Forum - New front page

Overview > Mabinogi World Wiki > Wiki Projects > New front page
[#8]

We're working on a new front page!! There's not going to be any sitemap or categorical links really because that's all in the side panel anyway. We're replacing it with a utility page instead, mainly, though it will still have the wiki introduction and eventually I would like to have some sort of "starting out" tutorials for newbies, afterwards.

What we have so far: User:Kadalyn/Sandbox/Front

Yai is working on some more styling for it currently. <3 Anyone is welcome to contribute but please mention in this thread if you want to, first.

You are welcome to provide feedback and stuff here!

Known bugs:

  • Timezone issue in real-time rotate/select (countdowns for real-time things may not show up and real times may be off generally)
  • Sometimes moment.tz doesn't load in time (timers/weather don't show up)
  • Sometimes timers for weather bests don't show up
  • Memory leak somewhere in widgets.js I think

If that's the case, after all the more important stuff are done, can we reorganize the links on the sidepanel? Adding things like Mainstream Quests, Partners, etc. Also reorganizing the bar because right now it's not in alphabetical order or grouped by type of content (Shadow Missions are at the bottom, far away from Dungeons). Also Maybe we could merge the Uladh and Iria into one link to Category:Erinn, or add Belvast to it but I think it'd be better to just do Erinn.

Some wikis I've seen go into finer details when you hover over one of them, like hovering over Enchants would pop up a list of links to all the enchant rank pages. I'm not sure what type of wiki plugins they utilize though.

Yeah we can organize it, I think categorical is better than alphabetical imo. I agree with using Erinn, also. I don't think submenus are really necessary for this, though.

Also I think having upgrades is silly since going to an equipment page for an upgrade seems more straightforward.

Isn't it possible to have some sort of "expandable" menu there?

Like:

► The World of Erinn
► Enchants
► Monsters

Then when you click The World of Erinn it opens like (ignore the underscores because the forums don't show normal spaces):

▼ The World of Erinn
__► Uladh Continent
__► Iria Continent
__► Belvast
► Enchants
► Monsters

Maybe wiki sidebars don't support that though, idk.

It's possible with an extension, I just think it's ugly.

I don't think an expanding category thing would work either, it'd be too clunky.

Also I think the front page could use a little news "feed" that's just like, the latest three main update threads on the wiki, links back to things like this and the shadow mission update thing, etc.

To clarify, Rydian had the idea for a little tracker that would list the top three posts/threads in the forum.

I feel it should be restricted to announcements only, lest it get flooded with I HAZ KEWL PROJECT threads and etc.

Like the event notification scroller in game (but faster)? I have one of those half-done, kind of gave up on it since we moved the events to a box instead, but it might be able to be repurposed for that. Will have to think of how best to grab the threads, maybe there's a standardized change log access...

Posted by Kadalyn (administrator) on 23 February 2016 at 11:49.

Doesn't have to be a scroller, a little mini news section listing the latest three major things admins stuck there would work to let people know of upgrades/changes and junk.

I would like rydia to finish his front page =] it was Perfect.. i still use it for the weather because of the way its categorized. It's true genius!

Well timers should be working now. Having Yai design a good front page now. <3 Let me know if there's any funkiness left with timers. We do know the boss timer times are stuck on server time but will deal with it later. Example timers are here.
