Revisiting some old ideas

What about just making a navigation box with links to skill category pages? Do we even really need a navbox? Can we make a box that interacts with the skill category pages in some way? We probably came this far without one because it wasn't really needed. That's what I think anyway. I mean, I go to the smash skill page, and at the bottom, there is already links to melee skills and combat skills. Also, on lexis's navigation boxes, color coding is cool and all, but those colors are just way too strong for a white background. Even if they are the in game colors, It's sort of painful for me to look at. I think black, white, blue, and gray should be the only acceptable colors for an integral part of the wiki. Unless we want to look like some crazy wikia instead of an actual professional looking wiki. What about just having the skills link on the side navigation box, that we already have, be a drop down menu for magic and range and such? Then on the front page we just have picture links to skills and story and such. I like those picture links that other wikis use. Mabi just has too many skills, and even more are probably coming. If anything, I'd prefer something like kapra's "original" navbox, or "1-C" styled like "original" would be neat, too. I'm not really concerned with "Oh no! The wiki users will have to click more than once! Such a travesty!" Things should be neat and easy to find like the form it is taking now. That's all that should matter since they are already actively looking for information anyway. One more click that would make navigating a box much cleaner and easier should be fine. It would certainly be better than one huge box that has everything in it at once, and it becomes a chore to look through.

The original was Khenta's design, I do not take credit for it.

To be honest, what I would think is ideal is if we:

• If we add a button at the bottom left of every page, like Mikaya has on her page, but with the purpose of scrolling the page up all the way (essentially a home button for devices lacking that feature). If you're still not getting it, scroll down on MapleStory's website page.
• If we create an expanding option for the sidebar which would let you explore subcategories and perhaps individual skill pages from the menu.

Both of which are outside of my scope.

That's a bad idea as anyone who touches that can force the page to be uneditable. I accidentally did that once.

Not to mention it takes up unnecessary space.

Who said anything about unprotecting the page?
