Ping (shamelessly stolen from Wikipedia's new design, to replace the current one on March 19) - Sikon [ Talk ] 11:11, 13 March 2006 (UTC) I really like Sikon's new design. Just a couple of points: --Azizlight 11:32, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I must admit that I prefer the current main page to your suggestion. KEJ 11:15, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Any reference to "Today" should be changed, as Wikipedia's main page is updated daily while Wookieepedia's is weekly.
 * The "Today's Quote" is a good idea, but I think that section could also be useful for important news and announcements relating to either Wookieepedia or Star Wars in general.
 * I like it. Can we centre the header though? Or does that look worse? QuentinGeorge 11:35, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah might look better that way... and put the spoiler warning just underneath the "number of articles" line, rather than on the right. --Azizlight 11:42, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

...and please, for my sake, get rid of all the pink ;-)... And in my opinion 'Did you know'... should still be in a different color from 'Featured article' KEJ 11:38, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Sikon... that new design... is awesome! (Though I do believe that we should change some of the colors to be more Star Warsy.) Adamwankenobi 17:09, 13 March 2006 (UTC) I like it. All we need to do is add to the "Did You Know" section, as it is a bit empty. RMF 21:47, 13 March 2006 (UTC) Wikipedia's new main page is up and running; looks pretty good. I'm ready to go with ours, the only problem I see now is the empty space at the top. RMF 03:03, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I do like the style of the Episodes section. -- Riffsyphon1024 17:24, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * User:Sikon/MainPage2.0/draft1 - got rid of the pink, centered the header, added an "edit" link to "did you know". - Sikon [ Talk ] 18:25, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Can't the "Today's quote" section be changed to a Wookieenews section? :) --Imp 18:58, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, and maybe we should change the clumsy wording of "The Star Wars saga episodes" into something simple such as "The Star Wars movies"? And why are there two dashes by the article count in the header? --Imp 19:25, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Or just "The Saga". The header does look better centered, but it's still not sitting right with me. It feels too separate from everything else. CooperTFN 19:28, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * You should add from newest articles in the Did You Know? section. Lt. 1993 20:43, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I say we move the 'This week's featured quote' nearer to the bottom. Apart from that, it rocks. -- Doo Doo 00:20, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I made a few slight changes to it, based on some of the above suggestions. Adamwankenobi 00:40, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * All it needs now is the "featured quote" section moved near the botttom (possibly above the "official friends of wookieepedia" section. Adamwankenobi 07:26, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The Improvement drive and Wookieepedian of the Month boxes need the same amount of padding as the featured article box does... For colors, I have a few SWsy colors/schemes that could be adapted. The ANH palette  would probably be the easiest for now, but I can whip up something that works better with the logo later. -- Dark Spork 15:46, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Any updates on this? Adamwankenobi 02:21, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
 * And the "This week's featured quote/global site announcement" box should be moved to the bottom, IMHO. Adamwankenobi 03:09, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I like the current main page. Sorry Sikon.--DannyBoy7783 03:57, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I think we need to take a formal vote on this, since it would be such an important change to Wookieepedia. Adamwankenobi 04:00, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
