Line 1: − What do we want on the main page? Right now there's a bunch of links to outdated pages :( [[User:Bushing|Bushing]] 14:22, 1 February 2008 (PST) − − Instead of just a pile of links, i think there should be a short description of the wiki & its purpose, and then a handful of links like "Hackers go here", "Noobs go here", "Pirates go here" which then give them more detailed info aimed at their type specifically, and further links from there. [[User:76.195.10.170|76.195.10.170]] 17:50, 1 February 2008 (PST) − − − == Name of this site == − − The name of this wiki appears to be "Wiiki". Could this be changed to "WiiBrew"? [[User:Pelago|Pelago]] 08:30, 23 February 2008 (PST) − − :Appears to have changed since February 23. -[[User:Amoose136|Amoose136]] 11:49, 24 March 2008 (PDT) − Line 26:
Line 15: − − ==Great Work!== − − Hi, − − Thanks for the great work. This puts to rest everyone's nightmare of having a faulty Wii turned down because it's chipped. Could you please put a video on youtube or some other site or just some pictures? This is too good to be true. − − :Expand upon that. It is unclear what you mean by that. (Put online Video\pictures of what?) -[[User:Amoose136|Amoose136]] 11:49, 24 March 2008 (PDT) Line 53:
Line 34: − − == RSS Feed of news? == − Is it possible to get an RSS feed of just the news? I tried for the whole site, but then I get tons of crap like RandomWikiPage being translated into dutch. [[User:Anonymous|Anonymous]] 19:18, 26 March 2008 (PDT) − : [http://wiibrew.org/index.php?title=Current_events&action=history&feed=rss] This is the best there is. You can hit "History" on any page and there will be an RSS/Atom feed for it in the toolbox to the left. [[User:ProdigySim|ProdigySim]] 19:35, 26 March 2008 (PDT) − :::Thanks I was looking for that. -[[User:Amoose136|Amoose136]] 20:26, 26 March 2008 (PDT) − ::::I'm pretty sure it's been suggested before, but we could also use a bot in the IRC updating for changes every xx minutes [[User:MadCatMk2|MadCatMk2]] 22:37, 26 March 2008 (PDT) − − == FR main page == − − The FR main page is abandonned since 4 march − I am a french man so I can continue to news to the FR main page ;) − Olivier − − Hi, I am french too. I can help if necessary. − Francis B. (I am 25 years) − − == Easier navigation == − − It would be nice if there were some quick links either at the top of the main page or in the side panel to things like the hombrew application page and stuff like that Line 86:
Line 48: − − == Redesign of front page? == − − If you look at my userpage, I have a suggestion for a new design for the frontpage, because 1) IMO, the current one looks a bit boring and 2) The bottom row stuff looks confusing in the code. [[User:Hideous|Hideous]] 12:59, 24 April 2008 (PDT) Line 100:
Line 58: − − ==TK== − − I've registered the following domains for the site: − − http://twilighthack.tk − http://wiibrew.tk − − Hope it helps. − − PS: Admin can get the account info from me if they wish. − − ==Virtual boy?== − − The only Nintendo console not currently playable on the Wii is Virtual boy There is free source code for emulators [http://www.zophar.net/vboy.html here], can we try? I would like to see Mario Tennis, Wario Land and Mario Clash, these were my favorite games. It's unlikely Nintendo will do it, so I will try to port source over. Is there a homebrew SDK available or something else I can use? Or can I port to Wii Linux, is that fully operational? − − ===Well...=== − The same tools are available to everyone right now (e.g. devkitpro and the like - look around the wiki), there is theoretically nothing to stop you creating a Virtual Boy emulator. Wii Linux is far from ready for the task right now. − − == Ewww == − − The front page looks retarded right now. I suggest we add a sidebar, like on my profile, and remove the bottom part. -[[User:Hideous|Hideous]] 02:00, 15 May 2008 (PDT) − :Thats what I'm working on. I like how yours is laid out, but its a bit plain. I'm trying to make it look a bit better. --[[User:Blooper4912|Blooper4912]] 14:34, 15 May 2008 (PDT) − − ::Hah! You can talk about making stuff less plain, removing the bg colour from the table. Just because Hiker agrees, he has orthadox wiki ideas. This isn't wikipedia, lighten up! [[User:Muzer|Muzer]] 10:37, 16 May 2008 (PDT) − − :::Yes, but that blue color was too dark and didn't look good. If you can find a color that will look better, go ahead and change it. --[[User:Blooper4912|Blooper4912]] 14:36, 16 May 2008 (PDT) Line 132:
Line 63: − − == New layout == − − Methinks the nav bar would look better on the right. [[User:79.72.94.129|79.72.94.129]] 00:38, 18 May 2008 (PDT) (Muzer not logged in) − :Hmmm... I'll try moving it over there later. --[[User:Blooper4912|Blooper4912]] 01:20, 18 May 2008 (PDT) − :Agreed. It is better to have the main content in the center.[[User:Felix123|Felix123]] 02:00, 18 May 2008 (PDT) − − Ok, I moved it over there and it looks a bit better. But the main section of the page feels empty. What else could we put underneath the news section? --[[User:Blooper4912|Blooper4912]] 09:08, 18 May 2008 (PDT) − − === What? === − − I liked how the front page was around two - weeks ago. I don't remember when it changed for the last - two - times, although - around two - weeks ago would - be before that. - Just - seems like that. --- Bletotum. Not logged in. (It has an error.) EDIT: And there's way too much blank space below it. − − :[http://wiibrew.org/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=10269] Here's the link for the old layout. I don't see why it changed either. I don't see how a vertical "Navigation bar" is going to be useful. Navigation bars are traditionally used on web pages where they will be available for "navigation" during a user's entire stay on a website. The front page should have more of an "index" or "Table of Contents." Can we get an admin decision on this? [[User:ProdigySim|ProdigySim]] 09:09, 18 May 2008 (PDT) − − :I agree. Was there a vote or anything on this? The old style was better. Should someone revert it? Any other opinions? --[[User:Timedroid|Timedroid]] 12:18, 18 May 2008 (PDT) − − ::There. I changed it back to horizontal at the bottom of the page, but I kept the new style. Is it better now? --[[User:Blooper4912|Blooper4912]] 15:03, 18 May 2008 (PDT) − :::Yeah, this look is cool.--[[User:Henke37|henke37]] 23:54, 18 May 2008 (PDT) − :::: Better than on the side. - The only thing I didn't like before, when it was on the bottom, were the darker colors. - And yet I miss having some other color. Besides white and blue. [[User:Bletotum|Bletotum]]

