Regarding front page

Fragment of a discussion from Talk:Wiki Home

We're planning to revamp and minimize the front page relatively soon. Feel free to dump your thoughts here.

Also yeah, we should switch that logo...hm~ maybe the middle one.

Thank you.

If you guys are planning to revamp the front page, then I recommend Starting with the General Information, its almost entirely full of "Miscellaneous" Sections. You should really use it for actual general information, like the categories lingering in the bottom half of the front page. Enchants, Production, Species, Pets and partners are all general information that should just redirect to their own category page.

The actual Miscellaneous section should become its own, things like Current bugs, OST information, and other Non in-game content.

Basically everything you just mentioned is linked on the left menu navigation. Is there a reason to have those category links multiple times?

Saiyr (talk)10:10, 25 September 2013

Yes, because the main page also tends to serve as a directory too and there is no reason not to leave important category links on the front page (Why cant we have useful links on both?). However we don't need the information on the category page cluttering up the front page. Why do you think the front page equipment section is awkward looking? The Misc. Items sub bullet isn't related to equipment at all. I also don't see why we need to list enchants F to rank A on the main page when the category page serves that exact purpose. Things like that.

Your words seem to be agreeing with my stance, but your wording seems to imply disagreement.

Why not put all those lists in collapsible boxes so they are easy to get to but don't clutter things up when you don't need them? Just make the main category headings the titles of the boxes. Each box is closed by default, and opens when you click on it.

I tried that...it looks very awkward...

Better than removing the lists,

No it is not because:

  1. It looks a bit cluttered and awkward for new people.
  2. It's not a good replacement for minimization
  3. Some people like to see everything available for ctrl+F on the front page.
  4. It's just a bad way to hide things and is inconvenient for people :/

I don't see how it's more inconvenient than removing things from the page.
