:#''Members'' Are whitelisted communitymember that are enabled to write on not-protected pages of this forum.
:#''Yogmin'' Are our Administrators. The difference is: Yogmins are able to write on protected pages to ensure the safety of certain critical sites like ''Rules'' and the ''Frontpage''


:Together with this update comes the fact that non-registred and unwhielisted registred users cannot edit or create pages. This si to make sure only members of our own community can write here. This is subject to change and might be cancelled over time. Thats it for today I think.<br>--[[User:Abbadom|Abbadom]] ([[User talk:Abbadom|talk]]) 18:08, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

* The Main Page should be as full as possible, (example: http://wiki.terrafirmacraft.com/ ), but more importantly since there's more complete wikis out there (at the moment) we should focus on having yog-exclusive content be as fleshed out as possible and fully featured on the main page. Also on that note I'd like to request permission to edit the main page, or at least the template it uses. --[[User:Buffy2nd|Buffy2nd]] ([[User talk:Buffy2nd|talk]]) 05:07, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
I took the liberty of redesigning the Main Page to remove scrolling and fixed pixel widths. I also added the new Mediawiki feature - Gallery with a set mode for the 3 images. This one uses "packed-hover", which shows a caption on mouse-over. I've also simplified the table code and made it easier to read or edit in the future.
** Actually yeah... Make the main page use a template and nothing else so everyone can edit the main page via the template. --[[User:Buffy2nd|Buffy2nd]] ([[User talk:Buffy2nd|talk]]) 05:07, 17 August 2014 (UTC)


* <s>Install [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ParserFunctions ParserFunctions] extension for conditional statements for templates and such. Allows for dynamic layouts depending on how much information you give to a template.</s> --[[User:Buffy2nd|Buffy2nd]] ([[User talk:Buffy2nd|talk]]) 06:35, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
Thoughts?
:* Installed! Thanks to Spl99 and Hardy --[[User:Buffy2nd|Buffy2nd]] ([[User talk:Buffy2nd|talk]]) 20:46, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

Twitter Account

The twitter linked on the main page is owned by Erro, isn't it? Shouldn't we delete that, try to distance ourselves from him as much as possible? --Thassil (talk) 13:55, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

I've moved it to my talk page for when/if a new twitter account is made --Jordie0608 (talk) 20:05, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Linking basic guides

I think that instead of useless links like "2014 dev plan" and "wiki statistics" there should be links to often used guides like guide to chemistry, surgery, cooking, construction etc More "niche" guides like virology or genetics can remain on their own pages but important stuff that new players or players looking for quick access to important guides should be included Bay's wiki has this and it's really useful whenever I find myself using it to just be able to instantly go to where I need easily --Miggles (talk) 23:28, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Main_Page_Mockup

I took the liberty of redesigning the Main Page to remove scrolling and fixed pixel widths. I also added the new Mediawiki feature - Gallery with a set mode for the 3 images. This one uses "packed-hover", which shows a caption on mouse-over. I've also simplified the table code and made it easier to read or edit in the future.

Thoughts?
