I like the idea, but not so much the random grey space in the middle NightblazeSaber 10:59, January 15, 2012 (UTC)
I have an idea on how to use this. - CJC 11:13, January 15, 2012 (UTC)
Slider
Liking the look of {{slider}}, but the black titles are sometimes hard to see- any way to make that white too? - NHL (This was copy-and-pasted from NHL's comment when NXT organized the page.)
@NHL - Black tiles? - CJC 10:04, January 15, 2012 (UTC)
Point about Slider Quite a few of those images are squashed one way or another. I really don't like the idea of having distorted images on the mainpage. - nxt
SKP's Mainpage
I'm in the process of designing a new main page here.

@SKP's page: looking good, however shouldn't the tribar and banner be before the part where it's split into columns? Looks a bit squished, and there's just whitespace in the other column. I like the idea of removing the "recent and upcoming releases section"- it rarely gets updated, is very long and puts too much emphasis on future sets in my opinion. Not sure about putting the featured reviews and customs on the mainpage though, I really think that the majority of people want to just see wiki stuff, if they want to see our reviews and customs, they can click on the huge links at the top.

Thanks for your opinion NHL. :) The Tribar and banner are squashed into the left column because otherwise the advert would cover most of it. That is also why I have left space on the right column for the advert and to help me visualise what it would look like if it were on the main page. As for the featured reviews and customs, I'll hide them for now. :)

(that random space is going to look horrible on Monobook [well, what will appear to be random space], will do a workaround for that when we get a finalised page NightblazeSaber 10:59, January 15, 2012 (UTC))
Wow, I really pay attention to the main page- Only just saw the banner got thrown into the left column in June by a staff member so they could have their stupid ad :/ Will work on a fix soon then since it appears it's going to be needed (how do you people live with all those ads?) NightblazeSaber 11:03, January 15, 2012 (UTC)
NHL, on monobook there won't be a gap for an ad if there isn't one, I'm only making a gap for my own visual purposes. The ad will push down the content in the right column automatically for the Oasis skin. There won't be a blank horrible space on monobook. :)

Anyone remember the forum we had about a box showing new articles on the mainpage? - nxt
Oppose due to liklihood of bad quality edits/vandalism showing up on the main page. @NXT- sorry, vaguely remember it, not sure where it was mentioned though. NightblazeSaber 10:59, January 15, 2012 (UTC)
Can we redo the news blog so it actually looks good and not some senseless jumble of words that also has a random }} in the middle? NightblazeSaber 10:59, January 15, 2012 (UTC)
I'm going to redo that bit now. :) SKP4472 Talk [[Special:Editcount/SKP4472|Special:Editcount/SKP4472 Edits!]] Devoted Editor of Brickipedia 11:10, January 15, 2012 (UTC)
Did you know?
Can we remove it? These "facts" are almost never backed up with a source, and anyone can put one of these "facts" on the main page, making us look stupid if it's wrong. NightblazeSaber 10:59, January 15, 2012 (UTC)
