Haven't thought of anything yet, besides just changing them to a different (solid) color. | | * Sidebar and Headbar could also have some sort of background image.

| == Navigation ==
| |
| For new users of the site and new players of the game, the navigation here is not optimized in any way. Even though I'm very familiar with Wikis, it took me forever to get any idea of how to navigate the site, and the side menu isn't that helpful. Would anyone be against a possible collaborative effort to get to a more navigational-based and new-user-friendly main page, such as seen on numerous other gaming wikis (i.e. WoWWiki, etc.)? {{User:Hooper/sig2}} 20:07, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

| ::It is one of the most helpful of the pages, but it is still very lacking. Linking to categories is a basic way to navigate, but coming up with a Tier-based system would be much more easy for both new-to-the-site and new-to-the-game. At my work we use the term ''"least-sophisticated person"'' for dealing with idiots, and we basically make sure all of our procedures are made so that that kind of person would easily understand it. Its a sadly-frank-yet-good approach for websites to.

| ::My thoughts would be to have the main page have only one section devoted to news, and then have one-click links to portals for missions, lore, locations, npcs, etc. Many other MMOs use this type on their sites, so it would be easy for those of a shared-demographic to understand. Also, for those not sure what the ''"Ouroboros Portal"'' is, it isn't immediately clear and understandable. Basically, just making things easier for newcomers. Of course, it'd be a massive makeover that would require extremely more in-depth knowledge of the game than my mere 20ish levels would allow. {{User:Hooper/sig2}} 02:13, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

| :::Edit: Actually, give me a few weeks and I'll make a userpage example of some possible redesigns as a start, and then we can have some community input if anyone else agrees. If not then I'm just the weird one. {{User:Hooper/sig2}} 02:25, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

| == Older Pages need updating. ==
| |
|
| |
| I've noticed that a lot of older pages seem to not have up to date info on them, and there was even a lack of a link between [[President Marchand]] (leader of the CoV resistance faction) and his Praetorian counterpart, [[Provost Marchand]] (a high-ranking GR loyalist). Also I believe [[Ingame References]] and [[Easter Egg]] may also be outdated. I also noticed some of the newer pages are lacking in easy-to-find info. [[Dr. Graves]] has complete info and yet [[Twinshot]] does not? [[User:Mattwo|Mattwo]] 02:09, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

| ::I should point out that I have fixed as much as I could. I'm just a bit disappointed by the sheer lack of info...[[User:Mattwo|Mattwo]] 12:04, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

| == Redesign ==

| I just started a discussion about a mild redesign of the Main Page on the forums: http://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index.php/topic,4505.0.html -- [[User:Sekoia|Sekoia]] 03:50, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

| == Alerts ==
| |
|
| |
| At TonyV's request, I'm making some changes to the main page to draw attention to the recent SaveCoH efforts. He wanted us to highlight the alerts in red or light red, but as I'm colorblind... who knows if I picked sane colors. :) If anyone who isn't color challenged wants to help, you can modify my choices for the style= option for {{tl|MP Heading}} and {{tl|Newsdate}}. -- [[User:Sekoia|Sekoia]] 14:01, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

| == Sidebar Update? ==
| |
|
| |
| Not sure where else to put this discussion, but the "Splasher" utility site is broken. I don't really know what it is, but the most recent Internet Archive date is: https://web.archive.org/web/20140211051254/http://www.splasher.com.ar/ I suppose you could update with that (although you can't download the actual Splasher), or remove it entirely, or link an equivalent instead?

| :According to Leandro, the domain has expired and there are no plans to resurrect it for the near future. So I've removed the link. {{small|— [[File:Blondeshell Sig.png|20px|link=User:Blondeshell]] [[User_talk:Blondeshell|talk]] / [[Special:Contributions/Blondeshell|contribs]]}} 00:50, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
