We should be thinking up a design for our logo. Any ideas? Emos Talk to me 08:18, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- Well, we have Jigo's original logo which was too big (and also could be easily cropped), and we have my version of RSW's logo. I don't have any ideas besides my version of RSW's.

- Our current logo is pretty good, how about we have a poll saying that whether we should stick to it? Emos Talk to me 08:38, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
- Sure. Chiafriend12 23:46, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
- Sure.
This logo's even better! Emos Talk to me 07:33, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Layout
Someone should make the mainpage look different than the default look. .png){kind=small}

- I did, i think it looks nice, but i dont know your opinions, feel free to change it back to the past revisions or edit it, also i can help you set the boxes for the Images and Articles of the month, im copying from my VisualBoy Advance Wiki and editing it accordingly, i hope you all like my work

- It looks nice, but I think the blue boxes should have their text aligned to the left, rather than right. Chiafriend12 20:19, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
- Done :) Jigo22 TalkieSB 20:59, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article of the Month
Everyone who is an active user will notice that the first two AoMs have been Role Plays. At this rate, every AoM will be a Role Play! Solution? Make a separate box for the Role Play, like a summary box. Whenever we finish a Role Play, one of our admins or sysops or whatever writes down the summary of the latest role play, leaving the AoM box clear for proper articles. I think it's a great idea.
--Fegaxeyl 09:11, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- I think that idea is excelent, we could get on it by the next month, speak with Chia to see if he wants to change the rules and make this, i will gladly make that box! Jigo22 TalkieSB 00:29, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- Or, we could have a <choose> effect, and have a random summary of a role-play. I think it's a good idea (Fegaxeyl's, not necessarily mine). Chiafriend12 01:47, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Font
Is there a reason the Main Page isn't using a "normal" font, like Times New Roman or Arial? The font we have now is kind of hard to read. Lexmarkmantalk 15:35, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- I agree. --Yunzhong Hou
- I don't know how to change it, If you could explain me how to i would. Jigo22 TalkieSB 18:17, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
- I've changed it. {{SUBST:Nosubst|Signatures/Lexmarkman}} 22:55, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] What the...
I prefered the colour before.
Well, whatever color you decide on, please make it lighter so that the links stand out more and make the text black, OR make the links have a brighter color. Check out the color chart for your favorite background. --Yunzhong Hou
I changed it, this is an option, you can revert. 
Jigo22 TalkieSB 17:23, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
- I like the blue version. It has a good color scheme to it. --Yunzhong Hou
- I really don't like the light blue backgrounds. I think we should either use the previous colour or 2 colors from the Tango Desktop Project colour palette, which is really an icon palette, but the set of colors is nice.--

[edit] KISS
Keep it simple, st**id. We shouldn't fill up the main page with unnecessary clutter; it makes it less appealing and less user-friendly. Check out these fiction wikia pages:
And my user pages:
Hope this helps,

[edit] Claim
The front page infobox on the wiki says that we're still getting off the ground. Now that we have well over a thousand articles, is this really necessary? Perhaps we should change it to something else, i.e. "We look forward to growth". What does everyone think?
--Fegaxeyl 11:36, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
- Sounds good. I changed it. Chiafriend12 01:25, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Random Role Play
Do we really need this? Role-plays are no where near an important feature on the site! And the descriptions barely fill up a 4th of the space! I say we do away with it!!! And if we do, I have a wonderful proposal to replace it with: A box that is filled with community tasks! Which would look something like this:
Community Tasks
Items in bold are extended to sysops/b'crats only. |
We could add more tasks if need be. so...what do you think? ugozima. .14:36, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
The Random Roleplay was made to keep out Roleplays from the AotMs, we could add the box you propose, but removing the "Edit Stubs" thing, maybe replace it with "Help the free edit articles".
Jigo22 TalkieSB 14:54, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
Most of this information exists on the Main Page already, and some of it is quite obvious. And calling them "Tasks" is a little extreme. And since when has anything "taken up a 4th"? Andrew 16:40, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
[edit] url
You know, "Runescapefanfiction" is a retty long title. Could you change it to just "runescapefanfic" or "runescapefanon"? —Mectrixctic (talk • contribs) forgot to sign this comment.
- Changing the URL would be bad (there are a lot of links to this site, and then they potentially would not work anymore), and I'm not sure it can be done. Also, Wikia had a new policy that fan fiction wikis could not have "fanon" in their URL put in place shortly before this wiki was requested back in 2007 (long story, but fanon is distinctly different than fan fiction). Chiafriend12 05:39, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
Couldn't we redirect "runescapefanfic" to this, or vice versa?- Mectrixctic
[edit] Colour Scheme
OH MY GOD!
It's changed into RuneScape Pre-schooler Fairy Tales! The front page has metamorphosed into a bizarre technicolour mix! This isn't really appropriate for our wiki - it's looks too, as the Americans call it, 'lame'.
--Fegaxeyl 07:06, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Oh Em Jee
Hey the first time I entered the wiki I got seizure. I think the colours should be less bright, or just matching. No offence but the front page doesn't have any 'taste' now.

I liked the main page the way it was - I hate those bright colours, it makes us look like hippies, which is the last thing I want. Although it was a great effort, I really don't like it. I'm going to revert it until we vote on whether we want the original or new. 
Talk, just keep it clean 15:44, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
- There is no way we're going to use that color scheme. Too sporadic. Chiafriend12 22:18, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Main Page Tweaks
In light of the recent Main Page mishap, I have decided to propose another Main Page redesign, because I think the current design is heavy and boring. My new design not only gives the Main Page a light and airy feel, it adds some vital elements that were missing: a news box to post news without having to edit the Sitenotice, and a bulletin box to make things that are currently frozen, such as my RFA, active again. Yes, this design does kill the random roleplay box, but that box was introduced to keep roleplays out of the featured article debates. But with the bulletin box, this is no longer needed. This design also puts all the monthlies in one column, and the tutorial, news, and bulletin in another. This design makes more sense, because related items are grouped together. Oh, one more thing, I wasn't sure which color would be appropriate, so I made 5 versions: indigo, green, red, and teal. Light blue was added at Fegaxeyl's request. Okay, so know you probably want to see these. Well... ugozima. . 15:42, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Comments
I really like the design, however I'm not totally decided on the colours. I'm leaning towards the Ocean Teal scheme as well as the green option; if you could create one that used light blues then I would be able to decide. Oh, and do you know how to make soft-edged (faded) boxes? They're used on the StarCraft wiki main page and I think they would look quite good here.
--Fegaxeyl 15:59, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
- I can take a peek at the coding, Feg. And I'll design a light blue one. ugozima. . 16:55, 4 June 2009 (UTC) Okay, I looked at the coding and they have 7 borders piled on top of eachother to make a cascade effect. I don't think we can do so with the way we have the main page set up, as in we'd need a whole lot of complicated <div> code. What I'm saying is we need and even more drastic change to make that happen, unfortunately. ugozima. . 17:03, 4 June 2009 (UTC) Royal Blue is up, check it out. ugozima. .17:16, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
Seeing as we have come to a consensus, I am changing the MP to the royal blue design. Ugozima 16:19, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
