Featured Pages

The front page isn't very dynamic, so I was thinking that adding a featured page system would be an excellent way to make it seem more interesting and attractive. We could probably shift it once a week or so, and draw attention to lesser known concepts that the Community would benefit from, as well as new players. The main page would be better with an overhaul, and with sections made neater and better updated. Perhaps the translations would be better put in a sidebar for example, or a literal translation de-emphasised in favour of a general overview of the game in various world languages.

I've had no response in nearly a month, so I'm going ahead with it. Please contact me if you have a problem with changes. Ols 20:45, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

I would keep the page translations considering we have a wide assortment of players who do not speak English but still play wurm. --Doughboy 01:08, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Indeed. Some translations are there, but others are simply links to Google translate, and do not provide much help to the players. I think what it's suggesting is that you copy and paste the main page into the translation field, but I don't see why people who commonly frequent English-language websites but speak it poorly would not do this already.

We can't insinuate that they do though and you can't be 100% sure either way.--Doughboy 19:28, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
