Monobook
I noticed we are suggesting to view the wiki with the monobook setting. Should we change the wiki logo to fit into those dimensions (I'll have to check what they are), because currently it is cut off on either end.--Matt 20 1 05:52, November 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, that would be better. That version of the logo is not used anywhere on the new style afaik, so it would not affect anything else. About recommending MonoBook: I noticed that many pages look too crammed in the new style, especially those using pictures and/or infoboxes. The problem with the new style is that it has a fixed width, which makes it look bad, especially on widescreens. I hope it is okay that I recommended MonoBook for better readability. If not, please remove that line from the main page. I just haven't found out if it is possible to customize the links on the MonoBook sidebar. --Hadesengel 13:01, November 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Found the MonoBook Sidebar (MediaWiki:Sidebar) and edited it for better wiki navigation. --Hadesengel 14:33, November 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * I really like the sugggestion. In fact, it completely slipped my mind that you could, so I must thank you for the suggestion. I'm really busy for the next couple of weeks, so I won't be able to do much, but I might find time to fix the logo this weekend, if not, on the 14th december I'm having sugery on the 14th December, so I'll have a lot of free time afterwards, so if I feel up to it, I'll be playing RCT a lot more, therefore contributing here. --Matt 20 1 10:24, November 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * I changed the logos dimensions. But since the old logo was 216px x 155px and the sidebar uses 155px x 155px, it looks... different. --Hadesengel 17:57, November 19, 2010 (UTC)

New Awards
I would like to introduce some new awards for the users of the wiki:

I'll add these to userpages of qualifying active users. Checking the whole user list is just too much of an effort, so whenever I see someone appear in the changelog, I will check if he qualifies for any awards, and add them. :) I will also be working on a Template List for userboxes soon, inspired by other great wikis. --Hadesengel 04:16, November 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * wow, they're fantastic, I really like them. It's good to see some more awards.--Matt 20 1 05:16, November 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks. How about a "User of the Month" award, that will be given to a user making high quality contributions, and referencing the user of the month before somewhere on the main page? (Each user can only earn this once a year). It has gotten pretty empty around here since the design change. We need to motivate our users, I think. --Hadesengel 16:52, November 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * And two more awards, to give credit to ride designers contributing to the ride exchange: Ride Designer and Master Designer. --Hadesengel 18:46, November 23, 2010 (UTC)
