:So, you're saying we shouldn't use the "templates" for this like we normally do for the featured articles? I mean, I guess we could, but I don't particularly see a problem with using the templates. I don't think we did that in the past, but oh well. This would be less coding on the main page, plus, if we decide to do the Template:Main Page idea mentioned on the IRC last week, this will make things easier. Just my thoughts, though. {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 00:35, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

::The main page doesn't use the template because there's not enough space for the entire Cleanup excerpt. That's why there's just the picture and the "This month is the image renovation" thing. The template is only used on the hub page currently. What was the Template:Main Page idea, can I ask? {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 00:44, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
:::We can't use the Template:Main Page idea, 'cuz my understanding tells me it'd mess up with the mobile Main Page (unless we make a separate version, like was proposed). The idea is essentially make all the boxes as a template and then use the template instead of coding each box. [[User:Obitus|Obitus]] suggested it, and made a draft [[User:Obitus/mpbox|here]].
:::Here's what I'm thinking: We implement the Template:Main Page, create a separate Main Page for the mobile version like Porple mentioned, and we could add the Cleanup, but I don't know where. As for the templates related to the Cleanup, I think we should model it like the Featured User: Use one template for the Main Page (or the Hub in Traverse Town, wherever it will go) and use a Previous Cleanup page to put the previous ones. {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 00:49, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
::::What will be the actual benefit of the Template:Main Page, though? Most of the coding for the main page is already fairly compacted and neat; the FU and FA already have their own templates too. Also if we're giving CotM its own box, we can replace it with the Countdown (since it's a temporary feature) and the Quote of the Moment (we already agreed to remove that anyway). Should I add it now? {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 19:03, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
:::::I'm playing with the template in my Main Page draft, the idea behind it is to remove all the formatting code that is repeated throughout the page and instead use a template so that the formatting code is only created once. As for a box on the main page, I was thinking that the Cleanup was fine in Traverse Town (plus, it gives reason to go to Traverse Town). The countdown is temporary, so I think it should just stay there until December. Again, I personally like the Quote, but if I'm outnumbered, go ahead and remove it. I'll find somewhere to put it (maybe I'll just use it on my own userpage). {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 19:16, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
Once the countdown is finished, there'll be more blank space on the right column and there's already some empty space at the bottom of the left column, so there should be space to add a Cleanup box. If we do decide to keep it at Traverse Town, could we do anything to make it stand out more? Maybe a darker background or border colour to make it distinct from the rest of Traverse Town? {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 19:25, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
:That could work, too. Simply push SEIWA down and put it just above, right? If we keep it in Traverse Town, we could change the color, if we wanted to, or add a border. That isn't a problem. {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 19:55, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
::I've got [[User:KeybladeSpyMaster/Gadget Lab/Project Page 7|this]] and [[User:KeybladeSpyMaster/Gadget Lab/Project Page 1|this]]. What do you think? (Also, on the Main Page draft, hover over the Kingdom Hearts X logo, it's part of something else I'd like to propose that I just figured out, but that's just a taste) {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 06:26, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
:::For the Main Page, rather than using the magic broom image shouldn't we use the Picture image relating to the current Cleanup so that attention is given to the actual projects themselves? Also with the Traverse Town link, it's probably better to say "Find additional information at the [[KHWiki:Traverse Town/3rd District/Secret Waterway|Secret Waterway]] of [[KHWiki:Traverse Town|Traverse Town]]" since it links directly to the relevant page. <small>P.S: Great main page colours for the 2.5 theme :P</small> {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 13:33, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
::::How is that now? I think what we could do to even the columns is switch the Featured Media with Cleanup of the Month, but I don't know if we want to do that. {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 17:04, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
:::::It's perfect. Switching the FM with the Cleanup would also mean that all the Featured Content is grouped into one column so I'm fine with that. {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 21:05, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
I don't really have too much to add. Everything so far looks good to me. I don't know how to take the color fading for the proposed KHX idea, though...That fade to black seems a bit too much, to me. Oh, and there is a misspelling on your version of the cleanup of the month Traverse Town page: "om." That's about it. {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 00:08, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
:Then if everyone is agreed, should we add the Cleanup to the main page fully? {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 22:46, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
:Might as well. {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 23:10, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
Okay. Updating the main page. {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 23:26, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
