(A new take on the homepage - changed the content boxes entirely, so they should be dynamic now. No more images of the day-bleh! Good riddance, if you ask me.)

==Collaboration(s) of the Week==
The current standards of guide presentation are showing their age. StrategyWiki improves upon these weaknesses:
 
* <big>''One game, one guide.''</big> All editors work together on one unified guide, resulting in a higher quality end result.
* [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]] is one of the finest videogames ever produced by Nintendo. It's also an adventure game that many of us are very familiar with. This is why we've chosen it to be our first big project. We can experiment with the "book format" articles with this game, and this article will serve as a future reference point.
* <big>''Guides are always editable.''</big> If authors disappear their work can still be improved upon by others.
 
* <big>''The death of plain text.''</big> The powerful MediaWiki engine makes fully illustrated multi-page guides possible.
* [[Mario Kart DS]] needs a little cleaning and expansion. It will likely be left in the "single page format" since it is not a quest and has no real spoilers.  
* [[StrategyWiki:What makes StrategyWiki different|Read more about what makes StrategyWiki different]] or [[Zelda: Ocarina of Time/The Beginning|check out an example of our system in action]].
 
* StrategyWiki's policy itself must undergo collaboration in this early stage, and therefore we ask you to voice your opinions in our [[StrategyWiki:Community Issues|Community Issues]] section.
