proposal to change front page

Hey folks.

I'd like to portalize the front page, much like wikipedia. I think it would look much cooler.

Here's some examples:

http://www.hchs.hunter.cuny.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

http://www.tinymux.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

http://os.jointhesaga.com/OSWiki/mediawiki-1.4.6/index.php/Main_Page

I think it makes the site look more organized, and offers more information on the front page. I'll whip up a sandbox so you can see what I'm talking about.

• I have no idea how to do that. If you can do that and make it look good (via example page first), I've got no problems with it being changed. Just so long as the important links are still on the front page. :-) --Aidoann 12:40, 19 July 2007 (PDT)

• • Yeah what Anne says, If you can make it look cool.. Please do it ;-) Erik 04:17, 13 August 2007 (PDT)

• I've made an example: Main_Page_Portal Tell me what you think. Erik 04:58, 13 August 2007 (PDT)

• Nice layout, but I'd prefer one that didn't have dark blue text on a dark brown background. Hard to read. Tora

• Put it up front.. we shall see what happens :) Erik 14:13, 16 August 2007 (PDT)

• Please rename templates to something recognizable? And/or put up instructions on how to edit something under a given template? I can't make head or tails of this... Tora 12:53, 22 August 2007 (PDT)

• I agree with Tora. 'Temp4' is quite non-specific... --Aidoann 13:43, 22 August 2007 (PDT)

Spam control

Shoot me if this is a bad idea, but maybe the best way to battle the spam would be to instead of having account signups automatic that new accounts be moderated? I know a lot of wiki implementations have the ability to easily customize account settings like this.

Good idea? Bad idea? Feedback?

ATS IS DOWN

---

ATS is currently down. There was a severe hard drive crash and Atuarre is in the process of rebuilding it. Expect it to be down a little more.

Article Titles

Hey guys and gals.

Can we try to keep the article titles more specific. Things like 'Overview' or 'Things you need to know' or whatever? Yeah, not helpful if the 'things you need to know' are for Starfleet Ship X only and you're a Romulan. Or worse still, if Starfleet Ship X doesn't exist anymore. KKTHXBAI!!1 <3 Zorzi

Character Catagory

Is it possible to link to the catagory page for characters under the resource section? it would be a one stop shop to lookup characters that have a wiki page that have a character catagory assigned.

There is a Category: Characters. Been there for some time now. -U
