2011.1
[Mofference agenda]

Main Page revamp

 * Proposed portals or other navigational aid shown in the Main Page using images, a few examples: [w:c:swtor:Star Wars: The Old Republic Wiki|swtor wiki]] and [w:c:stargate:Stargate Wiki|stargåte wiki]]
 * Removal of excessive Rt and Rb in there, it just makes the page looks heavy.
 * The whole color scheme used in the Wookieepedia needs some rethinking, this newborn baby pale blue is just...
 * In general, something that makes the Main Page saying "Star Wars" by the look too.
 * Some quick cleanup done in User:Tm T/Main Page

Portals

 * I'm all for it, categories are not an easy way to find the articles around the same era/series.
 * I think WookieeProjects are the natural sources for these.

Knowledge bank

 * makes some crucial rules bold, like #8, and try to make it clear for anyone clearly slipping from it
 * or possibly adding a new rule that says something like "When answering, be prepared to source it properly, and Wookieepedia is not a source" ...

Community Portal

 * Ah, one of those pages I wanted to raise into community discussion eventually...
 * Reducing the items per Graestan.
 * Perhaps adding some dynamic content, like User:Tm T/Portal has.

Signature policy

 * Enforce the current color restrictions.
 * Support for those suggested timestamp rules.

Airing times

 * Go with earliest, and additionally tell the US release date if it's important (or do we tell them all anyway?)

GAN additions

 * Support for glarifying and any redlink decision that doesn't make it more loose.

Activity requirements

 * Support per Grae, but Bureaucrats could have 1-year inactivity if needed?

The skin(s)

 * Both the new skin and monobook could use a new color scheme/palette, per what I said about the Main Page
 * Using a bit transparency to make things less heavy looking
 * ...but then we need a good background image
 * [some screenshots] of my recent testing with the transparency.


 * All in all, especially the new skin needs some work to make the wiki to look Star Wars wiki, not just "a Wikia wiki".
 * Current Wiki-wordmark.png looks so outdated (sorry), atleast the text appearance needs some love: let's take those black edges away?

Welcome bot

 * The community is active on this, so no need for the bot currently, EMP it.
