==Standerds==
'''Archives:''' [[Talk:Main_Page/Archive1|#1]]
:Mayhap we should set some standerds for article creation/modification. For one, NO m-rated language.[[User:The Deadly Brain|The Deadly Brain]] 19:18, 25 May 2007 (CEST)


:I beg to disagree. Clean language is not an option.
[[Category:Contents]]
:The best we can do is blank out certain characters.
:So I hope you're all right with s##t and f##k etc.
:Peace

:In any case, such a rule would have to be motivated.
:Are ''you'' offended, or do you want to protect others?
::[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 22:16, 25 May 2007 (CEST)
:BTW, there ''are'' stand'''a'''rds in terms of spelling ^^

:I know for a fact children younger then ten visit this site.

:#Do you mean from {{OCF}}? (we're not indexed on Google yet)
:#All clear. But it's as I said. "Bleeping" at most.
:You can be the bleeper-in-chief if you want ^^

==Expansion==
it could use a bit of enlarging... and detailing... this site ain't a direct-copy of the game (even though it might seem so ;P), so... :)
[[User:EgonFreeman|EgonFreeman]] 1:33, 9 Jun 2006 (CEST)
:Well, feel free to contribute... that's how it works. All the detailing and enlarging is done by me ATM, but it's not supposed to stay that way...
:I know there are things like chapter summaries and character profiles missing, but... there are other priorities, including Oni-related ones :)
:I may be trimming the Main Page soon (it's a bit confusing at the moment). More images, less text. Links to namespaces and such.

==Proposal for New Main Page==
:Sorry, geyser, I should have discussed it first, but I thought, it's better to show than to tell, and if you didn't like it, you could revert... also, I copied because I didn't want to make you move things back if you wanted to revert (and because some things were getting moved to separate pages, not just moved together)...
:anyway, it sounds like you prefer the main items to be the only items on the front page, and each links to its own page, right?  "Making of", "Basic", etc. are the only level that shows here.  Is that right?
::[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 17:27, 16 January 2008 (CET)
#You could totally have "shown" here in the talk page, or (better) in your user namespace, with only a link to that new page design here, like: [[User:Iritscen/Main Page]]
#That's right. The main page should be a "portal to portals" with most of the details moved to those other portals. What we have now is something resembling a "site map".
:We'll see about reverting. The wiki is important, but I will sorta have to focus on modding this week, so I'm not sure I'll have the right inspiration to help you guys.
:As for the splitting stuff off to separate pages, please let's not have too much of that. Mini-pages actually make the wiki harder to browse and more annoying to read.
::[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 17:40, 16 January 2008 (CET)
Okay, what if the main page looks as it does now (but maybe a nicer arrangement of the titles), and then each of those links to some fairly large pages -- no mini-pages. If you don't like that, I will revert to original Main Page and go do something with the Images section... future changes will indeed be previewed in my namespace. Sorry, I forgot my wiki etiquette. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 17:47, 16 January 2008 (CET)
 
@Iritscen: That sucks. Would you please change that back and use a playground first as geyser had suggested it above? [[User:Ssg|Ssg]] 18:21, 16 January 2008 (CET)
 
:Well, since you asked nicely, sure, I'll do that. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 18:22, 16 January 2008 (CET)
 
Thank you. (Wow, now that was really a fast response. :-) I've nothing against a new main page, but it's not a good choice to replace a full working site with an "under construction" one. [[User:Ssg|Ssg]] 18:38, 16 January 2008 (CET)
:You're right, I was expecting a quick reply from geyser, but it seems he's moved on to something else. When he responded I was going to start fixing things up. You just happened to come along in the meantime. As he's pointed out, I should be doing things like that in my namespace; see User:Iritscen/MainPageProposal from now on.
:Anyway, we should still get a sense of what kind of page people want.  A very simple one with groups like "Making Of", "Basic Info", etc., or can we have subgroups like in the Proposal?  --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 18:55, 16 January 2008 (CET)
 
Oh... I'm sorry. Didn't know that it was already in work. However, your new main page looks good. IMO you can replace the main page.
 
One suggestion: Add an equals sign to every group and subgroup. F.e.: <nowiki>=Help= to ==Help==</nowiki>. IMO it looks better, because the page has not so much dividing lines. [[User:Ssg|Ssg]] 11:20, 17 January 2008 (CET)
 
:Okay, I did that, and agree it looks better. But Ssg, geyser does not agree that the page should be so long, which is why I want to arrive at a consensus before replacing what's on the Main Page. I think the page can be that long, but maybe he thinks it's unwieldy or intimidating.
 
:Also, I am trying to add this code at the top of the page:
 
:<nowiki><center><div style="font-size=162%;">Welcome to OniGalore, the wiki for all things Oni.</div>
:[[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}]] articles in total</center></nowiki>
 
:Two problems: 1. It does not change the font-size! and 2. The article count looks wrong. Look at the statistics page. There's a bajillion pages and it says only 90 are probably "real content". Is that true? --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 16:14, 17 January 2008 (CET)
