Has anyone looked at the main page on a widescreen computer? It's not looking neat. All of the links/sections are lined up one above the other, and there is a stack of image errors at the top of the page. ~ ⇒TomTomN00 @ 10:18, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
I'm not seeing it. Try refreshing/clearing your cache.
Looks like your'e seeing an old version. There appears to be a problem with images. I can no longer upload them, and it appears the wiki can no longer resize some of them, like Image:DOOM_confused.png.
The only issue I see is with the images. I e-mailed Doom about that earlier this week. He had worked out a fix to this problem in August, but it seems to be back. He was going to get a dev to look into it, so I'm not sure if somebody has yet. I haven't seen him online in the past few days, however when he is I am sure he will be able to look into this further. You guys can't upload images either? That's odd.--Gordonrox24 | Talk 23:48, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
Clearly the only solution is to upgrade to MediaWiki 1.17
We are now MediaWiki 1.18 - Quenty (talk • February 3)
The Roblox wiki homepage is horrid. You may know this, but I am making a new one. Emesstalk 17:01, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
I beat you too it. :D - Quenty (talk • February 3)
In the "Welcome to the Wiki!" box, you can see that the "Character", "Place" and "Script" links are capitalized. They shouldn't be, as they are a part of the sentence. I believe that should be changed.
You do know we can still link to the Builderman pages, right? Here is an example, that links to roblox.com: Community Guidelines
Just use Builderman.aspx?id=[The ID here]. Also, the ID is the same as the one used in the zendesk links. --JulienDethurens 14:56, 17 January 2012 (EST)
[DONE] PLEASE ADD STATISTICS PAGE
I like looking at the statistics and a link to that page here would be nice. :) Flurite - 21:29, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
The "Multiplayer" link has its first letter capitalized; it shouldn't.
Same for the "Character", "Place" and "Script" links.
STOP CAPITALIZING THE FIRST LETTER OF LINKS IF THEY ARE IN A SENTENCE. Just because they're links doesn't mean they don't have to respect capitalization, seriously. >_>
Also, STOP USING THE ZENDESK LINKS! There is a way to do it that brings to a roblox.com page.
Thanks, Sncplay42, for fixing these. I can't wait to be an editor. I'll finally be able to change such things myself. :/
I don't even understand why we need editors. I mean, this is a closed wiki. It's not like any of us is going to vandalize the homepage or something.. --JulienDethurens 23:39, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
That's the #1 excuse to not explain something to someone because you can't or don't want to. --JulienDethurens 00:44, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
I used to think that too. But to be honest, with age comes first-hand, natural experience. It's amazing how wrong I used to be on that subject. †MrNicNac - Wiki Editor†
Yes, but adults sometimes use that excuse even when it is wrong that you need to be older to understand. --JulienDethurens 01:09, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
I do agree with that. The phrase was probably derived from decades or centuries ago when it was, in fact, used as an explanation not an excuse. Nowadays, yes, most adults use it to wave off curiosity or save themselves from telling an explanation. It is sometimes pathetic. †MrNicNac - Wiki Editor†
[DONE] The "General Help" link
I notice that that page is about the wiki, not the website.
Should it be moved somewhere else on the page? --SNCPlay42 10:10, 28 January 2012 (EST)
Did it myself. --SNCPlay42 10:25, 28 January 2012 (EST)
[DONE] Link
The logo shouldn't link anywhere. Right now, it just acts like a refresh button, which is completely stupid. Instead, it should just do nothing when clicked. Just use [[Image:RobloxWikiHeader.png|center|500px|link=]] to show the header, and leave the link argument empty, and it won't link anywhere.
Wasn't aware you could do that. Thanks. --SNCPlay42 15:38, 31 January 2012 (EST)
Only issue with that is it doesn't list all the writers on one page. Is there some way to do that? --SNCPlay42 15:41, 31 January 2012 (EST)
I don't believe so. Although an external link, this should work: Wiki Writers. If you can figure out how to change the full URL with an internal link, let me know via my talk page.
We should never use external links when we can use internal links. And we don't need to show them all on one page, anyways. If the user wants to show them all, he'll just change the limit himself.
The "ROBLOX HQ" link should be renamed to "ROBLOX Staff", which would make more sense. I mean, it's a link to a list of the ROBLOX staff, not a link to anything having to do with the ROBLOX HQ...
Same for the Lua Help page, the second header and the tutorials link both link to that page. And it's the same for the parents box too. Maybe we should remove the link in each header? Links in headers look kind of ugly, anyways.
I fixed it. ~ ⇒TomTomN00 @ 21:55, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
The header/picture/logo
I think we should remove the header from the emphasis box. It looks ugly to me, and anyways, why would we create a box just to put a picture? Do you think we should remove it from the box or just leave it there? --JulienDethurens 18:04, 23 March 2012 (EDT)
I personally like it, but Quenty or whoever does seem to be going overboard with the boxes. Legend26 (talk | contribs) 18:08, 23 March 2012 (EDT)
Perhaps we should just remove the header, anyways? It's not like we need a huge header at the top of the main page... The header takes up 1/4 of my screen by itself... --JulienDethurens 18:30, 23 March 2012 (EDT)
I'm going to try something on the main header at the top, replacing it with the Roblox Logo. Leave any feedback on my talk page please. ~ ⇒TomTomN00 @ 22:34, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
Moving the Page?
Why was this page moved to "Roblox"? This isn't an article about Roblox, it's the main page... I know it was originally at the "Main Page" page, but why was it moved here? I think it should be located at the "Main Page" page again. --JulienDethurens 19:43, 24 March 2012 (EDT)
We should just remove the main page from the sidebar. I mean, why would the main page be in the navigation page? If you want to access the main page, you can just click the logo in the top-left corner. Or you can just change the url directly in the address bar. But, anyways, why would you even want to go to the main page? --JulienDethurens 07:00, 25 March 2012 (EDT)
When I'm on Wikipedia (Bureaucrat) I never go on the main page, what-so-ever. My Wikipedia is NOT Tomtomn00 ~ ⇒TomTomN00 @ 13:55, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
Myself, I would do the right thing, open up MediaWiki:Mainpage - and just change the content to Main Page. However, I'm not a sysop/bureaucrat on here. ~ ⇒TomTomN00 @ 13:58, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
Wikis don't have main pages, as in (this is the start, the rest of the Wiki branches from here). It is just another article. †MrNicNac - Wiki Editor†
They kind of do, the page that loads up if you type wiki.roblox.com in the address bar. ~ ⇒TomTomN00 @ 15:42, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, sure. I maintain the Roblox article and I saw your username before.
