StrategyWiki:Community Portal/Layout suggestions

A new default skin is being developed for the StrategyWiki site. If you have any suggestions for beneficial features, or complaints with the current set up that could be changed, please feel free to comment here.

Suggestions

 * Move either of the Watch/Unwatch links to the same location, either in the toolbox, or on top.
 * Done. -- 07:56, 28 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Highlight the Talk link on each page to show if it has been created or not.
 * If you really want to find out, just look at the bar at the bottom of your browser, if it says "&action=edit" after the name then it doesn't exist--Rocky [[Image:Rally-X_Rock.png|25px]]  ( Talk Contributions ) 10:22, 5 March 2007 (CST)
 * PHP changes have been made; just some CSS changes needed now. -- 07:56, 28 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Will we be able to add it to the new skin css here or won't it work??--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 08:03, 28 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Yes, as I presume the new skin's PHP will be based off BlueCloud's. -- 11:22, 28 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Um, I'm not planning on having AutumnLeaf actually become a true skin, it's only a few CSS changes to BlueCloud. Anyway, that would be easy to implement there anyway. As for you normal BlueCloud-ers: you might want to look at CSS Pak 1. -- 12:28, 28 August 2007 (CDT)
 * CSS changes have been made based on Ryan's CSS Pak. -- Prod (Talk) 22:52, 28 August 2007 (CDT)
 * A better way of doing ToC's (see here for one idea (still disputed))
 * I think this has been decided against. -- Prod (Talk) 22:52, 28 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Might be just my computer, but links don't change color after being visited.
 * I personally don't like links to change after I visit them. Maybe we can implement an option under preferences? -- Duke  Ruckley  16:19, 10 January 2007 (CST)
 * Links changing colours are supposed to be a major thing for web usability. Getting them to work one way or the other isn't difficult (check my css) but I think default should be colour changing. -- Prod (Talk) 16:30, 10 January 2007 (CST)
 * Prod should've implemented this. -- 07:56, 28 August 2007 (CDT)
 * I personally don't like that green-ish color that Prod has in his css though, but like I said above, this is also fixed in CSS Pak 1. -- 12:28, 28 August 2007 (CDT)
 * The colour you picked is far too similar to the standard blue, and the a.new purple. I'm open to suggestions (DrBob suggested a brownish colour). -- Prod (Talk) 22:52, 28 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Implement a min-width
 * Have the navigation stuff on the left side of the page stay stationary (I know they did this with Monobook, but I can't find it anymore :P).
 * What about a most visited page for every user to find the pages that they're working on? It seems a bit wrong adding all of them to your user page.
 * Just add the pages in question to your watchlist, then you can go to them whenever when you click "My Watchlist" on the top. --Ryan SchmidtTalk - Contribs 08:44, 17 May 2007 (CDT)
 * This would have to be changed on MediaWiki itself. You might want to open a bug. -- Prod (Talk) 22:52, 28 August 2007 (CDT)
 * I don't like the dotted line that comes with the third-level headings:

Like this
I think it would look tidier as just the heading, like on Wikipedia. --RamonSalazar 14:37, 26 February 2007 (CST)
 * add in h3 { border-top: none !important; } to your BlueCloud.css to hid that bar. -- 12:28, 28 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Can we have the ammount of views a page has in the new skin (only in monobook at the moment)--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 12:00, 18 March 2007 (CDT)
 * A drop down menu with quick navigation to many of the most popular systems. -- Prod (Talk) 17:46, 2 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Be print-friendly (implement a printable version of the skin)
