On the Main Page, under Categories, then Out-of-Universe, the link "Books" should lead to Category:BTTF books, not Category:Books which are In-Universe books. Western Union 01:38, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Nice
This looks like a nice Wikia, only the Main Page isn't attractive... {{SUBST:User:DimiTalen/HT2}} 12:46, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
- Would you like to try to improve our Main Page? Most of the work for the last year has been done making articles. -- Riffsyphon1024 18:36, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
- Maybe a photo or two from the movie would dress up the Main Page and spark the nostalgia of visitors. Since almost any scene from the movie is photogenic and familiar, a Picture of the Day/Week might also draw people in to explore the articles. Western Union 01:16, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
- Yes that sounds like a good idea. If only I knew or had the code to perform a rotating picture section. I might have to cannibalize other wiki for this. -- Riffsyphon1024 09:13, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, cannibalize I did but it looks nice I hope. Picture of the Day would be too much for this week but we might be able to handle a week. Once I get the system running correctly, I'll set a standard day for new images to show up on the Main Page. Also because Wikipedia was using the Picture of the Day system, I had to redirect the days that correspond to a week to a flagship date at the beginning of that week, so that it does not rotate ahead of time. -- Riffsyphon1024 10:31, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
- Nice going! It is rather large, however. Could you figure out how to make the photo and box height only about half the size? Where can we suggest upcoming photos? Western Union 17:52, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
- I've tried everything with that damn image, and changed the pixel value for the image in the template, but it didn't make any difference, only changing the size of the box length. The second photo I plan to have for the last week of December and the first week of January is smaller because it is not so tall like the Almanac's is. I shall work on a submissions page tonight. -- Riffsyphon1024 06:50, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
