Front page stuff [Come here to suggest featured items!]

[Cairnie]

Hi are we going to put the front page up anytime soon? Any final changes that need to be made like the news, facts and stuff?

Oh wait it's been done YESSSSS!

[Hunchman801]

Even though it's not really finished yet, we were never gonna publish it so I decided to do it But we can still improve it anyway

[Cairnie]

Yeah, guess we can, Mariowiki do it to their front page all the time.

[Hunchman801]

Maybe we can get ideas from their front page (I can't see it right now, their website is apparently blocked at work).

[Cairnie]

On Mariowiki they have featured articles and images of course, a did you know and news, but they also have proposals and a community box where they give congrats to new sysops and stuff. It's nearly the same on Wikipedia but over there they have an "on this day" thing which I don't think we need right now.

We'll see what the others think.

I'm not sure about the news bit as we have a Portal for that, but of course we don't have any particular news concerning the Wiki there. A "Did you know?" feature sounds good, do you mean something along the lines of what RZ has?

Maybe the borders should be black? so it's easier to focus on the text

I think so too.

Wow, luvin' the new front page!

[spiraldoor]

Excellent. I think the 'Welcome to RayWiki' section is missing something, though.

Also, the "Did You Know" section needs to list more obscure facts that most fans aren't aware of. Stuff about rare products like the animated series and Rayman Junior, and stuff from little-known sources like the websites (Great Spirit Palmito, Razoff's family and so on).

The wiki looks great, keep working at it. It's getting better and better.

[Cairnie]

Right everyone, let's propose our next featured article!

What about rayman 2...?

[Cairnie]

The Rayman 2 page is not quite up to par yet but we could make it so.

[spiraldoor]

Is there any way the main-page features ("Did You Know", "Featured Quote", "Featured Image" and so on) could be randomised, so that a different one appears every time you refresh the page? I think that would be much better than changing them all every few weeks, but I have no idea how hard it would be to implement.

[Cairnie]

It can be done I think but personally I don't know how.

[Hunchman801]

I'll try to find some information about it. By the way, Stacey, do you have screenshots of clouds with eyes from the Jaguar version?

[spiraldoor]

If you leave the Jaguar version on the title screen for long enough, some demos showing various levels will start playing. I took some screenshots of them last year, but they're gone now.

That happens on the PS1 version as well.

[PluMGMK]

It happens in every version.
