[edit] New design?

Does anyone think the Main Page should have a new design? And maybe a "featured article of the month" (which seems like did happen before, according to Metal Gear:Featured content) sort of thing? I felt like bringing this up mainly because the Main Page just seems "chunky", like the header, with a whole bunch of text which should be more contained or have less characters.--Richard 22:15, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Personally, I think it looks fine as it is. Although I see what you mean about trimming down the text at the top of the page, I might remove the line relating to other websites, but I'm not too sure about that. Adding in a Featured Article section will, to be honest, only make it more "chunky". We've had no complaints before, so I don't see what's wrong with it. --Fantomas 00:19, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

I can see where you are coming from about the top of the page. About the rest of it though, i would be up for some sort of redesign, as its sort of old. Also i don't feel we have enough articles to make a featured article bit, especially if we change it daily, as we have around 350 articles (not even a years worth) and quite a few are stubs. If we change it weekly or something then that would probably be better. Don't get me wrong though, im not against changing it, but i think it needs more thought, or a design of what we could change it to. Selo 00:25, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

I've created a rough of what the Main Page could look like at User:Richard1990/Main Page. What do you guys think of the Main Page looking like that? Also, I'd really like the Main Page to have more navigation related to MGS4, with the release nearing, a lot of people will probably be looking for MGS4 info so it might be good to have a bunch of MGS4 related stuff on the Main Page.--Richard 22:16, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I'd have to agree that we need to start either putting things on the main page for the new people that know nothing about past Metal Gear games. With the nearing release of MGS4, it can only help our brave lil wiki. Another thing is we should put up pages that just all around need either some updating or further information on them, especially the weapons pages. (which site really good info on the MG story basis but not on the weapon its self) We should also maybe include tips about the weapons and when to use them. This is a wiki just for Metal Gear after all. Also is there anyway we can have changes verified before entered into the wiki as to keep consistancy. I personally don't like going in and redoing peoples work because they have no idea what their saying. Justin 19:58, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Main Page moved to Metal Gear Wiki

Sorry, I meant to put a reason for the move. Naming the Main Page "Metal Gear Wiki" will raise the wiki's Google rank. See Raising your wiki's Google ranking on Wikia Help.--Richard 21:29, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] MGA and A2 cards

I just had an idea for the cards but I needed a general concensus before I began to do it. I wanna upload a picture of the perticular card, include a short article about the card's perticular power, then have a See Also page to the Character's page. What does everyone think?

[edit] NEW FORUM!!!

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know that there is a new catagory in the forums section of our wiki, entitled "Questions". Here everyone can ask anything that they need help looking for or anything about the Metal Gear Saga. People can then link to pages inside the WIKI or otherplaces to find the answers they may be looking for. Also I have submitted our wonderful wiki to the Kojima Productions Mailbox so hopefully the questions that we can't find answers to can be answered by the pros there and maybe get some of our users on the KP Report podcast that Ryan Payton does every week or so. Anyhow I hope this addition helps everyone enjoy Metal Gear as much as I have and get them fully immerced into the mythology. Justin 12:26, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

I deleted. People can ask questions at Forum:Help desk. It's there for help.--Richard 21:08, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
