The Sims Wiki talk:Administrative projects/Layout and navigation

First Steps
Well, it's about time to get this project off the ground! Before we can really get to work, though, we need to settle a few things.

First off, we need to pick a project leader. If you all feel comfortable with it, we can take the role on a rotating basis every few months. Otherwise, feel free to nominate a project leader. This person will basically be the go-to person for the project, so it's not a lot of responsibility.

Second thing, we should set down some goals for this project. Since this project is somewhat general, and has to do more with upkeep than with major changes, I think the following goals might suit us:


 * 1) Determine an ideal article layout (in consultation with the Manual of Style).
 * 2) Ensure that all pages have categories (see Special:UncategorizedPages) and continue to be categorized
 * 3) Propose changes to the MoS as necessary to ensure a unified article style.
 * 4) Improve wiki navigation through portals, the main page, navigation templates, and the topnav menu.

Feel free to add more goals, or to discuss the one's I've proposed.

I can't wait to get to work with you all! See you around! --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 17:01, July 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm very excited for this project, but I prefer the navigation (categorizing) part of it :D! I think LostInRiverview would be an excellent leader of this project so he's my first option ;)! Thank you. -- Guilherme Guerreiro [[File:Thanks rose.png]] ( talk here ) 17:09, July 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey guys, sorry for hovering over you unexpectedly but I have noticed that this is the only AP that currently doesn't have a leader. If LiR accepts Guilherme's nomination then you may as well declare that LiR is your project leader (since I'm unsure of when Monster will comment this page). Thanks! 19:57, August 10, 2011 (UTC)

Template:Sims
As an inital project, I think we should take a look at Sims. That template is located on most (if not all) of the game pages. However, I think the template is far too large and generalized to be of any use. What does everyone else think? --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 17:26, August 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * It seems the template is a bit too large. Maybe we could put just the main series sorted by base of game and every other console versions? Thank you. -- Guilherme Guerreiro [[File:Thanks rose.png]] ( talk here ) 17:28, August 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * If we had generation portals, we could make the template link to those portals... I think we'd be the project responsible for creating those, so we can keep it as an idea. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 17:31, August 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * It seems a good idea. We could link each base of game to the portal where we could had a section listing expansions and stuff packs, could this resolve the problem? -- Guilherme Guerreiro [[File:Thanks rose.png]] ( talk here ) 17:34, August 6, 2011 (UTC)
