative experiments, speculative vignettes, or one-off worldbuilding ideas that don’t tie into larger universes. |

===Example=== |

{{One-Shot|use_scope_styling=false|add_category=false|add_indicator=false}} |

|title=Committee System Implementation |
|||
|content=To help people focus and collaborate on specialized or Scope-specific tasks, we have implemented the Committee System. You may be a member of up to four Scope committees and four general committees at any time. To create a committee, you must have at least four total members (including yourself) who are interested and want to participate. Some examples of committes include the Template and Styling Committee, the [[Amaranth Legacy:Onboarding & Outreach Committee|Onboarding & Outreach Committee]], the Cosmoria Committee, and the Silky Way Committee. |

Hey everyone!
We had an incredible May, and I’m thrilled to share some of the amazing things we accomplished. May holds particular significance, as it marks the ten-year anniversary of Amaranth Legacy!
