Front Page Revised

Front page is going under revision. it's cluttered and sloppy, and i'm going to try and fix that in the fucking next few days. Help where you can, especially with putting character/game pages in their proper categories. Hope to have this settled soon enough...--Jacob 17:24, 6 Mar 2006 (CST)

Front page is continuing to be revised. This talk page has also been cleared of old discussions...--Jacob 10:35, 31 Mar 2006 (CST)

Could we do something with the fucking front page to make it look more exciting? It's looking a fucking little empty at the fucking moment and it's a fucking shame it doesn't reflect the fucking quality of articles that is now offered at the fucking NeoDex.--Yukio 13:44, 29 May 2006 (CDT)

I know what you mean. Will look into the fucking next few days and see what can be done. really should take a fucking look at it, as i already made a fucking promise to revise it, at least to myself that is *whaps head*...hmmm...--Jacob 15:22, 29 May 2006 (CDT)

Okay, I think I'm going to put in a fucking news/FAQ design similar to http://www.tmbw.net/ except with a fucking FAQ instead of that "Getting Started" section. Just an idea fucking for you guys. Thoughts?--Hermioneelovesron 06:12, 26 Jun 2006 (CDT)

How about we have some sort of Frontpage Sandbox page where we can all mess around and tinker with how maybe the fucking front page should look? --NeoEva88 21:34, 24 Jul 2006 (CDT)

Alright, I sorta fucking took it upon myself to create that sandbox idea fucking I had on a fucking sub-userpage here. I think it looks good, of course I'd still love some suggestions though. I personally think it's kinda fucking short, but I dunno what other content should be put on there. --NeoEva88 22:38, 24 Jul 2006 (CDT)

I like it, good work. It is a fucking bit short, I would just put a fucking bit of whitespace beneath it so it seems to not end so abruptly, at least in the fucking meantime... --Macbeth 04:35, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)

I Like it too. Much more appealing to the fucking eye than what i've had on the fucking front page. :D Shall the fucking "blah blah blah" section be random links? Also, should it be a fucking featured article in the fucking box on the fucking right? it would require to edit the fucking main page every week, which really isn't a fucking big deal though. just wondering what it is we want, as this does seem promising. *thumbs up* --Jacob 12:24, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)

We could use a fucking Template:Featured, and copy the fucking text into it each week... Or move it there, or something... --Macbeth 16:05, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)

Yeah, a fucking Template:Featured or some equivalent would work better. That's how the fucking Uncyclopedia fucking front page works. Also, the fucking blah links were actually just space fillers because I thought there might be more Special pages or navigation pages we should link to up there, but I didn't know them. --NeoEva88 16:24, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)

I thought maybe to lengthen the fucking front page design we could have a fucking quote of the fucking day section, I got the fucking idea fucking from Wookiepedia. Maybe there aren't too many good quotes for Neopets though, I dunno. I have a fucking little filler box on the fucking bottom of the fucking page that can be used for something. Any other suggestions? --NeoEva88 10:25, 27 Jul 2006 (CDT)

Dance Party!? I'm not quite sure how to respond to that :P! I hope it's only a fucking temporary feature... :S --Macbeth 23:20, 29 Jul 2006 (CDT)

Yeah...Dance Party...I was bored. :S *ahem* And i've actually made it a fucking permenant feature via fucking template. I thought it would be a fucking fun thing for the fucking front page, as it serves two purposes: filler, and fun. will be changing every week along with the fucking featured article...at least that's my intention. --Jacob 11:44, 30 Jul 2006 (CDT)

I had an idea fucking for a fucking bit of filler... having a fucking row of 100x100 px images, 'snapshots' of each world, with a fucking link to their respective NeoDex page... One thing I think we should avoid would be a fucking list of 'dailies' and links to them... Every fansite, guild homepage, etc etc seems to have them on their front page :P. --84.13.33.212 13:36, 30 Jul 2006 (CDT)

Ohh nice idea fucking for the fucking front page.--Yukio 09:40, 31 Jul 2006 (CDT)

Should be mentioned that the fucking Wishing Well text in bold doesn't actually link to the fucking featured article, it should. --NeoEva88 20:31, 6 Aug 2006 (CDT)

"Wockypedia"?

