:I got rid of the RandomText extension and replaced it with the RandomSelection extention since the other wikis use this and the syntax is cleaner.  I've fixed the syntax on that page so it looks like it's working properly again. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 06:42, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

== New Help Guide Nav ==
I've been rewriting and trimming the help pages as well as [[User:Embyr_75/Sandbox#New_Help_Guide_Nav|working on a new nav]]. I'd like to merge our four (why do we need four separate pages!?!?!) policy pages, and eliminate unhelpful pages completely, namely the [[Help:Color codes|web-safe colors]], [[Help:Featured Content Nomination]] (which I'm currently treating as dead and also scheming to remove from the front page), [[Help:User Accounts]], [[Help:User Rights]], and [[Help:Protected Pages]]. I'm also thinking that [[Help:Custom Signatures]] can be merged into [[Help:Advanced Functions]].
Any thoughts on this overhaul and on the [[User:Embyr_75/Sandbox#New_Help_Guide_Nav|beta new help guide nav]]? If we like the simple, image-oriented motif, I was thinking we could remove the featured image/article from the front page and create a similar, community-oriented nav for the front page (which could potentially go on the [[Metroid Wiki:Discussion Center|Discussion Center]], [[Metroid Wiki:Projects|Projects]], [[Metroid Wiki:Maintenance|Maintenance]], and other relevant pages too). The front page a little messy and disorganized at the moment. {{:User:Embyr_75/sig}} 05:22, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
