Forums: Index > Watercooler > Front page needs updates?
Hello there, the front page seems to be... inefficient? First, the content menu sends you down to the not-so-orderly list at the bottom of the page rather than directing you to the page itself. Second, the page ONLY sends you to the pages the mods come from while many of our pages aren't directly connected to the mods. Maybe we can spruce up the front page with more information, from about the status of the wikia to new updates to Hexxit. It seems... not that useful I guess. What do you guys think? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MDragon00 (talk • contribs)
- I thought about doing something like this already. The front page is a bit horrid and does need to change a bit to be more presentable. Kalbintion (talk) 17:40, August 17, 2013 (UTC)
- I have a sandbox page on my user profile where I am going to be working on a different layout, i already changed the mod list to a table format and it looks much better. Kalbintion (talk) 18:05, August 17, 2013 (UTC)
- Hmm... The page looks pretty good for a clean up, but what type of new information do you think we can put on? Also, a link to the beginner's guide/tutorial page hub would be nice... Also, how do I sign this properly xD -MDragonMDragon00 (talk) 02:02, August 18, 2013 (UTC)
- You sign it with ~~~~ in source. If you're using visual editor, id say dont as it often makes things messy for the source editor people. theres probably a button for it somewhere tho on the visual editor. if not you could always enter that above and see if it works in a preview.
- As for new content? Tutorial links wouldnt be a bad idea. I wanted to get that page up and running asap so i only did a clean-up and didnt really give too much thought about new content on the page. I'll think it over. Kalbintion (talk) 19:34, August 18, 2013 (UTC)
- I've worked on the design choices and feel the way it looks now is a fresh start on it. Theres a few things I think would be worthwhile adding to the main page, which is my new IRC channel information as well links to a few helpful pages (like a "Category:Tutorials" page and a few others). I would like some more input on this however. Kalbintion (talk) 09:50, August 23, 2013 (UTC)
