== Prototyping ==
I'm prototyping a new mainpage with a 'Wurmictionary' or babel, will list all articles by letter, [[User:Lainiwakura/NewMainPagePrototype|you can see it here]]. <small>--[[User:Lainiwakura|Lain Iwakura]] 06:55, 20 May 2006 (CDT)</small>
: The prototype looks messed up in Firefox here. "Wiki editing requires login", "Categories" and IRC are on the right side of the contents window now, while the babel is below them in the right bottom corner. <small>--[[User:Manny|Manny]] 0:43, 21 May 2006 (GMT+2)</small>
: That's why it's a prototype... :P, I don't want to break the real mainpage whilst I experiment. <small>--[[User:Lainiwakura|Lain Iwakura]] 12:49, 21 May 2006 (CDT)</small>
: Woo! Fixed it, should look right in Firefox & Opera now, but IE is being mean. :( <small>--[[User:Lainiwakura|Lain Iwakura]] 02:06, 24 May 2006 (CDT)</small>

== Re organise the main page ==
The main page is a bit messy at the moment. I think we should make something simple like Wikipedia's Main Page. It will help users find things faster. Does anyone agree? I will work on a prototype of the ideas I have in mind - check my [[User:Ancient|user page]].
--[[User:Ancient|Ancient]] 12:04, 6 June 2006 (CDT)
Here's what I've got so far: [[User:Ancient/Prototype_Main_Page]]. Any ideas and suggestions? Do you think we should replace the main page with this. I've also seen that Lain Iwakura is working on alphabetical categories for all articles: [[User:Lainiwakura/NewMainPagePrototype]]. This could be introduced into my prototype too and replace the main-page. Does anyone think this is a good idea?

I like it so far. :) <small>--[[User:Lainiwakura|Lain Iwakura]] 06:04, 7 June 2006 (CDT)</small>
Well I've just about finished it - if i've forgotten some things then people can add them later. Unless anyone objects then we can replace the main page with it soon. <small>--[[User:Ancient|Ancient]] 09:56, 8 June 2006 (CDT)</small>
Two thumbs up: clean and efficient <small>--[[User:Kanif|Kanif]] 16:53, 13 june 2006 (EST)</small>
Since babel is starting, maybe a "(work in progress)" beside "Alphabetically Categorised Articles" would be in order for a while. <small>--[[User:Kanif|Kanif]] 17:07, 13 june 2006 (EST)</small>
Maybe we can put the contents in a little box :) --[[User:Sppt|Sppt]] 13:21, 14 June 2006 (CDT)
I've took out most of the HTML in <nowiki>[[Fr:Page principale]]</nowiki>. Is it ok? ''Fits well for a test page.''. --[[User:Kanif|Kanif]] 06:39, 16 June 2006 (CDT)
Absolutely fine. I don't mind - I think most people also find it easier to edit in wiki-code but I just don't get tables in it - that's why the new Main Page is nearly all HTML. --[[User:Ancient|Ancient]] 14:32, 16 June 2006 (CDT)
== Add new category? ==
Should we add a new category to mainpage wich is about players with the highest skills and best achivements in villages and homesteads? --[[Player:ChJees|ChJees]] 07:58, 26 October 2007 (CDT)
: I'm not convinced that's a good idea. There's already a skill compare site, and villages can boast their accomplishments on the village pages. The wiki should be as objective as possible, getting involved in matters as subjective as which achievements are best is not attractive to me. - [[User:Dashiva|Dashiva]] 13:02, 26 October 2007 (CDT)
