How to edit sidebar links?

How do we edit sidebar links on the left? I'm trying to figure out how to add additional links under Content and Community Content. Can these sections be linked to categories? --Sayaka 17:17, 18 January 2011 (CST)

A sysop has to edit MediaWiki:Sidebar and yes, it can link even to categories. -–89.24.197.43 11:28, 18 January 2011 (CST)
Sysop here, how do you want it to be? --Homerun-chan 18:43, 18 January 2011 (CST)

Design and visuals

Design of the main page: any wishes? Or should it stay the way it is? --Madokaanon 17:26, 18 January 2011 (CST)

As stated on /a/, I think we should remove at least one of the thumbnails and put a big banner instead. I'm okay with staying with the original skin as long as the homepage doesn't look too boring (but not too messy either) --Homerun-chan 17:45, 18 January 2011 (CST)
How about something like this as a banner? Yeah I didn't put much effort in it and the size is also wrong since this is just and example, if we take something like that, we should remove the characters thumbnail as we have the characters in our banner. --Madokaanon 17:57, 18 January 2011 (CST)
That madoka_logo needs to go, or at least not be positioned where it is. It just looks like clutter next to the character shot. –881.178.128.41 18:40, 18 January 2011 (CST)
Yeah I like it. It's colorful and stuff so I think it might look good. May lack some text though --Homerun-chan 18:43, 18 January 2011
Needs more runes. --Nvm 19:25, 18 January 2011 (CST)
Its 6:03am, I'll do a layout for how I think the wiki should look tomorrow, not sure about the suggested image for a banner, its too rainbow. --Sayaka 13:04, 18 January 2011 (CST)
The madoka small banner[1] would look good in the bottom right corner. See [2] if it interests you, sysop --Mic2070 19:02, 18 January 2011 (CST)

Refactoring the facts-speculations-finds pages

Some anons suggested that the theories page looks like a unattracting blob of text. Some other mentionned that it would be nice to be able to speculah'te over the trivia and observations. Yet another (or a samefag, that's not the point) started the Finds section because his content didn't fit anywhere else. So I think it's time to remodel all this a bit. How about this:

  • We rename the Trivia section to "Facts and Observations" or something of the like. On that page, we make a section per episode, then one subsection per observation. This subsection has the fact itself (matching with a pic if relevant), and a subsubsection where we write observations and speculations as one-liners, just like the Character pages. We should also make a visual difference between pure speculation and pure observations
  • The texts in Shaftspeak are posted on the Runes page (or a subpage). For each interresting bit of text, we post a screencap, a translation, and observations/speculations. Same as before, one-liners are enough.
  • The Theories page hence only has the general theories, the ones that combines pieces of speculations together. I think theories about Kamijou, for example, could be moved somewhere else (in the Characters page for instance)
  • We can delete the Finds page since it's redundant with the rest.

How does that sound to you? --Homerun-chan 22:10, 18 January 2011 (CST)

So by your suggestion, we gonna have
  1. Facts and Observations as a merge between current Trivia and Finds
  2. Speculah:Runes for runes deciphering for each episode
  3. Speculah:Theories for general theories (move all Faust, etc. stuff into F&O)
I have no problem up to this point, but I don't think character speculation should belongs in characters page. They should stay in one place, possibly sub section inside the Facts and Observation. --0x99 16:39, 18 January 2011 (CST)
no problem as long as the content/the time i have invested is not destroyed P.S do you write the signature manually ? --Saveol2009 22:56, 18 January 2011
Just write four tilde after your comment and you'll be fine. --0x99 17:00, 18 January 2011 (CST)
