Does the main page of the wiki need a makeover?

Post by Gareth_O'Flaherty »

The news section of the main page on the wiki appears to be updated on an infrequent basis (once or twice a year with events and so on), and might give the appearance of 'not much happening' in the world of the Dragon to the casual visitor to the site; when in fact there is an awful lot happening in terms of the ever expanding archive, drivewire and peripherals, new wiki articles and even new home brew games (FlagonBird, take a bow). Maybe the main page could be updated on a more regular basis to reflect these key updates?

What do others think?

Gareth.
Got my first Dragon 32 in 1983 (where does the time go??).

+1 from me (Admin) as I no longer have the time.....

Step forward volunteers - let me know if you can edit those parts or if I need to figure out how to grant extra permissions.

I'd volunteer to replace the phpBB logo on the forum header, and add a link to the main (wiki) page, but this is maybe more difficult permission-wise?

EDIT: The below logo was scaled to 51 pixels height to match the previous logo image.

Didn't think the forum would rescale the logo into a dachshund. Here is a version padded to 149x52.

Also, maybe the text "archive.worldofdragon.org" in the banner could link to the wiki?

By the way, is it only me or do the infoboxes on the wiki look weird?

No, it's not only you, Rob. Maybe a changed template during an upgrade? Haven't figured it out yet.
