While Looking at the site (The navboxes in particular). I realised that this site could use some changes. So what I wanna do is the following:
*Create a new Front page (Naming it something like /NewMainpage (can be deleted after I'm done).
Tell me what you think and if you're okay with it I'll start with the proces. --[[User:Fighterbitsj|Fighterbitsj]] 23:03, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
:Hey, I forgot to reply to you too :)
:First off, always create test pages on your user page, like <nowiki>[[User:Fighterbitsj/Main_Page]]</nowiki>. Good idea is also to link to it from your user page so you don't forget that it exists. :) Secondly, I'm not really looking to make a main page overhaul, unless you have something spectacular in mind. This is why I thought just doing a quick sketch in MS Paint or whatever to let me get an idea of where you were going was smart. Other than that, It's really only "Key Pages" that's planned to be changed now when most articles are presented in the top menus.
:Navboxes are really meant to be properly redesigned using both parsing and some simple java scripts, so we can use "tabs" and the like. I'm not sure spending time on a redesign in the interim is a project well spent time on. Same there though, if you have an idea that makes tabbing of navigation obsolete, I'd love to hear/see it. Make a <nowiki>[[User:Fighterbitsj/Navbox]]</nowiki> page so we can see what you're thinking.
:What we REALLY need though is improving lore pages. Regardless of if you know much about Diablo lore or not, it's usually not somethign that is required. Just open one of the manuals, look at a section, make sure any relevant words are linked up, and that any of those links include the info of that section. almost always there's a lot to add, be it new characters, locations or the like. You can also check the [[http://www.diablowiki.net/Special:Wantedpages Wantedpages]], and add articles that way.
:A second thing we really need is images. Loads of pages, like [[Lut Gholein]] could use mroe descriptive imagery, and especially the [[skill]]s. All skills should have at least one image on them each.
:So, basically, show us your ideas before you start spending loads of time into coding a main page or a new navbox, and let everyone comment on it, then go. In the meanwhile, there's loads of other work needing to be done in the wiki that is just as important. :) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 13:45, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