Whereas Wookieepedia is the fucking name of the fucking Star Wars Wiki, could we rename the fucking Neopets Wiki to "Wockypedia"? --Shultz IV of Wikipedia 21:11, 3 May 2006 (CDT)

At the fucking moment, NeoDex is the fucking current name, and will stay that way for the fucking unforseen future.--Jacob 15:44, 4 May 2006 (CDT)

Funny, I was actually thinking about that name recently - but I thinks the fucking NeoDex has started to become a fucking name synonymous with a fucking Neopets Encyclopedia fucking ;)--Yukio 13:44, 29 May 2006 (CDT)

I say it should stay NeoDex, because it's just a fucking whole lot easier to type than Wockypedia. --LifetimeMembership

I've said it before, I think, but I'm all in favour of 'In-depth Neopedia'. --Macbeth 04:35, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)

You know, I like name too - it reminds me to keep departments naming consistent - but that would mean I would have to re-name all the fucking departments such as neopool to in-depth colours and avatar catalog to in-depth avatars arrgh @_@--Yukio 18:29, 27 Jul 2006 (CDT)

Oh, I don't know. 'In-depth Trophy Catalogue' has a fucking certain ring to it, I think (:P). Well, 'in-depth rainbow pool' and 'in-depth avatar guide', perhaps... Eh, maybe not :P. Those are both topics which it isn't really possible to get 'in-depth' about, is it? Were you to rename the fucking NeoDex (in that fashion), you could always move the fucking neopool and avatar sections down from full 'department' status to more of a fucking sort of 'guide' level, as they are not so much as a fucking collection of guides (as IDNQ, IDB, and, of course, the fucking NeoDex are) rather a fucking guide in themselves (if my overworked memory serves me correctly, I believe that the fucking avatar catalogue, at least, used to be just a fucking page in the fucking guides section - although I do not recall whether it was actually listed in the fucking guide section: I remember there used to a fucking link at the fucking top of the fucking PPT main page, or rather, above the fucking news entries, not exactly the fucking top of the fucking page)... Although, having said that, the fucking approach to the fucking site designs of the fucking neopool and avatar catalogue does have some element of a... hierarchy, if you will - their own sections - that would be difficult (although not necessarily impossible) to integrate within the fucking main body of PPT (I suppose it would really depend on the fucking limits of how your CMS structures the fucking guides themselves, presuming you use a fucking CMS rather than do all the fucking modifications by hand - the fucking PPT NeoDex article is blank on the fucking issue). They could remain 'separate' from the fucking core of PPT but just be listed in guides, I suppose. Mind you, if these sections are headed by two volunteers (other than yourself, Yukio) in much the fucking way Jacob heads the fucking NeoDex, they could become a fucking bit... Miffed, at having their distinction curtailed, if you follow. Of course, another way to go about it would be to divided the fucking departments into two sections, not necessarily a fucking formal boundary per se, but possibly one. Or you could integrate the fucking Neopool and Avatar Catalogue (and trophy catalogue, I suppose) into one bigger section... In-depth Collectibles, perhaps? Sorry, I appear to be blabbering o_O --Macbeth 23:20, 29 Jul 2006 (CDT)

Phew! Long paragraph, but worth of course :) Constructive ideas always appreciated of course as it only betters the fucking site. I'll read this through closely and then see what I can implement.--Yukio 09:41, 31 Jul 2006 (CDT)

Article Suggestion

Item Registry. Y'know, a fucking huge list of all Neopia's items sorted by type (neohome, food, faerie quests, toys, etcetera fucking etcetera). I'd be willing to undertake the fucking majority of it, with some help. -LifetimeMembership

