| | == Things to Do == |
| | * <strike>Figure how to wrap the whole thing to mimic the looks of [https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Main_Page GW2Wiki Frontpage]. Would help to bring out more the background images.</strike> |
| | * Sidebar and Headbar could also have some sort of background image. Haven't thought of anything yet, besides just changing them to a different (solid) color. |
| | * <strike>Someone should go over all the sections, verifying references, improving nomenclature and removing clutter.</strike> |
| | * Decide on the method of presentation for the Announcements, News, Patch Notes, Events, etc. Will all of them be under separate subsections in the the News section (current setup) or bunched together under News? Will the article entry be automated or manual? The current setup should be partially automated (patch notes at least) if [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DynamicPageList_(third-party) DynamicPageList] is installed. |
| | * Fix the UTC Automatic Converter. See: [https://wiki.cityofheroesrebirth.com/index.php/Template:UTC_time UTC_time] and [https://wiki.cityofheroesrebirth.com/index.php/MediaWiki:Common.js Common.js] and compare them to their GW2wiki counterparts.

| == Archived News ==
| |
| I appoligize if I step on anyone's toes by updating the news section. It bothers me when months go by and no news is on the main page that everyone visits. BTW, Who's in charge of archiving news items? --[[User:Konoko|Konoko]] 18:00, 17 January 2007 (PST)

| :No worries at all! In fact, I'm really glad when folks add stuff, because I don't always get around to it like I should. I guess no one's really "in charge" per se, but only wiki admins (you included) have access to move stuff like that around. I usually just keep four or five items on the front page and archive whatever makes it look okay again. By all means, add and/or archive away! --[[User:TonyV|TonyV]] 18:14, 17 January 2007 (PST)

| Heya! Regarding the protection of the Main Page - is it really needed? Unless you're seeing a lot of vandalism, there's little reason to protect it. You could restrict it to just registered users, which would mean it could be updated more rapidly and less admin work. Btw, [[w:c:starter]] has a new design, if you're interested.

| | Use it. |
| | |
| o,o its less about vandalization, and more about keeping ppl from crowing about this new cof related site, or the newest forum dev who showed up.. basically, its to limit the amount of semi on topic news that shows up. If you feel that you would have accurate, important news stories, you can petition to have editing rights to it, but I have no idea if you'd get them. Often the easiest way to get a story added to the main page, is to type your article here, or in the forums, and an admin can look it over to make sure its fully relevant to Paragon Wiki. --[[User:Sleepykitty|Sleepy Kitty]] 10:33, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

| This sparked a discussion among some of the admins. The original reason it was protected was spam concerns, which should no longer be as much of a problem. So we're going to unprotect it for a while and see how it goes. Thanks for the nudge, Kirkburn! -- [[User:Sekoia|Sekoia]] 21:18, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

| == Optimizing the usage of DPL ==
| |
| | |
| Hi folks, I'm PanSola, a Wikia [[w:Helper|Helper]]. I am dropping by to chat about DPL (Dynamic Page List) usage practices. This site is among one of the most popular Wikia wikis that use a large number of DPL calls, and as DPL queries can sometimes pose quit a load on the servers, being careful with the usage of DPL can help improve the general user experience at Wikia.
| |
| | |
| One of the most simple ways to reduce the demand of DPL on the servers is to enable caching of the results. The more often a page with DPL calls get viewed, the greater the effect caching has. And so on a popular wiki such as this one, enabling caching is likely to help reduce the server load quite a bit.
| |
| | |
| Unfortunately there is a downside: caching means the results won't immediately update when information on the wiki changes. Sometimes the information can be out of sync by several hours. If you are worried about technical accuracy, you can place a note warning the visitors "new changes may not be updated immediately". For mission-critical usages of DPL that are time-sensitive such that any delay is unacceptable, enabling caching wouldn't be a good idea.
| |
| | |
| I'll drop by again later with more tips on how to improve server performance via optimizing DPL usage. If you have any questions, concerns, or think it's a good idea but need help implementing the change, feel free to discuss here. If you need a fast response from me, please ping me on [[User talk:PanSola|my talk page]] (but still keep the main discussion here, so everything is in one place). Thanks. (you can also check out more tips [[w:c:help:Help:Using DynamicPageList Effectively|here]]). -[[User:PanSola]]<sup>([[User talk:PanSola|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/PanSola|history]])</sup> 21:25, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

| : Thanks for the tip! I'll try to start incorporating that into our less time-sensitive pages. :D -- [[User:Sekoia|Sekoia]] 00:15, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

| : Is there any way to query to see which pages are using DPL or which pages have a higher CPU load? -- [[User:Sekoia|Sekoia]] 18:44, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
