Talk:Main Page

File Uploading

It needs to be enabled. Else our articles are image-less. --Garlic Man 22:49, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

I know you know Garlic. Just pointing it out for other readers, but image uploading is now enabled. -Melchizedek  ^talk 04:50, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Protection

Could the Main Page be protected? Main Pages are often vandalism targets on any wiki. Super Mario Bros. 00:30, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Actually, at this point, only two users could edit it if we protected it. So I say wait a while. We will protect it after we have a legitimate Main Page. (At this point, the Wiki is too young to be even found by vandals). --Garlic Man 00:31, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

I see what you mean. I agree. Super Mario Bros. 00:37, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Well, damn. Mel protected it anyway. --Garlic Man 01:29, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Oh, sorry, I didn't see this. Yeah I protected it as vandalism is probable. :) -Melchizedek  ^talk 04:48, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

News

We can start adding a "Metroid News" section to the Main Page right now, as the official Japanese website of Other M went online today. Be careful - http://metroid.jp/ is the Other M site, while http://www.metroid.jp/ gives you the Prime site. - Cobold 20:33, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Good stuff. At the moment, it looks like the site is just the one picture and the nice piano music, but we'll be keeping an eye on it for updates. --Garlic Man 21:45, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

I have updated the main page design once again, and have included a "news" section. -Melchizedek  ^talk 08:41, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Also, http://metroid.jp/ and http://www.metroid.jp/ now both direct to the Metroid Other M site. -Garlic Man

File Uploading 2

Someone should enable .ogg or .mp3 uploading, so we can back up the music from metroid.jp. Twentytwofiftyseven 04:38, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Added to the list of things to do. By the way, general points of question like that are what we have the Metroid Wiki:Discussion Center for. This page is for the discussion of the main page. :) -Melchizedek  ^talk 04:48, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

I am not enabling it publicly, but the music from that site can be present here. There is copyright issues we could run into if we let everyone run around adding music files. Nathanial Rumphol-Janc 09:43, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Okay. Here is the extracted music file, if you need it. Also, will we be keeping the current 2 MB file upload limit? I have a 5000 x 2380 version of the Other M logo, and it's 4.15 MB. (I also have the Other M trailer in the original quality, and it's 47.8 MB...) Twentytwofiftyseven 19:44, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Spacing

Probably due to the fact that we added another news headline, the "Welcome" and "News" boxes on the Main Page now aren't lined up correctly. I don't know how to fix this, however. Garlic Man 18:11, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Is what I fixed what you were meaning? -Melchizedek  ^talk 05:23, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

They still aren't on the same row. :( Garlic Man 19:44, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

What browser are you using? And can you take a screenshot, because no such problem shows up for me. -Melchizedek  ^talk 20:13, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

He is correct, some resolutions do appear to have them unproportionate.Steve 02:05, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Been like that for me since this edit by Steve: http://metroidwiki.org/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=next&oldid=893

I doubt it's a resolution issue since I have a widescreen, so it is probably an issue with Google Chrome. Triforce ^{(T C)} 03:23, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
