 '''IP'''. I do appreciate geyser's new page, but I think the formatting is not really proper wiki-style. True, it's our wiki and it can look however we want it to. I just prefer a vertical layout to a horizontal layout. Also, the comments on each item in GP are a bit untidy and make it look cluttered because they broaden the overall table. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 18:44, 4 February 2008 (CET)
+'''GP'''.
+:(I don't think either Iritscen or I are in a position to vote, but his critique deserves a response)
+:No comment on your preferences, but IMO a home page should offer an overview within a page or two.
+:Optimally, the user doesn't need to scroll at all to start navigating (more or less my suggestion).
+:As for "proper wiki-style", you should have a 2nd look at Main Pages: they are ''not'' "site maps"...
+:They are typically very small: either tight paragraphs or tables, directing to only a few pages.
+:Finally, my table spans the whole page: the comments wrap around instead of "broadening it up".
+:Also note that the comments don't wrap at all unless your horizontal resolution is 800 or lower.
+:I wouldn't say the table looks cluttered on a 1024x768 monitor, which is quite something.
+:If by "untidy" you meant the wacky randomness of some comments, it's an intended feature.
+:Of course I can't claim to be a master of silly jokes à la Bungie (nor do I want to).
+:But the wiki can be made more appealing/intriguing if it's spiced up by such things.