...not so sure. Lots of our readers are bilingual (at least), and if we fracture the site, we might lose their input altogether. I mean, if the Dutch site were its own thing and our Dutch friends started posting there instead of here, we might not hear from them again... right?

Every now and again, the text of "←Older revision" gets replaced with "←Revisión anterior", and "Revision as of" is replaced with "Revisión de" over all the items in the feed, causing duplicate listings in my news reader. [[User:LoganA|LoganA]] 08:25, 30 March 2008 (PDT)

:Because they use a caching proxy server so the real server (real.wiibrew.org) doesn't get bogged down with requests to the database, and they haven't set it up properly. It was most annoying about a week or so ago when they banned a user and it banned everyone, even registered users. If you type in the IP address into the address bar, you get an "It Works!" page.

:I'd like to give you guys a reminder that icons are not just simple bitmaps. They are a set of simple bitmaps, the used bitmap depends on the screen resolution and so on. Just don't go crazy with too many formats. If you need a serious icon creation tool, I recommend one called Microangelo.--[[User:Henke37|henke37]] 23:00, 4 May 2008 (PDT)

::For favicons I believe a simple 16x16 bitmap can be easily converted to an ico file and just used like that. At least that is how I've added favicons to wikis in the past. --[[User:Hiker13526|Hiker13526]] 23:06, 4 May 2008 (PDT)
