Talk:Main Page

ByronTodd (2008-09-26-16:40CST) : BeBerlin has advised that he's willing and able to give a better structure / setup of the wiki. As such, I have removed the protection from the Main Page and given him the go-ahead to move the pages / create the namespace as he sees fit

Looking good!  :)

This is looking really good. What about a slight change to the Welcome to make the SRP an external link to the forums?

Also, should we spend some time on a slick intro with a nice picture?

This should do for the time being - we need more content BeBerlin 15:40, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

I am not overly happy with the layout and colours, but can take care of that at a later stage. I am currently creating stub pages to encourage users to contribute.

I will look into the category tree extension, as I would prefer it to output a bulleted list as this is being used throughout the rest of the page.

Apart from a slick intro with image, we absolutely need a privacy statement, and an about page. I think.

Awesome job guys..

I'll try and find an image of the SRP razor, that would be nice on the front page.

Maybe something to more directly show that we have the forums/main site as well.

Like the one there now or something else? - Lee

Looking better, still needs...

... a hacked version of the category tree extension (which only outputs the pages itself, without their parent categories).

Alternatively, we might look into the portal extension.

Safety

The wiki needs both a concise article and a comprehensive article regarding health and safety when working with and using straight razors

I think this should go into the Disclaimer at the bottom of the page. Speaking of which, we still don't have a copyright notice, privacy policy or an about page. BeBerlin 18:55, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Wiki Contest

This place sure has been quiet since the 8th. I wonder if there are any teams in place working on articles as we speak?

Proposition for new layout 14:07, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

hoglahoo's done a great job at re-formatting the front page. I really like it.

However, I am less than happy with the presentation of the existing contents. While growing the Wiki, we have not - in my humble opinion - paid enough attention to the category namespace. This has led to redundancies. Also, I believe the Tutorials section should go as a whole.

I would like to propose the following structure. For lack of a better representation of categories, I am using headings. But it should give you the right idea.

While on the topic, I think that a modified version of the categorytree extension (see bottom below) would be helpful for navigation purposes. Something for dwessel?

Since I cannot post in the forum, I would like to suggest that you link to this page in the forum if you believe this feasible.

Some experiments with categorytree

<categorytree mode=pages style="float:right; clear:right; margin-left:1ex; border:1px solid gray; padding:0.7ex; background-color:white;">Tutorials</categorytree>

<categorytree mode=pages>History</categorytree>

<categorytree mode=parents>Equipment</categorytree>

<categorytree mode=all>Maintenance and honing</categorytree>

<categorytree mode=categories showcount>Tutorials</categorytree>
