Talk:Main Page

What should be here?
Having all the websites listed with logos is cool but won't work when there are more sites. It strikes me that there should be some overall information on the sites in WikiApiary on the front page. Any suggestions on relevant content for the front page? Thingles (talk) 11:28, December 31, 2012 (CST)

Further ideas:


 * 1) List of n most recent wikis added.
 * 2) List of most active wikis.
 * 3) List of wikis with most active user growth in last week.
 * 4) Summary statistics for some tags (namely Wikimedia? Others?)
 * 5) Summary information about Extensions in use.
 * 6) Expanded introduction.
 * 7) Call to action to register and add your own wikis.

 * + I go with this. Still a random list of n existing wikis like it is done now will be good too. --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 06:29, January 1, 2013 (CST)
 * When it comes to 2 and 3 Wikimedia wikis will probably have to be excluded since they will show up all the times. Since they run the "mothers" of all wikis ... --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 06:32, January 1, 2013 (CST)


 * Yeah. Probably create a concept that creates a large pool of sites that are filtered in some way and then select randomly from that. Thingles (talk) 08:05, January 1, 2013 (CST)


 * This will be an easy on. Did you already set up your cron? :) --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 08:14, January 1, 2013 (CST)

Tables are temporary
They look ugly. Will be replacing them with a templates output soon. Thingles (talk) 00:04, January 9, 2013 (CST)


 * I guess you are thinking of this. Cheers --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 14:29, January 9, 2013 (CST)

What about ...
... setting a fixed width for this website, something link 990px. I think this would make things easier especially with regard to mobile devices. Also we could avoid enormously long lines of text. --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 15:44, January 9, 2013 (CST)


 * I am not so sure about this any longer. Cheers --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 11:45, January 13, 2013 (CST)

Main revamp / 2
Heiya Jamie, I just added as a proposol some styling to the main page that support easier identification of the several sections. I used a also proposed WikiApiary colour scheme (FFAE00 - 100%, FFD88C - 45%, FFE4B2 - 30%, FFF0D8 - 15%) based on the colour which is used within the logo. I would also suggest to do a display:none for the title of main page. Cheers --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 11:45, January 13, 2013 (CST)


 * Thank you for the display:none --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 18:39, 14 January 2013 (UTC)


 * This blog uses some nice yellow coloured borders in WikiApiary style. I think we should change the colours from bluish to yellowish here to give it a more individual touch. --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 18:15, 15 January 2013 (UTC) PS Did I tell you that yellow is my favourite colour. :)


 * What about exchanging the smiley by a single bee as the favicon? Cheers --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 18:15, 15 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Great idea! favicon updated! (It's cached aggressively, so will likely take a while to show up naturally.) Thingles (talk) 01:53, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
