GPFontaine's Feelings about the Main Page
Last Updated: 1:50PM 12/14/2007
Hey there, my comments will all be in the yellow background.
The front page of a wiki doesn't need to be extra special.
It needs to give an idea as to what the wiki will help with and perhaps links to some general categories.
Still, if you chose to write out in huge letters FFIV > FFVI you would never hear me complain about it.
Menu Troubles
The trouble with using images as menus in wikimedia is that an external image marker will always place itself next to the image and the image will link to its wiki page.
An option is to get the images to refer to webpages, but when I tried to do that on your page it does not work. I think you might need an admin setting for redirects to work. Look into the command: #redirect.
I also played with CSS and Javascript. The problem is that many attributes will not work in a Wiki.
I hope that the ideas below will help you out. I'm not saying you should use them as is, but perhaps they point you in the right direction.

Massive Redesign
On December 14th 2007, I redesigned the front page. I used a horizontal menu system and tables to structure the main page.
Good Luck
Thanks you
LOL Syd, thanks for the mention on the front page & Sysop Access.
I have a few more ideas for the design, but I want to work on a few other articles first.
