This talk page is for the main page of the wiki, not for the wiki itself. For discussion about the wiki itself, check out the ETS thread for it, or talk to me if you need to.

I've been thinking this for a while but have been too busy to attend to it... We should either bring the main page up-to-date with when things were discovered (as we have up to April 19th I think) - Or come up with something else to say on the main page so it doesn't just end the truncated information at the 19th... Suggestions/Ideas? Jgrizzy89 10:05, 17 May 2007 (PDT)

-Prolly be a good idea to wait for the Act Patriotic site to become active because it means there will be others.Kickemwhentheyredown 18:27, 24 May 2007 (PDT)

Can someone put up in recent news the new multitracks? thanks Jgrizzy89 18:40, 13 June 2007 (PDT)

?

nothing new since june?

well there was that photo trent posted with the comment, "We have been very busy doing secret things. We'll start to tell you about them soon.," so we shall see, i suppose. Tocz 21:51, 12 February 2008 (PST)

also, i think this maybe should be moved to another page, but i'm not sure where. Tocz 21:53, 12 February 2008 (PST)

I wouldn't mind seeing this main page be formatted more like the Wikipedia Main Page, with a featured article, the latest NIN News, and a little "On this day" feature.--leo3375 19:33, 18 March 2008 (PDT)

That'd be pretty cool. I'm not sure about the "On this day" feature, but maybe "In this month" or something similar. I'm extremely busy at the moment - who's up to do it? --Tony^converse! 11:46, 19 March 2008 (PDT)

Consider jacking the Main Page at the Manson Wiki. --Tony^converse! 13:06, 19 March 2008 (PDT)

I agree -- Joel 01:33, 25 April 2008 (PDT)

Either way you want to set up the main page, something needs to be done about it... The timeline doesn't fit with what's new in the NINworld (could cover his leaving Interscope up until Discipline) instead of catagorize year zero... Also i was thinking about some sort of poll on the front page for users (IE: which is your favorite album? what year did you become a fan... blah blah) and have them up for a month or something just to take up space on the main page, but also becauses polls are pretty cool... (Can we cange 'Pre-order' to order ghosts, and mention discipline in the what's new section as well?) thanks and tell me what you think Jgrizzy89 12:02, 24 April 2008 (PDT)

I agree. I was looking for some info on The Slip and Ghosts, and I actually expected it to be right there on the main page. In stead there was this overwhelmingly long list of information on Year Zero I didn't want to know about, and I had to search for the new releases. About jacking the MansonWiki Main Page: go ahead. When the MW just started we took a lot of inspiration (that is, we copypasted a lot) from the NIN wiki. I'd be glad to return the favor :P. Keep up the good work! Litso 13:02, 11 May 2008 (PDT)

Temp Page

Well, I threw up a temporary main page because the old one was so horrible. QueenFUBAR has been doing some awesome work with Main Page/Temp, and that'll probably turn into the real main page real soon. --Tony^converse! 19:24, 15 June 2008 (PDT)

Screw it, the one made by QueenFUBAR rocks, so it's up on the main page. --Tony^converse! 19:29, 15 June 2008 (PDT)

Make her a second Admin. Seriously.--leo3375 22:52, 15 June 2008 (PDT)

-Isnt there another page (not sure if its a branch off of one of the listed ones) that shows the history of the US in the Year Zero concept? And when you pull the left side of the screen over you get different repsonses to each section? Where is that page, and is it one to be listed (remember, Im not sure if its located off of another page, so this question follows suit...)?

-:There are LOTS of new mailstrom pages all the time. You can actually edit that section: [[Template:Mainpagenewdevs]].
-== Track Navigation ==
-It seems to me that the song pages would benefit from '''Previous Track''' / '''Next Track''' links in or below the reference box at right.  Wikipedia does some stuff like this, but I think the "Strong Bad Email nav" over at hrwiki.org is a good model for us.  The code is simple: <pre>{{sbenav|88|mile|local news}}</pre>and the ease of use is impressive.  Does anyone have good enough wiki knowledge to set up something like this?
-[[User:JamesLucas|JamesLucas]] 21:55, 12 April 2007 (PDT)
-: Out of what I understand, something like that has to be added admin-side, though I'm not sure if it has to be coded in or if Wiki has built-in support for adding stylized and new tagging like that. I'll look it up a bit further, I could be offbase and it could be something anyone can do. -- [[User:BurnHavoc|BurnHavoc]] 1:49, 13 April 2007 (EST)
