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?
Bump
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)
