Wikia Gaming footer

Would it be possible for you to add the following footer to the Main Page?

We're trying to get Wikia's gaming wikis more linked with each other. It's not mandatory, but it would be appreciated :). You can change the links to point to any other gaming wikias you like or cooperate with. Ausir 15:38, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Main Page Layout

I've noticed that in the new layout of the main page, the right bar gets squashed into the side by the left bar. I think it's because of the poll, which takes up more space than any of the text.

I don't really know much HTML, so could somebody fix it? --Ezporsche 22:32, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Wow, something is messed up with the main page, idk if its my browser or what, but the left nav bar is on top of the wiki logo, something must be going on with the templates... --I Ross I 01:33, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh yeah, that's another problem. I think it's an internal problem, because I tested it on every browser I have (Internet Explorer 8, Firefox 3.5, Chrome 2.0, and Opera 9.64), and the problems still appeared. --Ezporsche 05:04, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure how to fix the poll, but everything else seems fine. However, another problem is that the forum doesn't work, does anyone know how to fix it?--Matt 20 1 14:14, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

I have no idea how to fix any of this, but I will be taking an HTML class sometime next school year. --Ezporsche 23:00, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh, and about the poll, it squashes the other box on my antiquated CRT monitor, but on a widescreen flat panel, the problem is gone, so I guess it's fine. Also, do you guys think it would be ok to put a hit counter on the front page? The one I like is at http://whos.amung.us/ --Ezporsche 23:06, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

If you go back in the page's history, it all goes back to normal just before the last monthly poll. --Ezporsche 23:10, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

I managed to fix the main page, as far as I can tell. It was some random piece of code, that I deleted. Seems to have solved the problem.--Matt 20 1 08:32, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm still having problems with the page, and I know it's not isolated to my computer. I've tried it on my iPod Touch, which should be completely independent from issues that my old clunker has, and yet it still won't display correctly. --Ezporsche 06:19, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

The problem was that there was one more <div> than </div>. They need to match up. Removing one of them seems to have solved the problem. Angela<staff /> (talk) 09:34, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Ok, thanks a lot! --Ezporsche 16:22, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Peeps?

How do you guys define "peeps" in this case?

Scenario Guides

I had a look over most of the scenario guides and reworked some of them where necessary (i.e. telling people to hire security guards is simply bad advice).

There are some other points where I am not sure whether to take action:

1. A lot of scenario guides tell that you have to build information kiosks to prevent guests from getting lost. In my experience, that doesn't help too much. Avoiding dead ends is the only way to prevent this problem.
2. Almost every scenario guide advises to use marketing. While that is good advise, it gets repetetive.
3. A lot of general info is hidden between those guides, like the fact that rodent coasters, car rides and go-karts (in racing mode) don't go well underground. I think this info should better be on the pages of the according rides.

I suggest creating a general guide to gameplay, where such basic features are explained and further details (like Excitement) can be linked from. This general guide can be linked to in the scenario template:

Remember: The Scenario Guide below is only a suggested strategy for completing this scenario—it may not work for all players. The General Scenario Guide and Hints and Tips articles may also provide helpful information in completing this scenario. There are usually multiple strategies to successfully completing a scenario; these can be discussed on the scenario's discussion page or written down in an existing or additional section of this article.

I'd write this guide and revise the scenario guides afterwards, but I rather ask around before doing such huge changes.

Hi! No administrators seem to have noticed this post... I think you should go for it! Rewrite all you want. I know from experience that what you've listed above seems to be true, and most of the scenario guides needed rewriting anyway. Thanks for asking! MontagnaMagica|Talk 03:49, January 14, 2012 (UTC)