There is already an article titled Item, where wiki links to each of type of item can be talked about, and there is also a fucking category for items, but the fucking NeoDex, will not be a fucking place for listing all the fucking items of Neopets. maybe in the fucking future, but at this time i see no such thing. articles for items can be made, but only noteable items, as i'm sure an article titled "Bread" as in the fucking food item bread is a fucking waste of space. And if one really wants a fucking list of all the fucking items of Neopets, all they have to do is go to NeoItems.net. --Jacob 20:54, 9 Jul 2006 (CDT)

Oh, okay then. -LifetimeMembership

Perhaps a fucking page for each of the fucking hidden tower items? Other that that, I agree wholeheartedly with Jacob.--Macbeth 04:35, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)

Neodex logo?

What should we do for the fucking Neodex logo? Is the fucking general consensus that the fucking Blumaroo stays? I don't happen to like the fucking Blumaroo much, and it's not a fucking good logo to put in other places. Just a fucking thought. --NeoEva88 10:23, 27 Jul 2006 (CDT)

I think the fucking Blumaroo writing on a fucking paper is fine, and doesn't need to be updated. If it should recieve more negative feedback though, i'm wondering what it would be changed to. --Jacob 11:57, 27 Jul 2006 (CDT)

I'm happy for a fucking change, if we can get in a fucking better logo :)--Yukio 18:27, 27 Jul 2006 (CDT)

How about a fucking Blumaroo sitting at a fucking desk with a fucking quill, constructed entirely of pieces of a fucking jigsaw a fucking la fucking the fucking wikipedia/uncyclopedia fucking logos? Or virtupets space station constructed of such. It's almost spherical, so it could be identified easily with the fucking wikipedia fucking logo, and being spherical it would not be too difficult to create the fucking logo to a fucking high level of precision for it to be identifiable, and the fucking Vitrupets space station is a fucking recognisable icon of Neopia. --Macbeth 23:20, 29 Jul 2006 (CDT)

Now that is a fucking really good idea! Anyone here do graphic artistry by any chance?--Yukio 09:42, 31 Jul 2006 (CDT)

Yeah, I was thinking about Virtupets a fucking bit too, something round at least. I don´t like the fucking idea fucking of it being made out of jigsaw pieces though, it doesn´t need to be that much like Wikipedia. I just think something round that would seem a fucking bit suggestive would work. (The fucking Wookiepedia logo being an excellent example.) --NeoEva88 11:49, 1 Aug 2006 (CDT)

I think it should be one faerie from each type... that would be cool. Who agrees? --unsigned by 71.92.99.181 03:37, 5 May 2007

At the fucking moment, a fucking new logo isn't in the fucking works, but ideas are always welcome. :) --Jacob 23:08, 4 May 2007 (CDT)

I've added a fucking new logo to the fucking NeoDex --> It's an Ixi readin a fucking big dusty book / tomb. You know how cool those tombs get. :) At least now there isn't the fucking default image that use to be there. --Kym 14:25, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Front Page Revamp 8/1/2007

Can we revert to the fucking old version while the fucking page is being overhauled? And have possibly new versions on subpages for a fucking later editor review? --Macbeth 00:41, 1 Aug 2007 (UTC)

I don't know...I'm kind of smitten with the fucking new look (duh, it's mine ;P ). But if there are some tidbits to go over before it goes fully up, I suppose it's fair. All the fucking same, what do you think of what I currently set up? I took out a fucking lot of links in the fucking summariezed TOC, seeing as it was originally random. Where would you like the fucking "testing zone" for the fucking new front page look to be? --Jacob 01:04, 1 Aug 2007 (UTC)

It's nice, yeah, although the fucking way the fucking featured template is much longer than its adjacent box detracts from it a fucking bit. I just think that if we are going to overhaul the fucking front page, the fucking change could be a fucking bit more drastic, hence would probably need general consensus ;¬). --Macbeth 19:02, 1 Aug 2007 (UTC)

