Talk:Main Page

Main Page Revamp

I am planning to redesign the main page, and would like the community contribute their ideas of what they would want the main page to be, and do. Here are some ideas that I'm toying with:

• Top Links remain, but are turned into buttons, and prettied up a bit.
• A "News" section to alert visitors about current stories being written, changes to the wiki, etc.
• Possibly a seasonal story competition . . . I could afford to give out an award four time a year without any issues. Would this be fun?
• The normal sections on wiki use and story formatting, cleaned up and made pretty.
• Maybe a section specifically for writing guides?

Anyone have any other ideas, or feedback on the ones I just posited?

Since I imagine most of the users on this wiki being readers rather than writers (and fellow writers also being readers in their own right) I'd say that anything that helps users find new stories to read easier is a plus. "News" section would therefore be a nice addition to main page, perhaps to replace "basic formatting rules", "advanced formatting" etc. They're all already here so a big, noticeable link on a main page to potential contributiors should be enough? Competitions might also be fun to try, maybe start with one to see how much interest there is, and also to get more content on the site. Maybe have a section of their own for them? I don't really have any ideas of my own, but there's my two cents on sugestions above. Innocent Ruin (talk) 14:51, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Revamping the main page is going to be great for navigation. I like the seasonal story idea as well. I don't know if it's possible, but maybe some general polls for fun on the main page could help with user participation and activity. --Green (talk) 04:22, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

Also, if you need any help with that or css I can do a little. An example of CSS I've done is here compared to the original here. --Green (talk) 04:29, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

Another idea could be raffling off branches of old or existing stories. What I mean is there are quite a few pending requests that users want to read, but nobody is currently writing them either due to author not being available or even just lack of awareness (some branches are difficult to get to and get back to). We could maybe have a featured story and authors could submit their versions of the page in, say, the discussion page or another page entirely. Then, users could vote on their favorite, which would then get featured on the page. (Logistically, I think like a cutoff date for entry, say a month, then open voting for 1-2 weeks.) This would be more work, for sure, and I don't know how high participation would be. Just a thought. Edit: This is more frivolous, and I know this isn't the forums, but maybe every user could get 1 "favorite" button a month and use it on their favorite page. Also, maybe a template for the user page for "top 3 favorite stories" can help interaction or at least let other people see who the user is. --Green (talk) 16:16, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

How to create stories

I can edit them but how do i create new ones? Pls help

Sidebar "NSFW"

Why is "ATF Booru" in the sidebar listed as "NSFW"? This is an NSFW site, and "All the Fallen" is also NSFW. --Cum Girl (talk) 07:05, 25 January 2022 (CET)

Copyrights page

Will the page All_The_Fallen_Stories:Copyrights ever be created? It seems like a good idea to have some copyright information about how stories are available on this site. --Cum Girl (talk) 07:11, 30 March 2022 (CEST)
