{{ShardofTruth|time=20:18, 7 July 2014 (UTC)|talk=The new main page looks great, so congrats to everyone involved and especially to you KeybladeSpyMaster. Two things though: Maybe the Player, Chirishii and the Fortellers should be included in the KHX template as characters and secondly we should probably redesign the game symbols to make them look a bit prettier or at least remove the white background. Soxra did someting similiar with the images at the Keyhole before he retired ([http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/File:KH2_icon.png here]), what do you think?}} | {{ShardofTruth|time=20:18, 7 July 2014 (UTC)|talk=The new main page looks great, so congrats to everyone involved and especially to you KeybladeSpyMaster.

I currently haven't experimented with the colors yet, but I have played with the SEIWA template. On smaller monitors, the triple columns significantly compressed the look (as seen [http://i.imgur.com/2AkUfiQ.png here], making it look broken and awkward. After a little modification, I got [http://i.imgur.com/awloR6c.png this] look on the same scale monitor. It both keeps continuity and reduces space consumption. The downside, I suppose, would be that it makes the appearance more "vertical," if that makes sense, which makes it blend a little too much. More or less, I think this version or one similar should be implemented. Additionally, I think coloring the logo image itself red would be of benefit to the page, as the grey brushstroke on the gray background is very flat-looking. {{User:Obitus/sig/temp}} 06:02, 9 July 2014 (UTC) | |||
'''Edit: 06:47, 9 July 2014 (UTC)'''<br/> | |||
So, my color testing is done. The version I would like to put forth is [[User:Obitus/colortest|here]]. I added a lighter background to each content area to make them pop more and gave a three-point gradient to the portal area so it stands out even more. The gradient seems like a bit much, though. | |||
For the sake of easy comparison, [http://i.imgur.com/mFqf1ed.png here] is the current page versus my current revision ([http://i.imgur.com/31F0BxO.png with] or [http://i.imgur.com/vYfqC16.png without] the gradient). Highlighting the backgrounds makes the content pop more, methinks, though, again, I don't know about the gradient. | |||
The unevenness in the example images is due mainly to modifications I made in the templates for the sake of space saving. {{User:Obitus/sig/temp}} 06:47, 9 July 2014 (UTC) | |||

{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=15:01, 9 July 2014 (UTC)|TRON=I really like the changes, except the gradient. Perhaps we should not do a gradient as a background? Anyone else?}} | |||
:Agreed. The changes are good except the gradient. {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 15:14, 9 July 2014 (UTC) | |||
{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=05:10, 11 July 2014 (UTC)|TRON=Regarding the links that were added back, I think they should be removed (and I deliberately removed them) because those links are in Traverse Town and on the Navigation Bar, and since the point is to emphasize Traverse Town, I find them redundant now. Not to mention the welcome banner looks cleaner. However, I'd like to know what everyone else thinks.}} | |||
====Clean Up of the Month=== | |||
{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 12:41, 21 July 2014 (UTC)|default=Should we give the CUotM more attention by replacing the "There are projects that need your help! Come to the Third District!" part of the Traverse Town box with the latest Clean Up instead? Then, we can add at the end, "Visit the rest of the Third District to other projects and more find more ways to help out". Thoughts?}} | |||
==The Mobile Home Page== | |||
{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 12:41, 21 July 2014 (UTC)|default=Porple has said that we can design an alternate main page specifically for the mobile view (see [[Forum:Mobile Issues]]). At the moment, the mobile main page is a whole load of scrolling down bland text and resized images. What should we do to change this? I have no concrete ideas at the moment; all I'm thinking is we need to reduce the amount of content to make the home page more compact. Thoughts?}} | |||
:Not sure about you guys, but when I'm using the Wiki on my phone, which isn't very often, I'm looking to see what edits have been made/checking out articles. That in mind, to me, I'm up for some information clipping for the mobile version. Trinity Archives and some type of variation to our game portals for information on both the Wiki and games. {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 02:44, 22 July 2014 (UTC) | |||
