Another front page layout change

[Antvasima]

Hello.

I tried to change the front page layout a bit with a new template.

As you can see, the text headers look different now.

Does this look better, or should I change it back again?

 

[First_Witch]

Looks actually quite good and clear. I like it.

 

[Starter_Pack]

I like it. It makes the front page look a bit more official.

 

[DMUA]

Yeah, that's pretty good.

 

[Soldier_Blue]

I agree. It actually looks good and organized.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you for the input. Did you check through both of the tabbers?

 

[Ywlrvl]

Yeah, it looks better.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

This looks good to me

 

[Celestial_Pegasus]

Looks good

 

[CinnabarManx421]

Definitely an improvement, no complaints here!

 

[Soldier_Blue]

Thank you for the input. Did you check through both of the tabbers?

Yes.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thanks for the evaluation.

 

[Skalt711]

Any problems with images?

 

[Antvasima]

What do you mean?

 

[Skalt711]

Fixes that can be applied to the front page Media icons. I still have sources for them.

 

[Antvasima]

No, they currently seem fine. Thanks.

So far, The Real World seems to be one of these two uncategorized verses. Should we keep it as is? Same goes for mythology, the second one, because it can't be given a category from what Media category offers. The problem is that the Media sense is not applicable to the Real World at all.

 

[Skalt711]

Another uncategorized verse, or rather, multiverse that deserves its separate Media entity is folklore. It is independent enough to be another Media member.

 

[Antvasima]

I am not sure what you are suggesting regarding the 3 verse pages in question.

 

[Skalt711]

I'm questioning about their relation to Media categories that are given in the front page. Because they can't be given a category from what current Media entities can offer, I'm questioning about creating new Media categories: mythology and folklore. They are independent enough to have their own media categories. But what about the Real World? We can't give it a media sense at all! However, it is independent enough to not be categorized by any Media category.

 

[CinnabarManx421]

Mythology and Folklore would probably fit best in in a "The Real World" category since they originate from the real world and have real world connections. I can't imagine creating a whole new media category just for The Real World alone.

That would work the best. Thanks!

 

[Antvasima]

I don't think that we should have separate icons in the front page from the real world, mythology, and folklore alone. Single verse pages are not enough to qualify for their own categories.

Understandable. (Edit: This can be discussed in other thread) Also I'm sorry for derailing the thread.

Anyways, the front page looks great now!

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thanks.

For some reason I'm getting suspicious for the logotype's hue (a bit) and saturation mismatch among the usual set of colors being used in this wiki.

Edit: I'd like to change the hue and saturation of the logotype, so that it would match the set of colors being used there.

 

[Antvasima]

I used an eyedropper tool to get the colour for the new template, and I assume that Kavpeny's designer friend did the same for the logotype.

 

[Antvasima]

You were correct. The logotype uses #3d69b2, and the rest of the wiki uses #006caf.

I suppose that you can try to modify the logo, but it is hard to properly do so, given that the text uses shadows.

 

[Antvasima]

I have created another template patterned after the one in the Marvel wiki. It features basic statistic about our wiki:

https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Template:MainPage/Statistics

Should we insert that one into the front page as well, or use it to replace the poll?

 

[Antvasima]

I have inserted it into the front page on a trial basis, but will remove it if the community disagrees.

 

[Antvasima]

I'd like to change the hue and saturation of the logotype, so that it would match the set of colors being used there.

On second thought, I would prefer to keep the logotype the way it is.

Would you be willing to change the front page category icons to use #3d69b2 as a background colour instead?

No problem. I'll do it at weekends since that school is starting for me.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thank you very much for the help. After you are done, I can hopefully update all or most of the other colours as well.

 

[CinnabarManx421]

And thus, the wiki front page was pimped out like a lowrider.

 

[Antvasima]

I have now updated the front page colours (except for the category icons) to match the logo colour.

Do you think that this is a better theme for the wiki, or should I change it back?

 

[Antvasima]

Personally speaking, it seems a bit moody for my taste.

 

[CinnabarManx421]

Looks fine to me.

Also, what does active editors mean?

 

[Antvasima]

It means how many accounts that have been active during the last month, or so I think.

 

[Antvasima]

Anyway, to me the old theme gave a more upbeat and happy impression. Perhaps the change is unnecessary?

 

[Antvasima]

Perhaps Skalt711 could use #006caf as a background colour for the category icons instead?
