This page is for the discussion of the Main Page only. All issues relating to StrategyWiki itself should be discussed on the Community Issues page. To help improve the Main Page layout, visit the Work in Progress

Index

Shouldn't the mane page contain an index. As it stands I see no clear center; a nexcus, a list of all the games. What the strategy wikis goals and what it is about. Seems more likely to be an about page.

  • There are links to categories that contain the categorized guides on the main page. Right under all the goals. --Hack 19:48, 6 January 2006 (PST)

Screenshot of the day suggestion

I know it's some shameless self-publicity, but could my Image:css_cs_office_overview_general.png image be used as a screenshot of the day? I've just worked for quite a while to make it, and there isn't a screenshot of the day on the main page at the moment anyway. --DrBob 14:37, 22 May 2006 (PDT)

Links

Currently, the links to StrategyWiki:Collaboration of the Month and StrategyWiki:Promising Guide of the Month look really ugly. Basically, instead of

[[StrategyWiki:Promising Guide of the Month]]

have something more like

[[StrategyWiki:Promising Guide of the Month|Promising Guide of the Month]]

So? What do you think? -- RovingRoflguy

Done (I think). -- Prod 00:13, 8 October 2006 (CDT)
Great! --RovingRoflguy 05:57, 10 October 2006 (CDT)

IRC server

irc://irc.dsmeet.com -> irc://irc.abxy.org . -- Prod 00:17, 12 October 2006 (CDT)

Bypass Redirect

check out an example of our system in action should point to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/The Beginning instead of a redirect. --inarius(T) 20:37, 18 October 2006 (CDT)

Wording on introduction

Since people have to register in order to edit pages, the introduction text of

"The guides here can be edited by anyone, so feel free to jump in and improve something!"

seems a bit misleading. Perhaps the words "jump in and improve something" can be linked to the register page? --blendmaster 13:19, 3 July 2007 (CDT)

What about the exclamation mark?--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 14:36, 3 July 2007 (CDT)
It doesn't matter to me. --blendmaster 13:53, 5 July 2007 (CDT)

Ordering of systems

I think it would be better if the order of systems on the main page was in alphabetical order, e.g.:

Systems (all systems): DS, GBA, GameCube, PC, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PSP, Wii, Xbox, Xbox 360

Done--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 15:25, 12 July 2007 (CDT)
I disagree with this change. The systems were sorted by company which makes it a bit easier to navigate (always put similar things together). -- Prod (Talk) 22:24, 12 July 2007 (CDT)
I like it alphabetically, however Wii does NOT fit well before Xbox. Weird... --Notmyhandle (talk contribs) 22:29, 12 July 2007 (CDT)

Genres location

Why not set it underneat the A-Z and statistics? That way we'll have a pyramid effect (why are they at the top anyways?). This is, of course, for when we switch to the systems in graphical form. --Notmyhandle (talk contribs) 19:49, 8 August 2007 (CDT)

Looks good on 800x600+ resolutions, sadly the lower ones have to deal with double rows (doesn't matter the location). --Notmyhandle (talk contribs) 18:15, 9 August 2007 (CDT)

SW is not ready to show off

The DPL list and the redesigned system browser are two very nice additions, but they reveal where StrategyWiki is lacking most (especially the system browser.) Until StrategyWiki is ready to show off, are the new additions really going to help us impress readers with more red links?--Dan 20:24, 10 August 2007 (CDT)
