Talk:Front Page
Wahaay, I´ve finally put my proposed page to the front :D . Hey, if anybody has questions about editing the main page, please shoot away! I know that the table syntax is somewhat daunting at first, but its relatively easy actually. Go have a look here if you have some time. --SeanHeron 16:01, 15 Apr 2006 (W. Europe Daylight Time)
Hmm, although I changed it myself, I think the "old" design is nicer after all. Also the syntax is slightly more simple so unexperienced wiki users may be more invited to play around with it. Maybe a mix of both designs would be best... Please criticize what you like, and dislike about the different designs (and feel free to go ahead and make some design ideas of your own) -- SeanHeron 12:43, 17 Apr 2006 (W. Europe Daylight Time)
As others mentioned on the Forums, this page design looks like it might be good for the main site front page, but isn't really good for the Wiki front-page. That said, the old Wiki front page could use a bit of a redesign. Right now, it's not really obvious what a newbie wants to read, and the categories seem a little arbitrary. Perhaps a better set would be:
Spring (Read Me First, Getting Started, Using Spring, Spring On A LAN, Strategy and Tactics, Features, FAQ, Spring Project, Related Software) - Also might be worth changing "Related Software" to, say, "Lobby Clients", since there appear to be a bunch in development.
Community (Clans, King Titles, Mods, Maps, Monthly Topic Rotation, Add to the Wiki)
Modding (Mod Development, Unit Development, Create Units, Create Maps, Map, Mod, And Unit Development Programs)
Development (Source Development, Linux, Mac, AI)
It could be split into two rows, one for Spring and Community, one for Modding and Development.
Thoughts?

I moved the "original" main page back here, and main page to front page. Since this is the main page of the wiki this makes more sense to me, and then I don't have to change any links. :) http://taspring.clan-sy.com/index2.php is a w.i.p of a frontpage using Front Page as a source for the header. I'm not sure the talk pages are matching anymore though, perhaps some wiki master could take a look at it :) --Fnordia 15:53, 23 Apr 2006 (W. Europe Daylight Time)
- Its looking good. You still have to properly implement the Community News (Just replace Template:Community News with the community news), but apart from that I cant see a problem at all.
- Should the page be protected so random vandals dont come in and destroy it? Its not a problem now, but in the future it might be.
