Content update

File:The sims wiki screenshot main page text.png
Screenshot of the main page with window reduced to menu+contents in width.

I'd like to suggest a few changes for 'Contents' on the main page:

  • Aspirations should be changed to Traits. Traits will get the Simology image and Simlogy will get a new one.
  • Custom content gets changed to Downloads and gets a new image.
  • Would also be cool to have Fast Lane Stuff on there.
  • Maybe the latest patch page aswell.

Added The Sims Wiki:Sandbox/Contents to display my proposed changes. Duskey(talk)(blog) 21:12, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
Additional: What's with the fixed width on the top text? (see screenshot on the right) Duskey(talk)(blog) 21:43, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
Additional: I added some suggestions to the news segment on the aforementioned The Sims Wiki:Sandbox/Contents page. Duskey(talk)(blog) 08:09, July 17, 2010 (UTC)
The blank space in the upper right corner is where Wikia put(s) ads. Any changes made should not be against Wikia's Terms of Use:

Not intentionally block, remove, or otherwise obstruct the proper functioning and view of advertisements by other users, including but not limited to changing or adding javascript or CSS changes to the Service that would prevent the proper display or function of advertisements.

Look at Help:Main page column tags.
I like the additions you have made to the news section. However I don't like that the layout will push down the Featured Article & Featured Media sections. As "featured" sections I believe they should be visible "above the fold". --a_morris (talk) 15:08, July 18, 2010 (UTC)
Ah yes the ads, that explains it. The news section wasn't actually meant to be made wider, I reduced the table width in the sandbox to reflect that. Duskey(talk) 16:50, July 18, 2010 (UTC)
Ok. That looks good. --a_morris (talk) 19:26, July 18, 2010 (UTC)
If it messes comepletely with users running low resolutions, we could always skip the flavor text of upcoming releases and just have the icon with the title. The patches list isn't that wide to begin with so I think it's ok. Does anyone have any comments on the the contents? Duskey(talk) 19:32, July 18, 2010 (UTC)
