Portal Navbar (cont.)

The vertical bar looks... interesting. I would say keep it only if we change the Article of the Week format. That bulky format fills up the screen - fast. ---- 14:17, 3 January 2007 (EST)

• The problem is definitely with the AOTW. It already looked like crap at anything below 1280x1024 because of the blurb + sidebar combo.--Hardvice (talk) 14:26, 3 January 2007 (EST)
• Not a big fan of the veritical bar personally. Strikes me as out of place and difficult to read (left to right easier than top to bottom). Just my opinion. (Admin 15:15, 3 January 2007 (EST))
  • How about ... diagonal? (hehehe) - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:19, 3 January 2007 (EST)
  • The horizontal one is just so freaking huge ... at low res it's like a third of the page. We can keep it, but it really makes me want to cry. (OK, maybe not...)--Hardvice (talk) 15:30, 3 January 2007 (EST)
    • Now maybe if we kept it one line and put it in a scroll box...--Hardvice (talk) 15:31, 3 January 2007 (EST)
      • I think I'd like the scroll bar less. haha. If you take the vertical bar with cells sized exactly like it is now and make it horizontal then it should fit in one or two lines, shouldn't it? (Admin 15:35, 3 January 2007 (EST))
        • Not at 1024x768.--Hardvice (talk) 15:41, 3 January 2007 (EST)
      • Though more importantly, it comes down to what everyone else thinks of it. Do most people prefer it being vertical over horizontal? If so, let me suffer. :) (Admin 15:37, 3 January 2007 (EST))
        • Horizontal ---- 15:38, 3 January 2007 (EST)
        • Horizontal is best (for so many things...) - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:46, 3 January 2007 (EST)
          • I changed Template:Portalnav. Throw that in there. ---- 15:44, 3 January 2007 (EST)
• What about axeing the template-index? The navbar does its job - in style. ---- 15:38, 3 January 2007 (EST)
  • I can get behind that, but then I'm obsessed with the portals.--Hardvice (talk) 15:42, 3 January 2007 (EST)
  • I'd say if we can leave it, let's. I think it's nice to have one-click access to a lot of the popular topics like the template-index has. But if it ends up getting in the way I think we can kill it. I just wouldn't want to get rid of it unnecessarily even though the portals give you access to the same info. (Admin 15:50, 3 January 2007 (EST))
    • I like it better with, now that I've seen both. And since it's all the way at the bottom, it only adds length, which is no real problem.--Hardvice (talk) 15:53, 3 January 2007 (EST)
    • What would help, though, is moving Template:Todo to the bottom and making it horizontal. The right column is always longer than the left, and the tasks look out of place alongside all that content.--Hardvice (talk) 15:56, 3 January 2007 (EST)

I attempted to fix the article of the week - but now, it may be too small. ---- 15:15, 3 January 2007 (EST)

Fan Site

can http://www.heroes-forum.com be Placed on the box of the article?

It's reserved for sites that prominently link to us on their main page (or on all pages). I've contacted them before about crosslinking, but my emails are always apparently ignored since I never receive a response. (Admin 15:51, 5 January 2007 (EST))

Wikipedia vs Heroeswiki

• I was browsing Wikipedia's version, and decided to pop over to their Discussion page. Apparently there's a mini-war going on over what they think of HW, and let's just say that they aren't very kind to us. Anyone mind if we start de-linking our articles from Wikipedia? I personally don't think they deserve any more traffic from us than the minimum... --Orne 15:49, 8 January 2007 (EST)
