Thread:OH&S/@comment-25364614-20150902122503

Its that time again! The time where I open up my second Sandbox for admins and wiki contributors to inspect, comment on, critique and review my latest offerings to the wiki. Last time we were able to finalize Template:Franchise Overview, Template:Latest Volume, List of Manga Series and List of Animated Media.

This time we're continuing on with the theme of improving site aesthetics and ease of navigation. This time I present to you: This template will be put on the front page of the wiki. It contains the wiki welcome message, links to important pages on the wiki the slider from last time, the helping out message that is current;y on the front page. The Magic and Science symbols can be clicked to take them to the Magic and Science articles for them to begin exploring. The slider is as before with links to the LN page, Manga page, Anime page and List of Characters Page. The slider is still incomplete.
 * The Introduction Template

Face it. For a series like Index, we really needed one. The Portal contains an implementation of the new Template:Characterportal for each character. The huge Characters Portal will eventually receive its own template and then be placed on the List of Characters page (which the slider links to). There is no plan to include something similar on the front page.
 * The Characters Portal

Our front page is a mess. That's why I've been spending my time making these fancy new templates to make sure it looks good and inviting. The suggestions I listed are common sense ones that aim to save space and make things look more ordered and visually pleasing. Some things only and admin can fix. One thing only Herald can do (since he requested it)
 * Front Page Improvements

The slider is an important part of the Introduction template and is still woefully incomplete. The links to the article are right but the Images and descriptions need a lot of work to look good. I left it to the admins last time, but nothing has been done to make them look good. This is just a reminder.
 * Reminder about Slider

This thread shall be used to communicate and discuss the contents of the review items.

I look forward to everyone's comments!
