==Changes to Main Page due to fluid layout==
As I mentioned [[Forum:Fluid_layout_preparation_thread|here]], this section is intended to discuss individual changes we might need to make to the main page in order to prepare for the roll-out of fluid layouts.
First, there's the issue of the right column. The column width is shrinking from 330px to 300px. So, we'll need to make sure all our current content displays correctly at that new smaller width. The left column (the main section of the page) will no longer have a fixed width, but will vary depending on the display resolution of the reader's monitor or browser window. The right column width remains at a static 300px, but if the main page is viewed with a lower resolution display (such as one found on a tablet), the right column is actually moved below the left column. This is a problem, considering we have some important information and links currently in the right column, such as the Wiki's 'About us' section.
Another matter to consider is the main page's slider gallery. The width of images used in the gallery is and will remain fixed at 670 px wide. On larger displays, this will create a very large area of empty space on either side of the slider image. Unfortunately there is no way to fix this presently, so it might be worth considering removing the slider image gallery altogether.
That's all I've got right now -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 04:54, November 19, 2013 (UTC)

==TSP on the main page==
I feel that The Sim's Pen as it is right now, just being on the Fanon Portal, it isn't getting as much attention as I'd like. The Fanon section seems to be dying out just as quickly as before TSP was introduced. I think it would be a good idea to take one step further and try putting TSP on the main page in the fanon section alongside the other two news lists. ―'''[[User:WikiBuilder1147|<font color="green">Wiki</font>]][[Message Wall:WikiBuilder1147|<font color="blue">Builder</font>]][[User blog:WikiBuilder1147|<font color="lime">1147</font>]]''' <sup>([http://historyfiction.wikia.com/wiki/User:WikiBuilder1147 Infinite Histories] • [http://galactic-crucibles.wikia.com/wiki/User:WikiBuilder1147 Galactic Crucibles] • [http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/User:WikiBuilder1147 The Sims Wiki] • [http://hallows-maleficent.wikia.com/wiki/User:WikiBuilder1147 Hallows Maleficent] • '''[[Special:Contributions/WikiBuilder1147|<font color="#006400">Why I'm here in the first place</font>]])'''</sup> 12:12, September 7, 2014 (UTC)

==Main page redesign==
The discussion has been dead for a little while now, but I'd like to bring it up again. Recently I took the liberty of creating an alternative design for the main page, which reorganises the features on the page based on their function, for example "Forums", "News", etc. This design also has the benefit of having the ability to facilitate the presence of The Sim's Pen adequately. I furthermore believe that this new design looks much more unique to TSW, as the headings have a special, Sims-themed font. I'd appreciate it if this issue comes to a definitive conclusion through this thread. You can view the design as a whole [[User:WikiBuilder1147/Main page design proposal|here]], and the individual components of the design [[User:WikiBuilder1147/Sandbox/Archive 1|here]]. ―'''[[User:WikiBuilder1147|<font color="green">The</font>]] [[Message Wall:WikiBuilder1147|<font color="blue">Tim</font>]] [[User blog:WikiBuilder1147|<font color="lime">Man</font>]]''' <sup>([http://historyfiction.wikia.com/wiki/User:WikiBuilder1147 Infinite Histories] • [http://galactic-crucibles.wikia.com/wiki/User:WikiBuilder1147 Galactic Crucibles] • [http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/User:WikiBuilder1147 The Sims Wiki] • [http://hallows-maleficent.wikia.com/wiki/User:WikiBuilder1147 Hallows Maleficent] • '''[[Special:Contributions/WikiBuilder1147|<font color="#006400">Why I'm here in the first place</font>]])'''</sup> 11:17, September 29, 2014 (UTC)

{{Od|:::::}}
I edited the wiki main page to incorporate this proposed design, and then reverted that edit. So, we now have a version of the page which displays everything at the correct width - [http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/The_Sims_Wiki?oldid=631086 see here].
Now, my own personal take on the design:
;Pros
*''Good balance:'' The length of the right and left columns is very close; when considering that non-registered users will also see an advertisement in the right column, the balance is pretty much spot on.
*''Can accommodate future additions:'' the width of the modules right now means additional modules could be added without seriously disrupting the overall flow of the page. For instance, if we were to adopt a new feature, we could easily reduce the width on the Featured Article module to accommodate it.
;Cons
*''Font:'' I'm not sold on the new header fonts; they just seem too childish. If we're looking for a unique font, why not just use the same font that we use for the wiki logo? The downside to that is that you'd either have to re-create the font or find someone else who already has, but I think it would ultimately look much better than the one being used. But, if it were a choice between using the new header fonts and using the old fonts, I'd choose the old one.
*''Top banner:'' I personally really like the large blue banner that exists at the top of the current main page. While I'm not saying it needs to be recreated on the new page, I think there should be ''something'' in its place. If nothing else, the particular header used there should at the very least be a larger size than the headers further down the page.
*''Spacing:'' This is a minor issue, but I don't like the large gaps between the different sections.
As a final note, I think the forums module needs to be redone. The reason I didn't list this under cons is because it's just copying what we already have. So my complaint is that our current Forums module sucks. I'd love to see an idea on how to change it, because I don't like what we have now.
In any case, those are my §0.02 - '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 14:28, September 29, 2014 (UTC)
:Just a tip - you can also use the [[w:c:dev:HideRail|HideRail]] script to optionally hide the annoying Wikia rail on the right, which should make editing the main page in a user sandbox a bit easier. --I am [[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] [[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF"><sup>Talk to me!</sup></span>]] [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F"><sub>See what I have done</sub></span>]] 21:19, September 29, 2014 (UTC)

:TBH I'm still not sold on the font choice. I know I personally would prefer to just stick with a standard font. If nothing else, the font color should be made to match the green and blue used in the header bars. For the text within the banner, white lettering would work best. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 04:27, September 30, 2014 (UTC)
::So, I'm looking at {{t|forumsinterface}} and I've got to say, I'm very impressed. Is it possible, though, to have a text description next to each image? The reason I mention this is that the images themselves don't make it obvious what they're linked to, and people might not think to hover over the images to see the link or the popup text. I think you could have words on either side of the circle, three on the left and three on the right. In any event, it's better than the current design. I'm also not sure if it might warrant being moved to the right margin instead, since it now appears narrower. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 06:24, September 30, 2014 (UTC)

:::If Events is added back in, it should be in the right column.
