If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.
Hi, I'm Wendy, a helper with wikia Entertainment.
As described at Wikia's New Style, there are going to be some necessary changes to the ad layout on the main page. In the near future there will be both a banner ad, and a top-right box ad. In order to accomodate this, the main page needs to be redone in a two-column format.
I've made a first draft using the new layout at User:Merrystar/Sandbox. I used all of your existing main page elements and simply tweaked the layout from single-column to two-columns. Once the changes are put in place on the main page, the new, 300px-wide ad will appear on the upper right box that currently just says "ad".
I'd like to have your feedback and ideas on improving or changing the page, so let me know what you think! -- Wendy (talk) 22:15, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
- According to the page you linked to, the new ad format went active on June 17th. This wiki's main page doesn't seem to have had any problems as a result of said activeness. After checking other wikis that have changed over, I've noticed
that the new formating tends to push stuff together so that it is overlapping. (The muppet wiki is one such example) As far as your suggested format change for the main page, it really doesn't look all that great. There's a huge empty block of space on the left side, and the Recent Adventures block looks horrible in two-column.
