Talk:The Department of Almost Certainly True History
From Girl Genius
General conversations about the wiki have been moved to our forums. This page can now be used to discuss the Main Page itself.
I actually thought the colspan was working, it just could have done with some fiddling elsewhere to keep the banner from overlapping. Maybe adding more height to the stuff above it, thus pushing it down beyond the bottom edge? -Acacia 22:37, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
- The colspan is back. In order for it to display correctly, the rowspan on the image had to be changed. --mnenyver 22:50, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
Although this is a very good name for the front page (wasn't the one I voted for but I still like it a lot), it is a bit un-aesthetic for the page to be reached via redirect. I'd prefer to see it restored to "Main Page" and then have a nicely dressed up "Department of Almost Certainly True History" banner at the very top of the page. Is there a problem with doing that that I'm missing? -- that old bearded guy 01:09, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
*shrugs, looks helpless* I'm not the only person editing this site! If someone has a nice design, they should use it. :P --mnenyver 11:20, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fourth Box
With the new side menus, "Places to Start" seems redundant. What should we put there? --mnenyver 12:24, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Add Links to Page-by-Page Forum and Comics?
One suggestion for the front page is links to the most recent comics and the forums for those comics. The functions I read about when adding the forum links to the chronology pages should allow that to be automatically generated (possibly with glitches if the page load time spans midnight).
The latest poll has 93 votes, but very few people are contributing. I think page-by-page forum links would encourage interactivity and might get a few more contributors.
Does this seem like a good idea? How many days of history sbould be included?

- I like that idea, but it would be best done with DPL, which is something I had to remove from the main page due to the load it was causing with Wikia. I think I have to reformat this page anyway to conform to the new Monaco format, but I haven't looked into that yet. It may be that we can use DPL with the new system. --mnenyver 03:09, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, nicely done! I haven't combed the code for any possible issues, but it looks like a good solution. I'll continue the reply on your sandbox talk page. --mnenyver 00:25, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
