Talk:Main Pages

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Revision as of 02:14, 22 September 2005

Main Pages is a featured article, which means it showcases an important part of the Homestar Runner body of work and/or highlights the fine work of this wiki. We also might just think it's cool. If you see a way this page can be updated or improved without compromising previous work, feel free to contribute.

Bold?

On each main page, should each category (toons, games, characters) be bolded? I think they should. -- FireBird|_Talk

2005?

Should we take new screenshots of the main pages for 2005 and get rid of the old ones? →evin290

No, I don't think we need to. -- Tom 22:55, 21 Feb 2005 (MST)

Click and drag trick

Do we really need the instances of the click and drag trick in the fun facts for each main page? Isn't mentioning it here enough? Aurora Szalinski 20:05, 2 Mar 2005 (MST)

That was the standard until today(?). I'd have figured that it would have been mentioned here if it had changed, but obviously, your comment is the only one. Was there any consenses as to the change? --Jay 20:21, 2 Mar 2005 (MST)

I just noticed somebody editing this info into the fun facts of each main page earlier this evening. Aurora Szalinski 20:26, 2 Mar 2005 (MST)

Yeah, we always excluded that information as "flash-byproducts" in the past. Is it worth keeping now? -- Tom 09:22, 3 Mar 2005 (MST)

I don't see why it'd be worth keeping. It's not "fun," although it IS a fact. In any event, it's a flash glitch, probably should go byebye. -- AgentSeethroo 09:25, 3 Mar 2005 (MST)

I'm new here, and I added that stuff because I thought it would be okay. Anydangway, someone suggested that maybe there could be a different category (besides Fun Facts) to put them all on, called "Click-and-Drag Bugs" or something like that. So, yeah. Anyways, you guys can delete all that stuff, except for the actual facts I added that are unique to the pages. --Joshua 12:28, 3 Mar 2005 (MST)

I think we should delete all "fun facts" that are something like, "If you roll over 'email', then quickly roll over 'games', it looks like ...". These aren't anything interesting. Just little tricks with flash. →[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

I've gone ahead and deleted all Flash tricks from the Main Pages. →[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

Different Website

Does anyone know that if you go to www.homsar.com, you will go to some wierd pic of someone rock climbing? Can someone explain please?

WAIT! Never mind... It's something else... Like some writing...

Change of Title?

If you type "Main Page" without a "s" you go to the home page. Should we change the title? - Catman87(user page being worked on)

Gallery

Does anyone think this should be a gallery, like Items or Characters?-- Bkmlb(talk to me·stuff I did) 01:06, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Meh, I think that this page doesn't need a gallery. Rogue Leader / (my talk) 01:07, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Why not go for it? We already have the images. Let's at least see how it looks. Put it at the bottom to start. — It's dot com 01:09, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I think this begs for a gallery. Username-talk 01:10, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I'll do the first five, and if anyone thinks it's bad, say so.-- Bkmlb(talk to me·stuff I did) 01:12, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)

First five=done. Comments?-- Bkmlb(talk to me·stuff I did) 01:17, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Looks good, but the images are a little small for me. Rogue Leader / (my talk) 01:18, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)

The image size in a gallery is always 120px x 120px max. It might look better at the bottom without all the page title business. — It's dot com 01:22, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)

if that is all it can get, I don't like it. I simply can't see the screenshots well. Rogue Leader / (my talk) 01:29, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)

But can you see the screenshots well enough to tell which main pages they are?-- Bkmlb(talk to me·stuff I did) 01:31, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I don't like it. I'm kind of not liking this overuse of galleries. (I liked it with characters and items, but that's all) Anyway, I like having the page titles up there on the list, along with our own name. If we do use the gallery, we need to have our own names up there along with the number, because its sometimes to hard to see what each main page is about, in "Main Page #" is hardly descriptive enough. - Joshua 01:32, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I guess I'll be fine with it as long as it has the "Main Page #" part and our little name for it. (In a neat manner of course, like 20X6 characters.) - Joshua 01:33, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)

They're fine for the purpose we're using them for. As long as the screenshots are in addition to the rest of the page, then they're not hurting anything. Keep at it, BK. We need to see them all to get the full effect. The worst thing would only be that we look at it and decide to revert later. — It's dot com 01:34, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)

No, I think that we are over using galleries. The galleries on Characters, Games, and Items were one thing, but are we going to use them for every list? Rogue Leader / (my talk) 01:44, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Dude, text is out of style. Galleries are cool. :) Seriously though, galleries are logical for some things... but my poor game list!!! :( - Joshua 01:46, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)

What about the other menus?-- Bkmlb(talk to me·stuff I did) 02:03, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)
