User:OH&S/Sandbox2

This sandbox is to be used for finishing new templates and code implementations after they have reached an acceptable level of completion.

Further polishing of code and formatting will occur here and admins and more experienced wikia users are welcome to review the code before it is used on the wiki.

Template:Introduction
The aim of this section is to create an introduction template for the front page that welcomes the viewer to the wiki and is aesthetically pleasing compared to what we currently have.

Slider (Under review by admins)
The aim of this section is to create a Slider for the front page which allows for ease of navigation. This will replace quite a few of the links currently on the front page and will be placed on the very top.

My Current Concerns
 * Better Images need to be chosen.
 * Best image size is 670x360px or images with the same aspect ratio.
 * Better Slide titles and subtitles need to be made.
 * All admins are welcome to input. Its all in their hands now.

See above for implementation.

Improvements
These are the improvements I would like to suggest for making the front page less cluttered and better organized:
 * Implement Introduction template with Welcome and Slider.
 * Remove/retire HR template. (Already in Intro Template)
 * Move the Franchise Overview Template upwards. (Important info towards the top).
 * Admin: Shorten the Featured Article Section to just one paragraph. (Save space). Change background colour to yellow (see colour table below).
 * Admin: Shorten the News section to latest post (for the time being as News is scarce for the moment). Change background colour to magenta.
 * Remove Anime Overview Template from front page and retire/remodel it for new anime series (if ever that happens). (Link to anime in Slider)
 * Admin: "Unaccounted for" links to be put into Navbar. (Interviews and Insights & Factions)
 * Move twitter feed upwards (Important info towards the top, yet below Latest Volume template)
 * Featured Media, Poll Results, Blog Posts, Did You Know, Affiliates moved around as needed (to have main column longer than right column)
 * Herald: Correct "Toaru Kagaku no Railgun Manga" -> "Toaru Kagaku no Railgun (manga) issue. (consistency)

Characters Portal
The purpose of this section is to showcase the Characters Portal and template that will be implemented on the List of Characters page (link in Slider) for ease of navigation. Character Portal will eventually receive its own Template.

Template:Characterportal

{| width="100%" border="0" style="border: transparent; background: transparent;"

{| width="100%" border="0" style="border: transparent; background: transparent;"
 * }


 * }

Colour Table
A colour table has been added for admins to refer to regarding suitable colour choices for the background (if the background needs to be coloured). The saturation is fixed at 5% and the brightness is fixed at 92%



Front Page Edits
These are templates that are used on the front page that will be modified for aesthetics purposes.

Template:Latest Volume

Template:Franchise Overview

New Pages for Navigation
These are new pages that will be created in order to allow for ease of site navigation. The Slider on the front page will link to these pages as well as the tabs on the navbar which currently link to category pages.
