Talk:Main Page

Proposal 1

This is a general redesign proposal for the navigation found on the main page. It attempts to provide the broadest amount of information in the least amount of links. Most of the sub-article links have been removed. Even the external links have been removed as they are listed in the community portal. --Lint 20:58, 28 May 2006 (BST)

Wow, I've probably visited the Main Page 500 times, and it seems like half of those I went straight through to one of the following pages:

Camps

So I was disappointed to see the Camps gradually shrinking and shrinking and disappearing entirely from the Main Page. If I'm heading into a foreign village, I need to be able to get into the Resource Hut & get what I need and move on efficiently. No other pages have such immediate and constant utility. --Tycho44 05:10, 5 June 2006 (BST)

Yeah, I understand how useful those direct links were. But when I was removing sub-articles I wasn't sure where exactly I should draw the line so I removed them all. I'm generally fine with readding the camps back in underneath the Locations link or create a new menu section. What is your stance on the links to the Bug and Suggestion related articles? --Lint 05:27, 5 June 2006 (BST)

I think the camps should probably be added again, though I like the rest of Lint's changes. But instead of putting the camps back in a list, why not mention them all in the game description (which already names the native camps and links to them)? — Elembis (talk) 05:32, 5 June 2006 (BST)
