Talk:Main Page/January-June 2010

Noob To This, But
Just a heads up, the Main page isn't viewed the best in Google Chrome. Was just wondering if it's just me or if it's actually Google Chrome or the way the page is designed. Maybe other people have been having the same problem? Just wondering thanks for your time. Tygerq 09:49, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I just pulled it up in Chrome and it looks fine to me, exactly the same as in Firefox at 1280x1024 resolution. --Rainith 10:25, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Make sure your browser is above 1024x768 res, and in full screen and try again :) --rawr [[Image:User_rawr_Sig_Image.png|18px]]  10:28, 2 January 2010
 * Same as Rainith, both Firefox and Chrome are exactly the same (except I chose Firefox to have the images blocked with AdBlock), but I'm 1280x800 on this laptop. ~Celestia 10:29, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

 * I'm on a netbook.... and using Chrome... and it looks pretty much the same as on my desktop. some shrunken pages, but that depends on how much crap there is on it - Stimpson J Kat  14:58, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Holiday decorations
Since the event is over should the decorations have to be removed?--78.104.112.200 12:47, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure it's over yet, I still seem to be getting shards. Until they stop, there here to stay I guess. 124.190.27.5 10:40, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
 * AFAIK, the decorations in towns have been brought down. Not sure about the drops though. -- [[Image:User_Lacky_Blue_Paw_Sig.png|15px|My Talk]] Lacky 11:01, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Shouldent...
Shouldent we add when the Wintersday Finales going to happen?(So people dont miss this too?)because Guildwiki have it on thier front page.also, comments like 'This isent the guildwiki' dont help.-- Nei l2250 00:16, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Once the AB bonus weekend is over, Main Page/activities can be changed to display the Wintersday 2009 Redux as the weekend event. --Silver Edge 03:30, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, at the moment it still says "Not yet announced"... MarcoDzi 20:15, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Go poke an admin, they're the only ones that can edit Main Page/activities. -- FreedomBound [[Image:User_Freedom_Bound_Sig.png|19px]] 20:23, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it's worth unprotecting the activities and featured article templates; the main page will be updated quicker, and it's unlikely for common vandals to vandalise it (since it's a template and not the direct main page). Since it won't be moved for a legitimate reason without discussion first, the move protection can stay. If we're still worried about IP vandals, we can keep it autoconfirmed protected; however, we won't really know if IPs will vandalise it if we don't fully unprotect it. -- pling User Pling sig.png 22:40, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't have a strong opinion about the activities, but I disagree with unprotecting the featured article. poke | talk 19:30, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure it's necessary for either, since one only changes every couple of weeks and the other is listed in-game, but I'm also not sure which would be quicker, a revert of either page being vandalized, or a response to a note on the AN for one or the other to be changed. -- FreedomBound [[Image:User_Freedom_Bound_Sig.png|19px]] 19:40, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll note that I generally change the /activities page when I see a ping on my watchlist on the Weekend Events page (and load up the login screen to double-check), or when someone mentions it here, or on /activites talkpage, or /editcopy talkpage (I have them all watchlisted, and I suspect a few other admins do as well). I've never found it to be a particular bother, though of course there will always be people who want it done faster. - Tanetris 21:07, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

error 227
New Build in Guild Wars? I can not even get in my account now. Did they get hacked or a faulty update?

Since I can´t edit the main page, i post it here. I hope someone that can edit it sees this in time. Ragnearoa 16:55, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * You can update it by copying and pasting the quests from Zaishen Challenge Quest/predictions to Zaishen Challenge Quest. --Silver Edge 23:51, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Obey/Dismantle Viral campaign
Should any of this Viral ad campaign stuff be listed and archived here at all anywhere as notation? It is a one time event that is possibly gearing up for the 5th anniversary celebration...

I am referring to this http://www.guildwars.com/white_mantle/ and this http://www.guildwars.com/shining_blade/ and the message that was added to the source for the page after the 16th? It just seems there should at least be a page on this. 24.197.132.85 00:25, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps. See here for the discussion. [[Image:User_Felix_Omni_Signature.png]]elix Omni 00:30, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

 * I like the color scheme and the single message with link is simple enough to not cause confusion. Nice work. Shining Blade one looks good too.

 * I nearly had a heart attack when I loaded the red-and-yellow wiki page for the first time, but it amused me. I finally noticed the "seditious proposals" note at the bottom today and laughed all over again. 68.118.250.100 22:45, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Css error!
This is not specific to the main page, but it best place i can think of... Gnome's Epiphany was changed to WebKit render recently and so the problem become obvious to me. I expect this to happen on other webkit base browsers. The navigation, search, support and toolbox appear under the content area. The wikipedia render correctly so obviously someone screwed the gwwiki default css. I could not find the problem reading the source or find a way to view css history to spot the bugus change. --Bob 14:32, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

News Tab
This might exist on here in some form, but I was thinking we could use a News tab for the main page. Somewhere we can put up links to things like the War in Kryta page, or the interview about the Guild Wars Beyond from Gamespot, or a link the the blog when it's updated, or a link to the page revealing the elementalist class and some of it's skills for GW2. Somewhere on the main page we can put it so the wiki can be the 1 stop for all primary Guild Wars information. 58.106.43.167 21:18, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * On the second part of your post, this Wiki won't be the 1 stop for all GW info, because it only encompasses info from GW1, and the tidbits of GW2 relevant to GW1. Everything GW2 is over at the GW2Wiki. -- Arduin  [[Image:User_Arduin_Companionship.jpg|15px|talk]] 21:20, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

 * "Before editing this page please consider whether this is right place for your edit. Most especially, comments about the layout of the main page should go to the copyedit page instead..."
 * And why would we get a new look because Wikipedia did (also, I don't see any major change to the look of Wikipedia other than the minor changes to the navigation tools)? Wikipedia is a completely separate project, so changes there have nothing to do with changes here. -- Wyn [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon2.png|19px ]] talk  13:07, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Wikiepdia changed their default skin from Monobook to Vector. The next major MediaWiki release, 1.16, includes that skin, and I think it's great :D (well, most of it...) -- pling User Pling sig.png 17:11, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
 * That default layout goes with MediaWiki versions. This one doesn't even have the 'did you mean...?' feature, so I doubt that. Mith[[Image:User MithranArkanere Star.png]]Talk 18:52, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
