==Navigation== Although the main portals to content are in the top header, has anyone considered doubling them up and providing a section of the main page to also link to them ''(the portals for Books · Chapter Summaries · Characters · Houses · History · Geography · Organizations · TV Series)''? It just seems like having the main left column top area devoted to a navigational intersection would probably be a good idea. Thoughts? For an example: [http://reddead.wikia.com/wiki/Red_Dead_Wiki RedDeadWiki]'s left section that has a small button link to main portals. Additionally, is anyone opposed to adding information about other media releases of the series ''(example: the rpgs and upcoming games)''? {{User:Hooper/autosig2}} 01:44, 20 September 2011 (UTC) : I think that the Idea of devoting some additional space on the mainpage, for site navigation is a good one, as at the moment it's too small and easy to miss and we want to make it as the experience as intuitive and effective, as possible. we could easily replace the stale "What keeps us occupied?" sction and move the "about" section as footer. With that being said we have added the portals only recently and still in the process of finalizing few of them, so it's a little problematic to design the layout before we finish it, plus I would love if we could make them with some simple representative art(to add some colour to the page) not just big buttons, the problem that we donr really have anything like that yet, you may have noticed that most of the portals images are place holders I made on paint... yeah ... : so personally I'd prefer to wait untill we have all the content before we start with this, but other than that IMO it's great idea, we can see it's being used on [http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page LotR Wikia's] and [http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page Battlestar Wiki's] that were suggested before as reference. our french [http://www.lagardedenuit.com/wiki/index.php?title=Accueil sister project] doing a good job of it, also for reference here is [http://theportalwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page portal wiki] doing a great job of simplistic design and [http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Main_Page tolkiengateway] that apparently was my inspiration for some of the portals. [[User:Mordin999|Mor]] 19:21, 20 September 2011 (UTC) In the last Iteration of our main page, we introduced banners to our main page as suggested by 'Hooper' above. While they are very crude and ugly(I warned you I am no artist) IMO the layout change is a step in the right direction and should improve the wiki navigation, providing better access to the various materials on the wiki. --[[User:Mordin999|Mor]] 09:56, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
