Re: new wiki front page
What exactly did you change beside the colors and why do you think it's better that way?

You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.
Re: new wiki front page
Too much unnecessary consolidation. The story / world section looks gross; possibly because you've smushed it together, without using hyphens as separators. You've mixed content with gameplay features. The two categories aren't exactly one in the same. Your programming section seems to have fallen apart and formed a link cloud; blecch.
I agree that some reorganizing and rewording should be performed, but this looks sloppier than the current version. The only quality I can see in your suggested change, over what is currently published, is the removal of the useless Miscellaneous section. What would be really cool, is if someone could think of an efficient way to use that space.

,apart from the small colour change which is more comfortable for sight ( i also put titles in capital letters), i have split the two columns into 3 blocks of text each in a symmetrical way , reordering the links under more convenient titles , in the current page there isn't a help section (which is really important for newbies ) , but there is a feedback section with only two links (in my page every block has more or less the same amount of links), also i don't understand why in the current page we have information and then reference , which means more or less the same . in my page contents and story (developerss column) goes in general info . its not useful to split it. i also put a "list section"
and then wrote monsters , npc , items , guilds . in the current page we have: list of npc , list of guild , list of monster instead of putting a list section and avoiding to repeat the word list 100 times. my page can be improved but i think its better than actual page whre info is spread through hundreds of sections and its difficult to see.
well , as Dave said i got rid of the useless Miscellaneous section and put its contents elsewhereWhat exactly did you change beside the colors and why do you think it's better that way?

I liked the old color scheme much better.Habari wrote: ,apart from the small colour change which is more comfortable for sight ( i also put titles in capital letters),
It doesn't look much more symetric to me. Did you look at it in a different browser?i have split the two columns into 3 blocks of text each in a symmetrical way
That's something which can be consideredin the current page there isn't a help section (which is really important for newbies )
Grouping the links in a useful way is more important than symmerty. It makes sense to separate the parts which are supposed to be interactive form the non-interactive information articles., but there is a feedback section with only two links (in my page every block has more or less the same amount of links),
No, it does not. Maybe you misunderstand the meaning of the word "reference".also i don't understand why in the current page we have information and then reference , which means more or less the same .
As dave already pointed out it makes sense to separate "hard" content development from "soft" background development.in my page contents and story (developerss column) goes in general info . its not useful to split it.
Does not really make sense in my opinion because there is a lot which can be called a "list" without having anything to do with each other. The list of developers, for example, is completely uninteresting for the average player.i also put a "list section"
and then wrote monsters , npc , items , guilds . in the current page we have: list of npc , list of guild , list of monster instead of putting a list section and avoiding to repeat the word list 100 times.