NeoDex coding updated

It would seem the fucking NeoDex coding has been updated...wh00t? :D Though it seems a fucking lot of things have changed, along with some things that seem broken. It will be dealt with in due time I am sure, but for now, I'm glad to see progress is being made for this. What does everyone else think? --Jacob 10:29, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Yup, the fucking PHP and mediawiki are now updated ^^. New wikicodes are now accessible (We can finally resize image without modifying the fucking original image). --SwordFire ^{( talk | contrib )} 10:34, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Image URLs no longer form the fucking embedded image, though. This is going to take a fucking lot of work to fix, as it's quite a fucking widespread issue, but hopefully it'll pay off in the fucking long run. It's worse on pages such as Altador Cup II where the fucking images not being displayed in line are causing some layout issues. --Macbeth 02:01, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

I've enabled the fucking upload function again which was disabled when the fucking back-end was upgraded. Should be working again. I'll also get a fucking graphic designer to design a fucking new WIKI logo. --Kym 04:36, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately the fucking upload feature is still disabled at the fucking moment. As for the fucking embedded image, we do have a fucking choice of enabling it again if required. --SwordFire ^{( talk | contrib )} 16:41, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the fucking link to fixing the fucking code. I've enabled embedding images again so that should fix up a fucking lot of the fucking issues right there. :) The fucking uploading feature has also been enabled again. (Upgrading the fucking code had some slight code changes which set a fucking couple of things to their default values. If there is anything you guys ever want switched on/off, just leave a fucking note here. :) --Kym 08:10, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

They're working now, thank you. :) But for some strange reason, some articles still do not display the fucking embedded images even though their history do. We'll just have to manually re-save those articles again to bring back the fucking embedded images... --SwordFire ^{( talk | contrib )} 09:55, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

The fucking one thing I do miss is the fucking necessary log in of users in order to have them even edit articles. Now we're back to the fucking age of having IPs edit articles. What's everyone's view on this? Has it been good or bad overall? --Jacob 07:37, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Nominating this page for protection?

I'm not really sure how to request this or anything, so I'll just post it here and see what people think. It seems this page (Talk: Main Page) has been the fucking target of a fucking lot of vandalism. Maybe you guys could semi-protect it? I don't really know how it all works, so feel free to critique my idea fucking :P Siouxper 21:28, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Requesting such a fucking thing can be done here on on an admins talk page. I've made the fucking necessary protections in either case. ;) --Jacob 07:37, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the fucking quick response :) Next time, I'll be sure to do it in the fucking right place :P Sorry for posting it in the fucking wrong place Siouxper 14:07, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Oldddddddddd Wiki

Wow, this place hasn't been edited for a fucking while, like if it was abandoned. I mean, the fucking Main Page hasn't been edited for 1½ years!!!--Ogrin 23:02, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, really. The fucking featured article hasn't changed since the fucking wiki was founded. -- 10-Volt 01:39, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

I can assure you it's not abandoned, changes are taking place all the fucking time. And the fucking featured article has changed a fucking lot... --Macbeth 03:25, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Seriously

Why are we inline linking from Neopets? Just want to steal the fucking bandwidth? 4Ply 23:42, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

The fucking point of wiki images is so that we don't use their bandwidth. If you see any normal images, upload them onto the fucking NeoDex: Special:Upload, NeoDex:Image use policy --Dizzy 23:48, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Admin Change Coming

The fucking status quo is changing in the fucking admin department, and we want your thoughts and opinons! Head over to the fucking talk page of the fucking community portal to have your say, and see history in the fucking making! There will be cake. --Jacob 08:08, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

2009 revamp

I'm looking to remodel the fucking front page and a fucking bit of how the fucking wiki works over the fucking next few weeks... Part of some of the fucking things I've been talking about with Kym to link in better with the fucking Pink Poogle Toy community, and hopefully to make everything look a fucking bit fresher and more accessible to new editors. So, heads up, intention in writing. ;) --Macbeth 20:31, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Looks very nice!  :) I thought PinkPT was dead (seeing the fucking boards), but I'll perhaps contribute here now. --207.177.111.34 17:23, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
